Heels or Flats?

Lately, the heels on stilettos are getting higher and not everybody is enjoying it. Doesn't everybody think that it's a little awkward when a girl is a couple inches taller than her date? This problem can be easily fixed. Wear smaller heels!
   Why do women like heels? First of all, they make everything look better. Legs longer and leaner, and the torso is tucked in and forward making a flatter stomach. Another reason why we love them? It makes us feel powerful and confident.
    But heels aren't always so great. They can cause damage to almost everywhere in your body. The back, legs, feet, and stomach all aren't used to having their center of balance shifted. While only wearing heels on special occasions won't do any harm, wearing them all day a couple of days a week can.
   Also, younger girls are wearing heels, 12-13 year olds at the youngest. Starting this early can cause the same kind of damage to a girl who is still growing.
    If you want to wear heels but don't want to damage your body there are plenty of smaller, safer and more comfortable heels out there. Here are a few good ones.

Pumps:
Black Pumps
These are from H&M. I like them because the heel is not very high and they still have the elegant and classic shape. wear these with dressier clothing, and save them for a night out.

Pastel:
Pastel Wedge
These are from Urban Outfitters. The heel is very low and the shoe is comfortable. I like the unique color pallet on the shoes. Wear these with a white shirt and jeans to keep them casual.

Bootie:
Black Bootie
These are from Urban Outfitters too. These booties come in two different colors, white and black. The lace detail is really nice. Wear these with a blouse to make them dressy or a flowy top and jeans to make them casual.

Wedge:
Wooden Wedge
These are from Urban Outfitters. Although the heel looks high, the slant is not so the shoe should be comfortable. I love the simple design that can go with anything.

Cork:
Cork Wedge
These are from Ash. The heel is a little higher, but the design is simple and made for the shoe to be comfortable. These are also the perfect color to go with everything.

Pattern:
Floral kitten Heel
This shoe is from Urban Outfitters and have the lowest heel out of all these shoes. They make up for it in style. The flowers have a lot of detail and the green on the inside is just the right color. Wear these with jeans and either a white blouse or fitted top to determine whether the look is causal or dressy.

High heels can make an outfit look spectacular and classy. Now with the option of wearing lower heels  you can be stylish and more comfortable.

What do you think?
