Fun fact: Did you know high heels were first worn by men in the 1600s? Well, thank God I wasn’t born in that era; I can’t imagine what I would look like.
Anyways…let’s dive in!
High heels are fabulous symbols of elegance and power. They’ve been the heroes of countless outfits, lifting spirits and calves to new heights.
In fact, A lot of baddies often put on high heels to lift up their mighty glory the more. The majestic beauty that comes with is just top notch!
But here’s the thing: while they elevate your confidence and majestic aura, they’re secretly plotting to steal your knees!!!
Yes, you heard that right. Those captivating heels are knee thieves in disguise, waiting patiently until you hit your golden years to collect their dues!
Imagine this: You’re 25, fresh out of university , and ready to conquer the world. You’ve gotten a new job, and on your first day, you put on those beautiful heels, killing every step back to back! . You walk into the office like you’re starring in your own movie. Everyone is looking at you, not because you’re late but because those 5-inch heels make you look like you’re floating above the mere mortals below. You feel invincible.
Fast forward 30 years. You’re 55, sitting on the couch, scrolling through Tiktok. You get up to climb the stairs then you hear a creaky sound . “Is that the ceiling ?” you wonder. Nope, it’s your knees, plotting revenge for all those years of abuse. Suddenly, to walk up the stairs in your house. has now become as hard as arsenal winning the Champions League.
So, what’s going on here?
Well, high heels are like the bad boys of shoes, charming but dangerous. They push your body into unnatural positions, putting extra pressure on your knees and causing strain on your joints. And this can eventually lead to osteoarthritis of your knee joints.
Just like how avatar the last air bender disappointed everyone and disappeared when he was needed the most, after decades of distortion, your knees may eventually disappoint you and refuse to cooperate with you when you need them the most.
And let’s not even talk about the foot blisters, ankle sprains, and back pain that come as part of the high-heel package. It’s like you’ve signed up for a lifelong subscription to “Pain Monthly”. Only that you didn’t take time to read the terms and conditions.
Does this mean you should ditch your nice heels forever?
Of course not! Life is too short to deny yourself the joy of trampling over your enemies with those big steppers.
But maybe keep those 6-inch demi gods for special occasions only, like dinner award nights, birthday parties or your ex’s wedding (in case you’re invited).
Don’t put them on for an everyday occasion.
Trust me, your future self will thank you.
In the end, remember: High heels may be your friend as a lady, same as flat shoes. However, some of your friends are backstabbers while some are your saviors. Choose your friends wisely.
