I sympathize with your desire to avoid wearing high heels; they look like
they must be about the most uncomfortable wearing apparel ever invented
(with he possible exception of neckties :-) ). Like neckties, there is no
good reason for requiring them to be worn.

However, I have to admit that, for some unknown reason, I do find them
attractive, if the woman who is wearing them is enough used to them that
she *doesn't wobble*. There is *nothing* attractive about wobbling around.
At least to this man. I hope this helps a little with clearing up the mystery.
