Ladies, who here has caught her heel on a crack in the sidewalk and done a faceplant in front of, oh, everyone?  Meeeee! If you’re lucky, you walk away from such a topple with no more than a skinned knee and a bruised ego. But in worst-case scenarios, a woman can badly twist her ankle from falling in heels. The last time I fell, my ankle hurt for three days straight. 

We all know of the dangers associated with wearing high heels. But many of us wear — or try to wear — high heels anyway because they look pretty and make us feel sexy. I probably can’t persuade you to wear orthopedic loafers for the rest of your life. I can, however, direct you to Dr. Luisa Dillner at the London Guardian newspaper, who has some tips on how to reduce your risk of a faceplant drastically.  Keep reading »

I’m a wedge girl, which sounds vaguely dirty when you write it out but it just means I prefer to wear wedge heels. The other day I decided it was time to change things up, to really break out of my shell, so I set aside my wedges and threw on a pair of 3.5 inch patent leather pumps instead. I spent the day teetering around like a drunk person and by the time I got home my feet were in so much pain that I was fairly sure I was going to need to have them amputated. I know for many women 3.5 inchers are a no-big-deal, daily footwear option, so tell me: what’s your high heel height limit? What size/style of heel is your favorite? [Shown: Madden Girl Platforms, $50, Zappos]

New York Times, just quit it. Nobody is buying your  purported claims that men are now wearing high heels. Because they are not. THEY ARE NOT! As everyone knows, a New York Times trend story is what happens when a New York Times writer or editor has a friend that does something quirky. All the sudden, it’s a trend. It’s not a trend. Still, writer Tricia Romano does a very good job of stretching her acquaintance with several heel-wearing dudes into a puff piece on the allure, the appeal, the sexy luxury of men wearing heels.  Keep reading »

Okay, I have had it with you, Jeffrey Campbell. Some of your shoes are great, but holy hell dude, most of your shoes are straight out of my disco tranny nightmares (yes, I have disco tranny nightmares). What are you thinking, with the platform, and the pleather, and the fringe and just so muuuuuuuuuch? Also, do you hate ladies, because it seems like you might be trying to kill us all with the completely untenable platforms and ankle-busting heels. It’s just craze. Unadulterated craze. And though many of your shoes may be appropriate footwear for say, introductory classes at clown college, or a night in an ecstasy-fueled rave cave, we cannot really abide by the Jeffrey Campbell-ization of America. Moderation people, moderation.

Designer-Inspired Stacked Heels At A Pauper’s Price

Amelia McDonell-ParryMay 3, 2011 //

Take a good look at this shoe. It is reminiscent of a number of different designer heels currently being featured in magazines and sold at expensive retailers like Bloomingdale’s and Shopbop. Amazingly, however, these stacked heeled sandals — which would look so cute with everything from skinny jeans to a floaty sundress — are from Target’s Mossimo brand and cost less than a hardcover book, a sushi dinner, and a date night at the movies. They are so cute and affordable that not buying them would be kind of silly. And you’re not silly are you? No. No you’re not. We’re not either. We’ll take one in each color.

Actress and singer Brie Larson lit up the red carpet at the premiere of the stoner alien movie “Paul” Tuesday night, in a ditsy floral dress and coral heels. We love how fresh and spring-y she looks, and want to copy it ASAP. After the jump, we offer our best Larson-a-likes.
