To wear heels or not to wear heels...that is the question !?!

Hey guys its that Saturday so you know what that means time for our fashion talk. I had a bit of a hard time deciding on what I wanted to talk about this week cause there's just so much in fashion to touch on, with tips and do's/don'ts.  Then I thought about My last blog post I spoke on sneakers last week so why not this week talk about dress shoes, ( Well mainly heels sorry guys this week I'm not addressing anything with you fashion wise, but maybe this will help you in the future with your lady ). Heels are just to me & to most men the sexiest thing a woman can wear ( well excluding under garments & being plain ol' naked lol ) they are that thing that turn an outfit from casual to sexy or dressy depending on the type of heel it is.  For example if a woman has on a tee shirt and jeans it's seen as everyday and casual ( laid back ) but if she throws on a pair of heels it can turn that out fit up a whole different level.

Some woman tho I've come to find out do not wear heels at all, they are to scared cause of fear of getting hurt and/or humiliated by tripping/falling. Some don't cause they think they can't learn to walk in them or feel are to heavy for them cause they maybe heavy set or on the thick side, then there is the thought that all heels hurt your feet. Then there's those as I've stated before Lost Fashion Souls that wear  heels that they know damn well they shouldn't be wearing, because they can't walk in them with out stumbling. ( I know, I know y'all probably like Chrissyy you ain't right, but y'all ain't right; fronting like y'all haven't seen it or don't do it yourselves or have friends that do it & you telling her " girl you working them shoes " knowing you lying lol ) Some heels ain't meant for everybody and there all kinds of heel size and style alternatives.

There are all kinda of heels from wedged, platform,  stilettos, kitten, cone, prism, spool ( I bet I named a few you haven't even heard of ha ) but each heel can have a different effect on an outfit. Like I said some men find heels to be the sexiest thing, so ladies,  why not have your man come home to you in nothing but the skin you were born in & a sexy pair of heels ( yeah, I'm a freak AND... Lol )

Wedged heels:

Wedge heels describe heels that run the length of the sole or bottom portion of the shoe in the shape of a wedge. This is different from other heels that only provide a heel that drops down from the heel of the foot and comes to a point. You commonly see wedge heels in summery shoes, with open toes, in slides, or in strappy sandals. Wedge heels are a popular fashion choice, never really going completely out of style. They often provide a bit more stability than the standard heel, because the wedge extends out from the entire sole of the shoe. Instead of having to balance on the point of small heel, the wedge allows you to firmly place your full heel on the ground. If you’re unused to heels, wedge heels can be a good place to start.

Platform heels:

High-heeled footwear (often abbreviated as high heels) is footwear that raises the heel of the wearer's foot higher than the toes. When both the heel and the toes are raised equal amounts, as in a platform shoe, it is usually not considered to be a high heel; tho there are also high-heeled platform shoes (example of this kind of shoe would be the popular shoes of Jeffery Campbell and Christian Louboutin). High heels tend to give the illusion of longer, more slender legs.  Shoes with platforms are definitely more comfortable, they make the arch of the shoe less severe and the platform also makes the heel seem not as high.











Stiletto heels:

They are long, thin and can have height from 2inches to 10 inches. They make the wearer’s legs look more toned, sculpted and makes them look taller.

Those are just a few examples and break down definitions of those most popular heels wore that we seen on a regular.   But here are picture examples of those you might not be to use to seeing:





Kitten Heel

 Cone Heel


 Spool Heel




If you are one of these woman out there that don't wear heels and want to learn start off small and work your way up. Even just  wear them around in the house for practice. If you happen to buy shoes that are leather and a bit tight put rubbing alcohol on a in them and walk around in them they will stretch and expand. There is also the good old trick of stuffing them with news paper, these are all tricks so you can avoid taking them to the shoe maker like I said I know times are hard these days with money.  Another way is but your a shoe a half size bigger and buy Gel inserts or cushions those are a good investment.

Oh and another tip for wearing heels – Look for booties, mary jane styles or anything that straps around your ankle.  The less your foot has to work at keeping the shoe on, the more comfortable it will be.

Sooo... Yeah guys that's my insight on heels and my friendly blogger info. Next time I'll go more in depth about what heels I like and think are stylish but this time was just some informative reading for y'all. Even some encouragement to those who don't wear heels to go head an try and a wake up call to those who think that they can wear these high ass heels ( pardon my language ) that they can't walk in at all to stop it or at least walk around at home to practice before stepping out to the club thinking you bad.

Till next time folks.

Much love <3  Chrissyy
