	One disadvantage of spike heels that no one has mentioned is
their effect on the average floor. Some heels only have about a square
centimeter's worth of contact with the floor, and the force with which
those tiny heels push on the floor is enormous, even if a small woman
is wearing them. They'll leave little crescent depressions in any
linoleum ever made, and I'm not even sure hardwood floors would be 
safe.
