Reply #25: Makeup's a whole different ball of wax

Since you can get foundation with SPF, it's actually better for your health if you wear it, so that's a very different thing.

It is the ultimate irony with heels that they do make you feel more powerful and stronger when you put them on - even as they are damaging you physically and making you weaker.

I wore them when I was younger fairly regularly for a few years. I have chronic pain from a bunion now, and don't want to deal with being incapacitated, and unable to drive for weeks on end if I get the surgery. Bunions are genetic, but heels accelerate their growth. I regret ever wearing them at all now that I'm in this position.

Any of you folks out there who are still wearing them regularly ... stop. Just stop. Don't make me post a photo of my deformed foot!


Edit: Here, instead of mine, have a gander at Katie Holmes's feet - she's the current poster child for problems with high heels:
