Default What is it about high heels?

Can anyone explain to me what make high heel shoes appealing to men? My wife complains that they hurt her feet, but she knows I love it when she wears them when we go out.

What's up with high heels? Did men invent the heels or did women?

They change the profile of the leg making them look sleeker. it also makes their feet look smaller (due to the angle). It also makes a woman look taller.

I agree with Bieg, it changes the shape of the leg making it look more slender and elegant .......

absolutely correct.

the high heel elongates the calf and makes the woman's leg look longer again by articiallly pointing the toe.

BTW, I'm sure they're unbelievably uncomfortable to wear but damn they look good on women

The also change the walk, plus change how the hips are held. "Catch me, f* me" is how I heard it described once.

Once girl I knows refuses to date any guy who's not taller than her - cuz she has to wear heels and she thinks it wrong to be taller than her date.

I really can't stand heels that look like the last two pictures. They remind me of stripper shoes and I think they look really tacky.

I would never wear something like that...

These are more my style:

I don't find high heels that appealing when a girl is walking in them. However, the high heels that Babygrass have shown are pretty stylish and attractive.

I do however find those "stripper" type high heels incredibly sexy when a girl is posing in a picture with them on.
