Arno, if you read my posts you will realise that my post never contained 'a superior attitude'

you would also notice that the people i referred to eg my gf and my cousin are the same size but one to me, therefore steeper inclines not an issue.

also jade is a thin girl with what you would call average feet, and her shoes do fit ok. If anyone it is going to be my naturally wider mens feet in a narrow womens shoe having the worse fit.

as said by a few people, it is down to the ability/flexibility of the individual rather than personal inhibited/learnt skills.

as for apologising, i believe that after the storm had passed, explanations had been posted, argument over, as you burst in trying to light the fire about facts already discussed, and without obviously reading the post, i think it would be good for you to apologise, and let the thread continue as we were trying to.

i agree, but some people insist of repeatedly attacking me, when they havent even read the thread or half the argument, and i like anyone have a right to defend myself.

Hi dear friends,
alive and kickin', but still a bit low, as you can understand.
You gals, Lucy and Anne-Louis, thanks for your support.
I will still be with you on this forum, but it will take some time before I can engage myself like earlier. My dear mother takes nearly all my time.
My love to you all, for your concern! :(

Best wishes

genebujold - You claim an abundance of high heels available in wide sizes from Nordstrom’s and other leading stores. I checked Nordstrom’s Web site and found it not to be true. They did have a few wider sizes, mostly for heels under three inches, not for all manufacturers and all styles, never for all sizes in a style, and nothing designated 4A or 3E. I also checked the Web site for Saks Fifth Avenue for designer shoes between $200 and $900 in price. They listed numerous designers but only Stuart Weizman had a few wider sizes, and again not for all sizes in a model. On the Web Fredericks does not have any wider sizes at all and Sexy Shoes shows only one (4212) out of a dozen or more styles they sell. These exceptions just prove the rule that high heels are made only in one width - at least over 95% of the time.

You also expressed your opinion about damage from wearing high heels so I might as well put things in perspective. First of all, foot problems that are attributed to wearing high heels are the same problems that plague runners and are well known to sports medicine specialists. Tendonitis is one of them and it also occurs in ballet dancers. But to include knees, hips and back as being impacted by high heel wear is simply silly. And blaming high heels for osteoarthritis of the knee is dead wrong. When the Harvard study claiming this came out it was obvious that they did not know anything about it for they had exactly zero observations in support of a theory that paid no attention to the skeletal differences between men and women. For a more current medical assessment of high heels, go to:

This should straighten you out about those “false studies” you talk about. Let me make it absolutely clear that I never opined anything about what a person wears: it is their business and theirs alone. Furthermore, it was not my intent to make anyone feel like a schmuck. However, if you find that the shoe fits, don’t hesitate to put it on.

Hi Vanity,

I’m very disappointed to see that your thread has been hijacked in such a way. :(

I do hope that it doesn’t put you off of posting here, as the posts of you and the other ladies here are very much appreciated.

Please guys, try to respect that this is the "For the gals" forum. We don’t want to lose any more ladies from here.

Becky

Well, that's men for you - they have little or no respect for women. If they had then they wouldn't be constantly hijaking our section of the forum

The moderators are equally to blame as well - why don't they do their job properly and delete those posts that are from the guys?

Is it any wonder why there aren't that many girls left or that we don't post too often - you guys are just skulking around like vultures waiting to pounce on your next female pray with your repetitive questions of "what size heels do you wear", "what style shoes do you like".

There are many genuine gentlemen here: Bubba, Firefox, Hoverfly, Trolldeg, Highluc but there arethose that just can't keep away from the girls section.

Is it so difficult for you guys to post in the "For Everyone" section - us girls do look at other sections you know, we don't just stay in the girls section.

So, do us a favour and stop hijaking before there are no gals left :o
