Heel Sandals

If high heels were so wonderful, men would be wearing them.

─ Sue Grafton, American Novelist

Sometimes, when I'm alone, I put on six inch heels and wear nothing else and dance around in front of the mirror and do my little stripper dance.

I was the good Bond girl, but I wanted to have the dresses and the high heels. I wanted the funky, sexy name.

I was born in high heels and I've worn them ever since.

Nothing has been invented yet that will do a better job than high heels at making a good pair of legs look great, or great ones look fabulous.

I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.

It is the fragrant lack of practicality that makes high-heeled shoes so fascinating: in terms of static mechanics they induce a sort of insecurity which some find titillating. If a woman wears a high-heeled shoe it changes the apparent musculature of the leg so that you get an effect of twanging sinew, of tension needing to be released. Her bottom sticks out like an offering. At the same time, the lofty perch is an expression of vulnerability, she is effectively hobbled and unable to escape. There is something arousing about this declaration that she is prepared to sacrifice function for form.

No. When I was younger I was a big tomboy. But I have not recently been 'the guy.' I have always been, you know, 'the girl.' I think it is because I wear the Stiletto shoes and the pointy heels and the tighter jeans.

Women's fashion is a subtle form of bondage. It's men's way of binding them. We put them in these tight, high-heeled shoes, we make them wear these tight clothes and we say they look sexy. But they're actually tied up.

I have a high-heel fetish. I love really beautiful women's shoes. To me, it's not weird. I can take it all.
