Because as everyone knows, the whole point of rock climbing and hiking is to look good the entire time. These things are bull.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of and the ugliest shoes I’ve ever seen.
“mcnanuk ” – I’m sad that you know these kinds of women. Neither I, nor any women I know would wear those.

its clearly meant to juxtapose the lack of functionality in normal high heels. its more of a statement than practical, and of course the people who made it know that.

Seriously people – these shoes are wearable. OK they are stretching it a tad to say ‘suitable for mountain climbing’ but then I think that might be a little tongue in cheek.
And frankly, as a heel wearer for 30 years who wears them every day* I really don’t see what the problem is with wearing such things!
* well apart from today as there is heavy snowfall and I’m wearing Doc Martens.

*Not recommended for actual hiking, gardening, mountain climbing, or Phish concerts :)

That’s just sick. I wear heels from time to time, but everyone suggesting they’re comfortable footwear is a liar. They’re not practical, they’re not healthy. You can’t run in them and stones or plain earth on the ground makes them hell. Yes, they look kind of nice but they are a handicap. Suggesting women to buy these stupid things for activties where you actually need to walk safe and use your legs properly is either a very good ironic joke or an insult on women’s intelligence.

High heels are said to be mankind’s second-most destructive invention. The first-most would be the hand gun.

They had to show these shoes in a rugged terrain because they are so dang ugly! If you wore them on the streets you would look ridiculous.

MR.. wrong. I have been wearing high heals since my teens and now am in my mid 30s. If your heals not comfortable you are both buying the wrong brands and the wrong size. I suggest you quit trying to squeeze your feet into a size too small because you are vain or spent the amont of money it costs for well made shoes such as 9 West.
Not only can I run in my heals, I have, several times. I have no leg fatigue at the end of the day because my legs are in shape to wear them.
You do not have my sympathy. Heals are as comfortable as tennis shoes if you learn how to walk in them correctly, aren’t out of shape and aren’t wearing ones too small for your feet.

still,high heel is high heel,no matter how comfort or functional it made…it will make us stiff if we wear it too long,more over if we use it for the extreme activity like hiking…

Gert: So right sweetie!
Like anything else, don’t get them if you are not prepared for them or can’t use them correctly.
Nothing wrong with wearing heels and I do it all the time – those of us who do know how to carry our bodies correctly.

what? no high heeled snowshoes…no high heeled water skis? effing slackers.
I really want to see someone hike in open toed stilettos across terrain that I hike and THEN and only then can you lecture me on “if you are in good shape and they fit right…” from a physics standpoint it’s a terrible idea when it comes to functionality. Good luck in those stillettos in hilly terrain after a three day rain.

Idiocy, sick, ridiculous, absurd!!! Gert your assessment is inane, self satisfied, and pompous. I’ve been wearing EXPENSIVE, well made high heels since I was in my teens (and I’m now in my late 50’s). I’m a runner and in great shape but sorry hon, when your foot is forced into an unnatural position, and believe me 4 inch stilettos are as unnatural as it gets, fatigue, pain and eventually deformity set in. Talk to any chiropodist or orthopedist. Foot deformities such as hammer toes, bunions, mallet toes and metatarsalgia can be caused by heels. Knee problems, urinary stress incontinence, hip and back pain, an Achilles tendon more prone to tearing and injury, and the development and progression of arthritis of the knee can all develop and worsen as a result of wearing high heels. While I love the way good high heels look, common sense should always prevail. Heels are NOT good for women.

The elevated heel is the cause of the uncomfortableness.
