YESTERDAY IN THE High Court, a woman settled a case with Dublin City Council after falling and breaking her ankle on what she claimed was a piece of broken pavement.
According to the Irish Independent, the judge presiding over the case said that he would be “serving womankind” if he made high heels illegal.
But hold up a second – let’s not go banning high heels without giving them a fair hearing. Here’s a quick weigh up of the pros and cons.
Pros:
They look good
Some shoes are just prettier than other shoes. Sorry, Crocs.
They make you feel fantastic
In the right pair of heels, everyone can strut like Beyoncé. It’s an innate talent that comes out when you slip on a strappy sandal.
And mastering them is a very underrated skill
Just look at these French lads, doing seriously intense choreography in four-inch heels like it ain’t no thing.
Cons:
They hurt
The numb toes. The blisters. The balls of your feet burning like the fires of hell.
They can make you look ridiculous
Wear the wrong pair of heels, and everyone knows about it.
The ever-present danger
Uneven paving? Cobblestones? Might as well just scooch across on your bum.
Now you’ve heard the arguments for and against high heels, we’re putting it to you: Should high heels be banned?
