The high-heeled shoe is a matter of contentious and heated discussion. Shoes in general have typically served as markers of gender, class, race, and ethnicity. No other shoe, however, has gestured toward leisure, sexuality, and sophistication as much as the high-heeled shoe. Fraught with contradiction, heels paradoxically inhibit movement in order to increase it, at least in appearance. Standing in heels, a woman presents herself already half-walking while at the same time reducing the length of her step, fostering the illusion of speed while suggesting an imminent fall.
High heeled footwear raises the heel of the wearer's foot significantly higher than the toes and can be worn without socks. They tend to give the aesthetic illusion of longer, more slender and more toned legs. High-heels come in a wide variety of styles, and the heels are found in many different shapes.
It is just a pair of high heels shoes but it can change entire look, image even the personality of a woman. It gives the touch of feminism and alters your gait. They emphasize the walking gait which basically means your walk becomes far seductive because the height of the heel actually forces your hips to swing a little further to each side as you move. It helps in making the wearer appear taller and the lower leg muscles more defined. It also means that sexy high heels add a sexy wiggle to your walk.
