In order to be objective and overcome one’s conditioning it is sometimes helpful to try to see things as an alien would. What would an alien think to see so many humans balancing on high heels. These shoes hurt the feet and can lead to problems later on and, apart from anything else, are difficult to walk in. The reason so many women wear them is that they feel they make them look more attractive and they are conditioned to accept them from early childhood – I know – I used to wear them too. Are the wearers simple for wearing such daft shoes?
