Teetering Atop a 10 Inch Heel


Very high heels. Can anyone really think that these types of footwear were actually made for human feet? Look at any wholesale fashion store for women's styles and sure enough, you are going to see designer heels that include these teetering creations. Stilettos are named after a sword and they look like it, reaching up to 6 centimeters long but with a tiny 1 centimeter bottom. Even so the high high heel remains popular even if scary and precarious.

On the health question, the stiletto heel is completely unsuitable for the muscles and skeletal structure of the heels and toes. So much weight is forced on the bottom of the foot that it is the same as a pachyderm balancing on one digit. Foot doctors report that shortening of the Achilles tendon, sprains, and arch pain have been reported frequently among gals who dare to wear these fashions. To say nothing of back problems, arthralgia and shoulder injury.

What on earth is the reason women buy them? It is said to give the impression of a slim tall leg, strong calf, and tiny feet. It also changes posture so that bust and buttocks, are emphasized, imagined by many to be fetching. (Leave aside all the rumor of the high high heel as being a part of the fetish craze, we won't be taking up that subject!)

But the real attraction is the beauty of a super wholesale fashion high heel. And being taller is plain fun! Browsing a wholesale fashion website and finding a pair of strappy black stilettos with 6 centimeter height and an open toe under a lattice work design -- seriously, how can that not make you want to wear them? And have you seen the Lamborghini stiletto? To be sure, it is just a photograph as yet, but don't you have to fall for a heel designed like the well=known Lamborghini emblazoned with headlights? Okay, not a real shoe yet, just a clever advertisement, but wouldn't you bet that one day you will be able to find this flamboyant design or a great look-alike at a wholesale fashion merchandiser who sells footwear?

The high high heel is not disappearing whatever critics may say: Alexander McQueen is previewing a ten inch high sandal for next year.
