High Heels

I don't know since when I started feeling uncomfortable wearing high heels. For my height I used to be insecure without ones. Especially back there in my country when people do not need to walk as much as here in Japan, I never wear sneakers. Last year I remember I still wear boots often even for going to school just for regular classes. But now, especially today I just come to think of how much I hate high heels.

I hate high heels because I feel pretty uncomfortable with one, but comfortably unpretty without one (I don't know which one to choose!). BTW, I wonder how men think about women wearing high heels.... Lots of woman clothes are designed compatible for high heels, for example, mini skirts will look 'killing' with a sling-back or a stilletto. But wearing them, will kill your back when you have to walk half kilometer just to change the line in the subway.

Anyway, last Monday was a bad day for me, but it was worse because I was wearing boots with 5cm heels. First kilometer in the morning I was still okay, although I was thinking already it must have been a beautiful freshy morning, had I just wear my sneakers instead. I was planning to go directly home after half day lecture at the National Tax Agency (that's why I had to wear formal that day, gosh I cannot imagine going to work everyday with formal dress and shoes anymore now!). But, it turned out that I have to walk a lot after the class, picking up books, looking out several places for lunch and look around for ATM coz I just ran out of cash after my stringent lunch. Poor me I already imagined a dessert just to release myself from the boots torture.

A long awaited call did cheer me up a bit during lunch. But it was only after I got home that I really enjoyed being freed from the high-heel-syndrome. Suddenly the day was felt much better, the books were a big help, and the call was felt as the most relaxing casual conversation as I rewind my thought for that day.

Heels however is a must worn formal fashion items for women, at least it will still be for the next two decade I guess (God, I hate the person who invent this fashion!). So, I better prepare myself, for my formal office work will start soon. But somehow I'm still thinking maybe we can invent something else, how to look good without high heels...hmmm
