High heels. How anyone could wear them is about as mystifying to me as people who step to an open door and jump out of an airplane. I eat lunch in Subway, just about everyday (I love the turkey based cold cuts on 9-grain wheat bread, with pepper-jack cheese, no toast, all the veggies, mayo, mustard, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper - make it a meal with chips and a small drink - why would anyone purchase a medium, or large drink, then sit down to eat their sandwich? - anyway-), and I watch a lot of folks come through the door.
What has caught my eye of late are shoes: mostly women's shoes. The other day a young woman came in wearing the most amazing pair of sun-yellow, elevated high heeled, stilletoes. (And some of the women have amazing shoulder bags (purses?) made of leather with multiple straps, colors, pockets, zippers, and stitch patterns.)
So I went online and googled "high heels" to see if there was anything I might want to sketch -this is one pair.

Great drawing of those shoes! I agree, I don't know how anyone Can wear and walk in those kinds of shoes without killing themselves. I used to wear heels, but no more. They're just too uncomfortable and bad for your feet. I once had on a pair of platform shoes and "skied" down our front walk (while about 8 months pregnant! .... fortunately my sweetie was with me). The memory of it still makes me laugh and it was 35 years ago.
