Why do women wear high-heel shoes that hurt their feet?

    Not all heels hurt your feet. We wear them for the look.

    It's all about style and almost never about comfort.

      Good points. My wife abandoned wearing high heels altogether when she hit her 40s and even stopped buying them. She reasons that just like you stated, she only wore them for how they looked, and they had ALWAYS hurt her feet, soles, arches, toes, ankles, calves, legs, thighs, butt, and back. She further stated that only young women are willing to put up with all that pain in return for looks, but that at her age, it’s no longer worth it to her. When she did wear high hells heels in her younger years, she not only had to take them off after 20 or 30 minutes, she also had to keep more comfortable shoes on standby to change into once she couldn’t take it any more.

    That is a question that no man will ever be able to answer. I have been asking that for years.

    Well because I used to wear Kiss Army boots that had 8 inch heels I get why they would wear footware with a high heel (it enhances the calves) but I simply cannot not understand why they would wear shoes that hurt their feet. Cheers and happy weekend!

    They are conditioned to think that men believe women in high heels are sexy.

    Some women like the fashion statement. 

    Personally, I dress for comfort.

    I'm with my2cents, but if we choose to wear heels you would do well not to question that so.
