What life is all about.
I couldn't help but notice a woman in high heels this morning. No, not because of the heels, necessarily, but because she avoided walking over a grate that I didn't think twice about.
Why?
Well, as women who have worn high heels will tell you, walking over grates with the shoes on is strictly prohibited. As such, walking around a place like NYC is an adventure in avoidance of grates, to say the least.
Which leads me to this: there's gotta be some discomfort in walking around grates all the time. For instance, if you're talking with someone while you walk, or simply walking with someone else at all, you must move, often times many feet, away from that person. Likewise, if you're in a rush, you probably want to use the most direct line to your destination.
Which is all to say that there must be some benefit to wearing high heels that is great than the cost of being late, or acting slightly awkwardly in social situations. And greater than the cost of foot surgery at a later date?
