As someone who is short and I mean just barely scratching 5 ft I’m usually the girl who wears nine inch heels and rocks them. Why? It’s simple. I need to wear shoes high enough to match my personality.

That and I’m a sucker for a pair of sky high strappy sandals in my size.  To be perfectly honest, my future husband should probably thank his lucky stars that my feet are so tiny. If my feet had been a size or two bigger I’d literally own thousands of shoes by now. But alas, I am cursed with feet the size of a garden gnome and no one makes gorgeous heels for tiny feet.

Most people just assume I wear my heels to give me a little extra height or because they match my outfit. But one of my best friend is a strange creature who feels the need to question and analyze everything. So one day while we were sipping coffee I get thrown the question “Why do you do it? Why do you torture your feet in those monstrosities?” To be fair I was caught off guard or I would have chucked my coffee across the table at such blasphemous words but instead I answered with the words of Christian Louboutin:

Needless to say my friend was aghast. So aghast it took a full ten minutes before the topic was mentioned again. This time with a timid “So explain your obsession”

In respect of the softer approach I decided to introduce my friend to the world of heels. It started with a quick trip to the local shoe shop and then a quick demonstration of how to pair your shoes and your outfit. Within ten minutes I witnessed the birth of a love affair.

Her eyes sparkled and she walked with a sway in her hips and a confidence that rivaled a run way models. That my dear friends is the magic of a new pair of shoes.

Heels magically cure your insecurities and make you fearless.

After all, how can you be scared of  new heights when you’re wearing the sky scraper…
