Why are women wearing those horrible hoof-shoes?

The point of high heels is to create the illusion that you are thinner, by elongating your legs. This causes you to resemble a woodland spirit--a nymph, or similar.

Unless you are wearing those shoes with the platform only on the front, in which case you resemble a woodland spirit of the smelly, hairy, with-a-tail variety. The variety nymphs avoid, out of a developed sense of self-respect and -preservation.

Yes, a chunky platform shoe evokes the 70s and the 90s, neither of which was a good decade for fashion. But the answer is to eradicate the whole platform, not just the back. That just makes you look like a satyr with a tragic and painful heel spur. And a pretty good spa, I guess.

A regular stiletto is fine, ladies. I promise. It's probably better for your feet, it's lighter, and no one who looks at you will wonder where you left your pan pipes.

platform shoes are much more comfortable than stilettos, apparently you've never worn any so shut the fuck up
