A curious case of heels- High or Flat?





Historically women have fought many battles in the pursuit of fair ground in the man’s world. Some have been altruistic and outright revolutionary, while the others have been far nobler and milder in nature. And then there are some battles that fall in the catch 22 category of ‘What came first- Egg or Chicken?’

It’s almost impossible to come across a woman who has not had tough time juggling her vote of loyalty between a sexy pair of stilettos and the very practical flat bellies, chappals or others in this genre. This epic war has served as the ultimate litmus test for the womankind for generations.  
Yes, the heels are sexy. From Oscars, red carpet events to a casual walk on the road, the world would never be the place it is now had it not been for the existence of this super sensual pair on the horizon.

The detractors have been eager to point out at the serious health and medical hazards related to the device. But, who cares? For us the mind has always been over the matter. Hasn’t it?

Although a much saner voice would point out at the practicality of flat shoes as they can be worn under skirts, trousers or god forsaken any outfit. They are comfortable and especially so on uneven roads and crowded lanes of Indian shores. You can jump, run and hop. Every joy and comfort of a sporty spirit gets rolled in one.

However, they’re not heels. They are practical but, they are not a sexy 6 inch stiletto!  

While the battle continues and further confusion ensues, we leave the final decision with our audience here. But not without an important reminder from the very legendary and iconic figure herself-----

I don’t know who invented the high heel, but all men owe him a lot- Marilyn Monroe
