I get it. High heels are hot. Tighten the calves. Lift the butt. Taller. More step on me energy. They’re hard to walk in. All valid points.
However, the sound of heels, its like an insecure toddler stomping down a hallway. Just imagine a normal pair of shoes doing the heel - toes slap. Clop clop clop. Cringe.
When I was a teenager our dance team did all our rehearsals on the gym basketball floor. walking across that floor, you could hear every pound in our footstep. That’s when I trained myself to walk on my tippy toes. Light & quiet & invisible. I’ve been walking on my tippy toes for my entire life since then.
high heel shoes? It’s impossible to keep that back heel off the floor. Even on tippy toes. yeah those are noisy. I haven’t worn high heels in decades. I think they’re even out of style. Generation z does not even wear high heels, do they?
