the Shoe Issue

Shoes.

Trendy or Practicality?



Ladies, do you wear shoes because you have to (to protect your feet!), or because it looks good on you?

These days it’s more of a question of style and preference, I think.

Well, I wear shoes because I want to compliment my outfit of the day..and match it with my purse! hehe.

Sometimes I wear really uncomfortable shoes just because they look good! I don't wear shoes because of its practicality. I wear painful shoes all the time! I wear stilettos day in and day out. haha. What can I say, beauty is pain! (Sometimes I even got bunions and blisters on my feet and still force them to walk! And as a result, Radzique has to bear with my complaints all day long! haha. Sometimes I wish high heels are made for men too, so that they'd understand how painful in can be! hehe)



I personally think that shoes should be every woman's number one accessory. It's just such a pleasure when looking down at your feet and seeing something fabulous!

Anyways, do you ladies prefer to wear flat shoes or high heels?




I am a very petite girl. So I would definitely prefer high heeled shoes as it lifts me up a bit and gives me a better posture when I'm walking, despite the undeniable affects to my backbone and posture later on..huhu =P
But without them, I really really feel short and dumpy!! So when I'm in my heels, I feel more confident cuz not only do they elongate my leg, but they also help pull a more polished look and make flattering effect on my calves!



My most favourite black heels of all! It's reaaaallly comfy, I tell you! Seriously! I wear this one practically everywhere!! It's from Eclipse,btw. Oh, and that's my sister's foot over there! hehe =)




Those extra inches make for a sleeker silhouette, and ultimately the long-legged dream is achievable. Don't you like that?? hehe =)



So tell me ladies.. Which one of these (heels or flats) do you think is more preferable to you?



P/S: Mr. Blahnik says, "Shoes should be an investment, as we do spend all day on our feet. So why not add some class too! And you should go as high as you can!”



-both black patent leather shoes are from Bally.




XOXO,

  2. I'm a flip flops/flats girl.But i love heels too.But yang not too high la.3 inchs paling tinggi pun.Saya pakai tengok situasi, keadaan atau occasions.Setiap apa yang kita pakai kena sesuai dengan tempat dan masa.Tak semua situasi, tempat dan masa sesuai pakai heels mahupun flats :)

    For me, i choose trendy AND practical.I wont (or at least i try not to) wear something yang akan beri keburukan kepada tubuh badan pada kemudian hari :)

  6. i like this post, therefore must leave jejak :)

    i am 162cm -- average height for malay women i think. not too tall, not too short. and i love heels. shoes to me is meant to complete the outfit. with the right shoes,it can make or break the whole outfit. my personal fave is kitten heels coz normally they're not that high maybe about 2 inches high. flats/pumps are very comfortable and suitable for certain outfit. i think pumps are cute so i will pumps if i feel cute. but for impact factor -- work AND leisure, i'd dfinitely go for heels. without any shred of doubt :)

    so wanie, with or without bunions : you go girl!

  11. those black patent leather shoes are gorgeous!

    i'd go for flats, only because i'm big-boned and 168cm tall; wearing heels would make me look like a giant! tho i do wear heels occasionally.

    and yes, beauty is pain! (flatties give blisters too u know). hehe.

    anyway, im a loyal silent reader of your blog and your sisters'. loving every entry :)

  13. hi, i'm a mommy of 2 n still choose heels over flats even when i carry my babies around!

    there are comfie heels tho. however out of 10 probably 2 :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. i'm a high heel girl (kita serupaa), hence the name of my blog ;p but ever since being a mommy, i can't go any further than 3 inch heels when i'm wearing my baby. berat woo...campur ngan handbag mau 10kg agaknya muatan tambahan kat bdn ni. maybe when i'm slimmer bole la pakai high heels balik - i realized walking in high heels masa slim n masa tgh tak slim byk beza! masa slim tak cepat penat ponn.. huhuu

  15. i wear heels to work, but not the ones that really high lar.. i prefer flats for weekends..

    there's a saying "you cant make a statement in flats".. i read it somewhere but forgot where huhuhu

    ReplyDelete
  16. hehehee.. =)

    And I'm a true high heel girl!!

    You know what, when I'm in my flats.. friends would say,
    "Wani, u looked weird without ur heels lar"

    n some say..
    "heeee eeeee... awak pakai selipar!?!!"


    n some even say,
    "laaaaaa.. u're actually short ke?? hehe"



    hehe. Fyi, I started to wear heels or sandals since I'm 14! I just cant let myself wear sneakers! =P

    Ughh. Don't even have one, until im 18..tu pun sbb kena masuk matric n kena paksa bersukan.. hehe..

    Oh, n i used to kena buli by a bunch of idiotas who said heels werent the 'in thing' n that having a pair of trainers was cool.haha.


    but i just dont care. cuz i love what i love. hehe
    =)

  17. I think it has to be both. For office wear & to match with baju kurung/evening wear I'll go for heels. But flat shoes are practical if you go out for outdoor activities (tak mau la heels terbenam kat padang rumput etc). And I don't wear heels when I'm on the run with public transports. Sakit kaki wooo :)

  18. I've been a silent reader of yr blog and yr sisters' for quite a while now. I really don't understand how u all could wear heels alllll day long. I personally cannot tahan to where heels as i ni jenis senang sakit kaki. Jeles of you guys lah! I wear crocs. It's so comfy!

    ReplyDelete
  19. crocs for work, shopping or window shopping, masuk bendang, kebun bla bla bla...

    believe it or not, I've got only one shoe..no slippers or anything else!

    I rely 100% on my precious crocs!

    *grin*

  20. you petite tapi ada gak size for you kan. best. i tak boleh nak sukakan kasut la because susah sgt2 nak cari kasut. me size 3 or 34. mana kedai ada size ni. vincci & charles & keith je ada so far, itu pun bukan semua kasut.

    tp i suka lagi flat shoes. jln tak sakit.

  21. since i am mostly on my feet all day long, i pick out flats rather than high heels. apart from standing long hours, since my job needs me running everywhere in haste in case of emergencies, flats definitely is the sensible choice. i used to be a high heel kind of girl too back in college, that on my day one at work, i was determined to keep to my usual. i turned up in 4 inch heels, but that day was horrendous. i could hardly walk the minute i was home. so the next days, my heels are all in the cupboards, and has remained there eversince. sigh.

  25. hey schaz,

    been stalking ur blog for awhile, ni la baru nak memunculkan diri uhuhu :P

    i love high heels myself! cant wear that much anyhow.. because my parents are docs and they insist that high heels can kill me. wtf right? haha takpe still i wear em once in a while - when i really need to look fab. all my shoes has heels la of course, the only flats i have is the pair of crocs i bawak gi pantai je..

    guess we can strike a high 5 la kot on high heels. cheers for the stiletto girls :D

    btw i love ur eclipse heels. lama nye collection ke?
