I am going to start by copy and pasting a conversation on Facbook:
Selfridges and Harrods are 2 of most old fashioned department stores in London-- ironically stocking the 'latest trends' side by side with their ignorant sexist uniform code: women have to wear heels, make up and skirt, men can wear suit and flat shoes--- extreme ignorance !

Matthias Wyckhuys i wouldnt want to wear heels, ill leave that up to that old drag.
Ihtgw Continent Any women that tells u heels r comfortable it's a lie!!! I speak from 1st hand experience --- only if women as a collective will come term to accept the brutal truth abt heels -- heels were an invention of a man to slow down women's movement -- but most don't want to acknowledge this therefore we are stuck in stone ages when the heel is regarded as 'feminine'--- but really it's far from it. it's just pure simple uncomfort!
Italia RoSsi i must contraddict you, lady... i find high heels (till let's say 5) much more confy than flat shoes. Do trust me this is what my feet and back say.. What makes the big difference is the tickness of the heel. I am ready to prove it to you... you should just wear the ones I will suggest..... .. xx
Ihtgw Continent hey Lillia, i believe u!! Ive some training in biomechanics, through that I know a bit of heel can be good for the body. a lift in the inner soles of the feet is good for feet, improves: posture, walking and prevents pronation (collapsing of foot arches) that can lead to back pain.
Ihtgw Continent hahaha this may come as a slight surprise: in my lifetime i must have owned more than 10 pairs of HIGH HEELS --- and i use to wear them very often LOl!!! yess in my teen yrs and early 20s, ive pretty intense experience of wearing many types of heels (all given away now)!. and ur right flat shoes are not good for the feet either --- high heels i still rate them as the most sexist invention, possibly worst than the corset that many women fainted wearing. theres something about high heel thats suggest sex, as soon as a women walks out in a pair of high heels theres a great element of degradation involved--- in days when i use to wear heels i use to get chatted up randomly a lot more often (it was quiet a condemning sensation) then i did when i was wearing trainers. thanks for the thought of suggesting hahaha but NOWAY am i going back to wearing heels wow those days were not good!!!!
