"I don't do flats"

Whyred - Cardia

Today at work I discovered that a lot of my co-workers are afraid of wearing high heels. A woman around 40:ish talked about the new H&M Fall catalogue and said that she saw a pair of really nice looking boots. But upon discovering that the heels were 9cm, she clearly told everyone that would be impossible for her.

Then she made a face.

The only thing that popped inside my head was: why?

At work I'm wearing a pair of pumps with 5cm heels, and I already have another co-worker (around 30:ish) that has commented: "how can you walk in those?"

And I'm like, well, these are actually my day wear heels. I don't do flats. *laughs*

I'm beginning to wonder why so many modern women out there fear wearing heels. I mean, I totally understand if it's a back problem or other kind of relating injuries. But fearing to wear heels only because of not knowing how to walk is a small reason. Women was not born to wear heels, which means, it's simply something we have to practice a bit with until we grasp it and can walk confidently. But could it also be a generation gap? is the new generation all about Louboutin and Jimmy Choo? And the pre-generation Bally and Pertti Palmroth?

I remember getting my first heeled shoes around when I was 13. I remember that I was so excited. I felt cool, I felt like a new person. I felt confident. But today I cannot call those heels, they were simply a platform of 3cm...or less *laughs* Today I feel most sexy and confident in a pair of 10cm, nothing less.

Today when I put a pair of nice heels on my feet, I feel all excited! Isn't wonderful?

I just can't understand why so women fear the heels.

a. If you are unsure about your walk: why not practice at home?

b. If your feat starts to hurt: begin with a low heel and gradually add inches. I do not recommend going for the 14cm at the beginning. And try heels with a platform, they are much more comfortable than they look.

c. Why wait? Try today!

I totally forgot to show you guys the boots I got from W for my 25th birthday. This year we both bought shoes to each other. It's from a Swedish brand called Whyred.

These boots are called Cardia and the great thing about them is the hidden platform heels and the zipper, which means that I can use these as boots or ankle boots. Genious!

These will certainly be used during autumn with a chic cape! I'm ready!
