—Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley [Style.com]“Designers with an obsession for towering torture chambers, often poorly designed for the well-being of the foot, must get a reality check.
I, for one, am over the mania for the high, high heel.
Too many career women look like a herd of fashion beasts, aping one another in impractical shoes.”

I understand that the Fashion World couldn’t care less about my opinion… but I soooo agree!! What’s the point in damaging your feet, or any other part of your body, in the spirit of pretending to be sexy, according to other people’s standards? I love shoes, but I love my body even more…
And no, I do NOT even own a pair of crocs. There are limits, after all.

So true. I can’t imagine going through a whole day at work in heels! I wear plain black leather slip-on shoes.

Agreed! My highest pair of shoes are only like 2-and-a-half inches.
