I'm talking about those very high heels. Why do men think they are sexy and why do women want to wear those high stilettos knowing they will wreck their feet?
Answer
Saw a young women a couple days ago at the lake wearing high heels, I thought she would twist her ankle for sure as the ground was lumpy.
Here in Hungary they wear high heels all day long everywhere,I am amazed how they can walk and run on cobblestone streets with them on, jumping onto buses and trolleys. It is a wonder.
I read a very long article by a very old Chinese women years ago who was one of the last "victims" of the "Tiny Feet "culture in China.
With the poor circulation to the lower body, it makes ones bottom half swell up and it is suppose to look attractive.
The richer and more powerful the family was, the smaller the women's feet would be bound.
Poor women had 5" feet so they could still hobble around in the fields and work while the super rich had feet as tiny as 3"!
Basically they had stubs hanging off their legs.
Seems we have fashions that came from total abuse of women and we still fall for it.
High heels make one feel taller and look weaker and frail, very fem. like a little victim who needs a man for protection.
It is also a symbol of power, rich men have women who don't need to walk or protect themselves, they have the power to take care of their women.They can afford cars, drivers and maids to do the things women can't do for themselves when their feet are bound or proped up in modern high heels.
I admit, I have some 2 1/2" heels that I rarely wear, they look nice with some outfits but again can only wear them when I am being "taken care of'' as when we are driving and my husband is with me. I don't wear heels when I am alone and need to watch out for myself.
It is a control issue that women have bought into.
You may want to read up on the history of foot binding and the history of shoe fashions.
Powerful men in history have also worn high heels, a sign or power.
Read the answer about ballet dancers.Yes I took some ballet classes years ago and our instructor was always saying how a dancers dancing days were numbered and how they usually wound up with serious back and foot issues as early as in their 40's.
I had a couple friends who were performers of ballet and they were always in some sort of pain.
They could dance but barely could walk.They wore flat shoes in their everyday life most times.
You can always tell the older ladies who used to wear high heels, they are now wearing orthopedic inserts and have toes that look like twisted twigs, sad.
In Las Vegas where we used to live, you would often see women hanging around the casino's in groups wearing," Hooker Heels" . It was like a calling card, a way to advertise they were available, makes you wonder who really is behind the high heels fashions,men or women.Who is really in control.
My son was in Japan and saw some of the really crazy platform shoes the girls were wearing. Many find themselves in the hospital with broken legs and twisted ankles.What a price to look sexy.
Sorry for such a long answer, really a "sore" subject with me. It is hard to find nice looking shoes that don't have high heels, they are either too casual or too old fashioned looking, the shoe industry seems not to make many shoes for dressing up that don't have high heels.
Maybe in the 1960's women should of thrown out the high heels instead of burning their bra's.

Food for thought:
All runners who compete need a closing kick. So, learning the proper technique to sprinting 100m with standing starts is very helpful.
A better 100m run â form and technique will get you there. - ptfa.geo answer:

After that, distances will shape your mindset on improving your speed. You have to find suitable techniques, to your style of running to achieve faster running times.
Running Technique Keys:
Faster Running in General:
Running faster requires - either, a higher out put of leg rotation or running on your toes or both. Pumping your elbows to the back harder and faster is the key to getting a higher leg rotation. However, XC runners should stay away from being too high on their toes - risk of twisting an ankle is too great.
A racing shoe that properly fits your foot and used for race purpose only, will enhance your speed. Placing a thin insole in your racing shoe makes your racing shoe feel very comfortable for running in without soaks. Replace the insoles when they begin to show signs of wear or when they are flat in your impact area. They can be bought in some grocery stores.
Faster 100m -
requires 100% application of arms and legs at a maximum output rate.
Faster 200m (curve) -
requires special lean techniques for running the curve at top speed. The straight lean for wide curves and the "T" Torque for tight curves are the dormant lean styles. Application of the 100m running technique is used for the straight.
Faster 400m -
requires strategy, stamina, cursing power and a burst of closing kick energy. Having enough energy to close strong is the key.
Faster Speed For Races Greater than 400m -
requires strategy, higher leg rotation endurance, cursing power, body ventilation and relaxation skills, an on-and-off valve for generating power with your arms and, a final burst of closing kick energy. Having enough energy to close strong is the key. (Your technique is knowing when to use these essentials.)
Faster Hurdles:
Requirement:
One needs to have an ability to go air born in a balanced manner and then return to earth by hitting the ground running.
The secrete to hurdlers' speed is in; the placement of their starting blocks, the rhythm in their running between hurdles, the use of their arms, the placement of their lead leg after clearing the hurdle and, the methods needed to close out the last four hurdles.
The hurdle heights for high schools are:
American Girls - 30 inches and 33 inches
American Boys - 36 inches and 39 inches
The hurdle heights for college and open divisions are:
American Women - 30 inches and 33 inches
American Men - 36 inches and 42 inches
Faster Race Walking:
Requires:
Sustained pressure on the hip joints. One must have an ability to keep one foot on the ground at all times while walking forward after locking the knee joint. Power swings with the elbow in conjunction with accentuated hip swivel provides the power behind speed walking.
