For years I have been saying that women’s shoes are portable
torture devices women have become Stockholm Syndromed into wearing. Now a major
celeb has jumped onto this bandwagon (probably because her feet hurt so much
from those feet-mangling spike heels): Victoria Beckham, of all people!
Look, I know many people might hate me for this view, but
seriously, I see the damage done to women’s feet by these shoes (my
grandmother, my mother, my aunts, my friends: where will it end?), and I think
it’s a crime against humanity. (Maybe it’s a minor crime, but it’s still a
crime.) So hate me all you want, but I care about people’s feet and their future
quality of life. And honestly, I don’t even think spike heels look good on
anyone anyway, unless everyone wants to look like Jersey Shore.
So this may be my first time to shout out a thank you to a
celebrity for anything, but thank you to Victoria Beckham: I hope she makes a
difference! Because we all know that if men had to wear shoes like those, they
never would have existed in the first place.
Here’s the lowdown:
