Transcript:
Saleswoman: Nothing symbolizes the power of women to elevate the country's hopes for the new year like THE FIVE-INCH STILETTO PARTY SHOE!! Cathy: I beg your pardon? Saleswoman: The shoe says "We will rise above!" "We can reach new heights!" Every sparkly strappy sky-high shoe......Stands for the kind of soaring ambitions and towering abilities our grandmothers never could have dreamed of! And THAT is what the fabulous, fearless female of 2010 brings to the party!! Cathy: Ouch. Saleswoman: We've come so far, considering we look too hot to walk.

Good grief – and the chiropractors will go insane yet again!

I’m convinced that designers of women’s dress shoes hate women; why else would they make the shoes so ridiculosly uncomfortable?
Stick with sneakers or loafers, ladies..your feet will thank you.

I’m with you funnyfan. I’ll never wear high heels again as long as I live.

I wore flats on my wedding. My daughter (age 2 going on 20) likes heels, but I hope she grows out of it

I think the 2010 shoes should be drawn on a platform base. No one’s feet can wear those ones. I wore high heels at our Xmas party and my WHOLE body ached the next day. Never again.

I love stilettos. I can even run in them. I’m glad they’re back. I had my fun with platforms for the second time in my life when they came back around too. I prefer my sneakers, but there’s nothing sexier than a slim, beautifully shaped shoe on cute feet to make you feel great. And I have no foot problems after all these years. Even just looking at them in their boxes makes me happy.
I do wonder how women of Cathy’s bulid manage those shoes, with all that weight on two tiny stilts, but here she is, with all the high heels in her closet that we’ve seen her buy, and now she’s complaining about them???? She hasn’t even complained about the lazy, sponging inlaws yet!

High heels are a fun once in a while shoe. A friend of mine actually wore flip flops under her wedding gown because no one could see them anyway!

The Chiroprectors won’t be going inscane , they will be going “cha ching” all the way to the bank.

I don’t care for heels. I think I’m tall enough already :)

Finally!! Shoes that won’t kill my feet to wear, nor my back.

My wife wore high heels for years but had to stop when the doc told her they caused her bunions. Now she wears comfortable shoes. Funnyfan928, I’ve been saying that for years. Wear some sensible shoes. They’ll cost less to buy, plus won’t send to to the podiatrist and/or chiropractor.
Also, you’ll notice the saleslady isn’t wearing heels. She knows better.

I can’t believe I’ve actually seen women wearing these nut-shoes.
