Many women love nothing more than the thrill of putting on a fabulous new pair of shoes, boots, or sandals, and a little pain is not enough to make us give up the amazing looks of some of them. But these 10 shoes go way beyond painful. How will they hurt you? Let us count the ways.
1. The Cork Sandal
Nope, these aren't the cork-heeled platform shoes that you imagine wearing during a carefree summer in Italy. They're made from a bunch of wine bottle corks. If the wine isn't included, it should be, to make wearing them bearable.
2. Off-the-Ankle Shoes
You've heard of footless tights, but footless shoes? Yes michael jordan hats A Startling Fact About Weight (http://www.cqxyzx.cn/bbs/boke.asp?postmanh.showtopic.96472.html), you do have a heel underneath your actual heel, but the ball of your foot is in direct contact with cold, hard reality. While ######y in a slightly twisted way, you'll need someone to throw padded carpet squares in front of you as you walk.
3. Meccano
This is what you'd get if Tim Burton designed shoes with the late Alexander McQueen. The idea of so much as standing in these metal shoes is painful, though on the positive side, they would definitely last a long time.
4. The Claw Shoe
You think throwing a stiletto in a fight is harsh? These knee-high shoes have giant claws for heels. Oh, and there's nothing underneath the ball of your feet except cold, hard sidewalk. Keep these indoors, or better yet, have someone carry you around.
5. Seriously Spiked Heels
The spikes on these shoes are not confined to the heels. Resembling the love child of a psychotic porcupine and an Italian footwear designer, they could cause widespread damage to anything within kicking distance.
6. Toe Shoes for Exotic Dancers
Now you too can experience the excruciatingly accomplished pain that comes from going en pointe. And your local orthopedist can experience the joy of putting his kids through private college once he deals with your poor, doomed ankles.
7. Sky High Red Boots
Shiny red boots are all kinds of awesome, and these look remarkably normal if you ignore the first 12 inches or so from the ground. They're more than shoes: they're a Cirque du Soleil act all in themselves!
8. Swim Flippers... with Heels!
Have you ever tried to walk in a pair of swim flippers? If so, you know that you can't. Add heels and guess what? You still can't walk in them. Though they would be an interesting adjunct to a beauty contest's swimwear competition.
9. The Shoe as Sculpture
OK, These are actually pretty gorgeous. And it looks like you could, perhaps wear them for a brief time. Otherwise, they should probably be kept in a glass case behind a velvet rope, because they're just for show.
10. Banana Peel Shoes
You won't so much slip on these as you will slip out of these. They resemble elf shoes, as envisioned by Timothy Leary. Strangely coveted by the avant-garde, these bright yellow slippers seem to exist only in the magical workshop of Israeli designer Kobi Levi.
On the other hand, I look at all these structured shoes like crutches. Yes, we may need it for a while. But, when we consistently wear them and use them, we can never regain our natural ability to move the way we were originally made to - Pain free NBA Hats (http://www.replicanewerahats.com/category/NBA-Hats), explosive and flexible.A plain simple running shoe that allows your feet to spread out is sufficient and good for any weekend jogger. It also happens to be much easier on the wallet! If you do want a fancier shoe, the Nike Free series would be a good buy because it goes beyond un-restriction of the feet; it mimics the shape of the feet and offers the feet much more control.Ultimately, the injury and pain does not come from the lack of a jazzed up shoe, but rather dysfunctional feet.My Feet / Knee / Shin / Calf hurts because of my Pronation. What do I do now?
I would first make a wild guess that the sole of your shoe is eaten up excessively on one side of the shoe. This could occur on one or both shoes. Do not assume that both feet equally underpronate or overpronate.The first thing to do is to throw away all your shoes that reflect this unevenness. Go buy new pairs of shoes; neutral shoes that do not have excessive support. Have fun shopping, do it with a friend, a spouse or alone!After a while, if you do not buy new pairs of shoes, your recovery will be impeded because you never throw away the “crutch”.The next step is to slowly walk barefooted and as often as possible. You can start with your house, followed by the beach or park. The aim is to re-introduce your 26 foot bones and muscles to the sensation of the natural foot movement. They have been trapped in the shoe for all these years.
