They're what I call stripper shoes... yet they're super popular now.

I don't understand the draw of dressing like a stripper, yet more and more women do that these days, it seems. I commute to work and I see women walking to the subway in them... how is that even possible?

I wear crocs, boots (men's if I can find my size) and tennis shoes. Give me more than an inch heel and I'd fall over and my feet would tell me to take a hike (sorry for the bad pun).
