These flats were made for walkin'...

Personally.....I wouldn't want to be with a woman who spent that much time & energy worrying about what men want. Not to mention the pain & potential physical damage.

This is a very strange piece. The title leads you to believe this is primarily about a study of women in heels - but it's actually more about males and their dance movements.

Anyway, if the experiment with women in heels is like the men's dance experiment - then it sounds like this isn't a study of how a woman looks in heels - but rather whether men notice a change in their movements while in heels using a 3D capture technique.

In any case - I have to say there is far too little data to even know if this study has any merit - let alone any tie to appearance.

No...the internet is a very serious place.

Probably because we're not checking out the feet.

No need to take defense - I was commenting about the article and study and noting the lack of information and the fact that the title of the article covered a smaller subject matter of the whole story. I don't know what's "unchill" about addressing that.

If you feel those points aren't worthy for discussion then you don't. No biggie. Just realize that nobody was attacking or addressing your interest in it.

That's cool...it just needs more information so there's actually something to base an opinion on. The best I can guess at is that it is similar to the 3D study they did for the guys.

And on that note, they could have at least posted the 3D modeling of the guys dancing so it could be assembled with CC Music Factory's "Everybody Dance Now" so we could have a new meme.

Keep telling yourself all of that.

All I'm saying is wear whatever you're comfortable in.

Man...loaded question. It depends on what they are wearing and where they are.

Sometimes barefoot looks best (um..I do NOT have a foot fetish) ... it would probably be easiest to show pics and ask, "Heels or no Heels?"

it's not the SHOES. it's what the shoes do for the LEGS!

I saw a blurb about this the other day and have been thinking about it. Biologically / evolutionarily speaking, high heels sort of lift and separate the buttocks, which is a classic posture for sexual readiness, so it appeals to the amygdala (or "lizard brain") in males.

However, I personally don't buy shoes to impress men. I know they won't notice the shoes themselves. I buy them because they are cute, and I can wear them comfortably. If I had trouble wearing them, it would affect my posture, and me falling and breaking my ankle is not sexy. (And yes, I've done that.) But if the shoes make my legs and butt look better, more the better.

For my answer, I will use the same woman in heels and without shoes. I shall spoiler the images so one does not bias the other.
In heels:

HOT!

HOT!

Conclusion?

When I had a car living in the midwest I wore heels all the time bc I only had to walk into a building, do a few things and then walk out.

Living in the city I NEVER wear heels. I would die from tripping over a crack in the sidewalk not to mention I hate feeling like I can't run without doing the "girl trot" which ends up being the pace of a brisk walk with lots of arm movement.

What pisses me off is when I had a job that forced me to wear high heels. I would spend 8 hours STANDING in high heels.....fucking torture.

This. (I don't buy shoes to impress women either.) I think high heels are sexy, and they do make your legs look both leaner and more shapely. But I won't wear heels out if they're uncomfortable.
I find heel height makes a big difference. In my younger days I wore heels all the time, but they were rarely over 3" and were pretty comfy. Most of these 4 and 5" heels that are the rage nowadays absolutely kill me.

This is the right answer. If a woman likes how she looks in something, she's going to feel and exude confidence. Confidence is sexy.

Yep...confidence. Totally sexy.

But nice shoes don't hurt.

how about: What do you men think about women in heels? Does it make a difference to their overall appearance/attractiveness?

eh?

xo

Heels don't make the woman hot. Being hot makes a woman hot.

Being naked helps too.

The problem is getting past the boobs.

Now having recently moved to the Latin part of Chicago short skirts and high heels=

“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”

Depends on how much spread teh leg.
