12 things men will never understand about wearing high heels
TODAY, WE LEARNED that the PSNI is handing out flip flops to weary women spotted struggling home in high heels after a night out. You just have to give them kudos for this spot-on recognition of women’s needs.
They’re not every woman’s cup of tea, and some people can’t figure out why anyone would wear them at all. But gals who enjoy wearing heels will testify that it’s an emotional rollercoaster. A beautiful, studded, glittery, painful rollercoaster.
Here’s what you need to understand.

Love and appreciation for the person who invented folding flats
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
The pride of wearing heels for the whole night
“I didn’t take my shoes off once” is a phrase often uttered with considerable satisfaction by women who wear heels. Admirable.
The horror of toe numbness
If you can feel any of your toes the day after wearing heels, well done. That’s all we can say.
And knowing that despite everything, you’ll do it all again
Because you love feeling like this:
