    Cue the lads on here having a chuckle about the female infatuation about shoes.

    Probably shouldn't have said that, but couldn't resist.

        MP may have been trying to point out that the shoes were frankly ridiculous?

          OK, I admit it. I like Posh and Derek. Good luck to 'em I say...

          You need skill and an iron will to wear those shoes all day.

            I read a few years back that she's basically stuck in heels. Decades of constantly wearing high heels have shortened her achilles tendon, so that she can't wear flat shoes anymore - kind of like a positive feedback loop - the more she wears them, the more she has to wear them etc.

            Probably tabloid BS, but makes a good story.

              Or bare feet in that case.

              So how does she mosey around the house before dressing? She must have to walk on tiptoe, or perhaps lope about on all fours like Gollum

              (or can one buy high-heeled slippers? )

                You can get high heeled slippers - well you use to be able to when I was a child in the 80s. My mum had a pair of them so I hunted them out when I was dragged to shoe shops...... Now you can buy them easily on ebay.

                Anyway she should be able to walk normally.

                I know a few people with Achilles injuries where they have ended up with shortened tendons. They have to do stretching exercises given to them by physios.

                  It does happen, I know of a few girls I worked with who found it painful to walk in flats as they had spent so long wearing heels. You have to find a good medium, I do the usual of wearing flats/comfy shoes on the way into work and avoid putting on my heels until I have a meeting.

                    It's not just the shortened tendons, your toes get damaged and mangled from being squished into high fashion shoes for long periods.

                      I call BS. Her job was to dance on a stage.
