These heels were made for walkin'??


What to do? It’s such a quandary
Look sexy or be comfortable, what’s the boundary?

It is a dilemma that many city women face
High heels look great, but in them you win no race

Each morning I wake up thinking heels would be cuter
But I would only make it to work if I road to the door on a scooter

I am in awe of the women who shop in heels on Madison
How do they walk so gracefully without getting a giant bunion?

Last week I walked to 56th and it just about killed me
When I finally put on sneakers, my feet screamed with glee!

I guess I am just more of a sport shoe and flip-flop girl
Only for special occasions will I bring my heels out for a whirl

I can't believe it's come to this: I actually walk to work every morning wearing my Asics, then change into my crazy high heels once I'm in my cubicle. Why do I even bother? It's not like I'm going to impress "Mr. Right" while I'm confined to the 5th floor of a 10 story building with a M/F ratio of roughly 1:500.

Maybe D was right: women don't dress to impress men - they dress to impress other women. :-)

Long live stilettos!!

Oh yeah, I thought of one more reason heels in the city are bad... terrorism. I am convinced that people would die trying to get out of the subway in a disaster because people wearing heels walk too slow... slow walkers drive me nuts!

JP, D might just be right! I've never thought about it that way, but it is probably true! That said, I think it depends on the office;-0 I've heard some crazy stories!

i'm with you on the slow walkers! and i'm no new yorker. jp-- tell d he's definitely on to something.

oh, and the German soccer game (Europa Meisterschaft qualification game) was actually quasi-interrupted (!!!) by a ticker about what's happening in NY. Doesn't sound like it's anywhere near where you are, but hope all is well.

JP, you are right, we do dress for women, because men would rather we not wear anything at all!
