10 Reasons to Love Stiletto Heels

Do you know why you love stiletto heels? There is no doubt that stiletto heels are one of the topmost essential fashion accessories of women across the globe. Red heeled Loubotins and jewelled Manolo Blahniks have been known to play financial havoc equivalent to the GDPs of small nations. And yet, what is it about these pointy heeled shoes that make women salivate and men drool? Is it just fashion and vanity that makes women contort their feet in unimaginable ways? Is it some latent masochistic tendencies or is there something more to the stiletto? Posture, power and Feel good are the key reasons that we love our Stiletto Heels

10 Reasons to Endulge..

Well, of course there’s more to it! Here are 10 reasons why we think stiletto heels are rated as the Fashion & Vanity must have.

1. Stiletto heels are thin and tall. Very thin and very tall. While in their early years they started off at a modest 2 inches, they’re now looming at close to 5-6 inches. They are like the Cameron Diaz of heels. Need we say more?
2. They are named after a dagger. *shiver* The stiletto is a dagger with a long, slender blade and needle-like point and was preferred by medieval assassins as it made for a stealthy weapon to bring men to heel. Well, the weapon may have changed design and form but the name and purpose remains till date. A sharp pair of stilettos dressing up a toned set of legs can still bring most men to heel.
3. Stiletto heels make your legs look wonderfully long and seamlessly never-ending. They add great shape to calves and boost butts. They do for you in the 5 seconds that you take to put them on, what 5 months at the gym doesn’t! No wonder then that women love them and men too!
4. Dancing is easier in stiletto heels than in flats or wedges whether you’re indulging in a bit of Dirty Dancing or just Stepping Up.
5. Stiletto heels make us look sexy. They send out the message that here’s a goddess who cares about herself. She’s strong and she knows that about herself. She loves herself enough to pamper herself and you better not forget that. And then it makes men wonder, what it feels to be loved by a woman like that!
6. Stilettos adapt and accommodate to situations. They work for the powerful working woman in office, the happy homemaker out for lunch with her friends and the sexy girlfriend on a date. Really, it’s practically a dream thing. Just one pair of shoes instead of three!
7. They make legs look longer. And like you can never be too rich or too thin, your legs can never be long enough!
8. Stiletto heels change the way we walk – shorter steps with an added sway of the hips which makes them more attractive to the opposite sex. The sway also makes women look more feminine.
9. It’s the Sex And The City effect. Carrie and friends are always wearing heels and look how fabulous their lives are. Designer clothes, branded bags and Big bling. So, some stilettos on our feet and some SATC in our lives.
10. Last but not the least, stilettos make us feel good. It’s really as simple as that. Putting on a pair of pointed heels just somehow makes everything right with the world. It adds confidence, it makes us swagger (or sway), and tells the world we’re ready for whatever it can throw our way.

Caution for Stiletto Fashionistas

And yet, a word of caution. Too much of a good thing can easily swing and become not so good for you. Wearing stiletto heels for prolonged periods has been known to cause discomfort for the long-term wearer. How can you improve your stiletto walking? Can you reduce the foot pain of wearing stiletto heels? Keep in mind also that some men are also intimidated by women in stilettos (maybe they know about the dagger origins!), while others may view you ‘easy’ although for the life of us we can’t figure that one out!

But as they say – no pain, no gain. We suggest you kick them off when you can but a little pain is certainly worth the miles longer legs and millions worth of confidence our heels give us. So bring ‘em on and Love Stiletto Heels.
