High Heels Are Dangerous

high-heels.jpgWhy we love high heels:

1. They are hot

2. They make your legs look hot

3. They fulfill every girls’ fantasy of being super fabulous, sexy and chic.

Why we hate high heels:

1. OhMyGodTheyHurtSoBad

2. They get caught in cracks, grates and vents.

3. They could get you mugged!

Yes, it’s true – wearing heels (no matter how great) could get you targeted by muggers looking for easy prey. Those people know that a woman in heels is a woman who can’t get away very quickly, which makes you the perfect target.

Are we telling you not to wear heels? Yeah right; that dress isn’t gonna look the same with a pair of Converse. Just be aware of your surroundings, avoid major shopping in stilettos (not that anyone’s feet could survive that, anyway), consider investing in a pair of these, and learn how to turn that shoe into a weapon. Those heels have to hurt.

    whats wrong with whipping off your heels, chasing down the bastard in bare feet and stabbing him to death with your stilleto? It’s self defense, man.

    If you think walking is dangerous, imagine competing in a race wearing stilettos!! European women compete for prize money in races wearing stilettos as you can see on the videos:

    To your first two comments you obviously have not been attacked or you would not make or condone really stupid remarks like that.I had the terrifying experience of being brutally mugged and beaten up by a couple of thugs as I took a short cut one night and yes I was wearing high heels which made it impossible to run from them and that ladies is all we can do in that situation to think about using stilletos as a weapon is total madness and would only get the victim even more badly injured remember that the thugs have no scruples at all about hurting women

    High heels are hot but not worth the run.
