Centsible Shoes was created in 1972 to help women break free from the hobbles of shoes that are not meant for walking. Beautiful shoes should not hurt. Comedian Kathy Griffin once said, "Do you know why men like for their women to wear high heels? Because they don't want their prey to get away."

Who determines fashion? Corsets used to be fashionable but fortunately women changed that. It's time for us to make comfortable shoes fashionable.

"If the heel is continually in a raised position, then it shortens the calf muscle. All the weight is forced on to the metatarsal head and this can cause bunions, corns and calluses; prolonged wear also causes degeneration of joint function," says Dr. Hawkins, a specialist in biomechanics and gait.

Even models have trouble walking in heels. "Wearing high heels makes a woman a little helpless, but the myth persists that women look "sexier" in heels. I've asked before and I'll ask again: Do you really want a lover who is attracted to you because you look helpless?" Nancy Jane Moore.

A study of 3,300 men and women found that nearly 64 percent of older women who reported foot pain regularly wore high heels at some point in their lives. The study did not find a connection between foot pain in men and the shoes they wore. Researchers concluded it was due to men's footwear choice.
