I think high heels look really stupid, not hot. They also look horribly uncomfortable. You would think that in 2023 we would be way past those outdated and horrible contraptions.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

What’s that sound????
What’s that sound????
I love that sound!
(It’s the sound of my shoes.)
The sound of your footwear is too damn loud.
You've got my vote.
High heels deform feet and cause nothing but issues with anatomy. Why the hell are they still a thing?
Because some women like them.
What I dont get is why cant they make them quiet? Is it by design, a "Hey look at me, Im wearing heels and my ass looks fabulous"? Or is it a technical reason?
I (male) had a pair of dress shoes that sounded a bit like high heels. You notice a lot of dudes turn their heads (or try to be more sneaky about looking) when your shoes make that noise. They were not stoked to see me instead.
I would guess the heel part has to be rigid and usually the surface area is smallish and the bottom surface of the heel probably can't be too squishy either. I am guessing those things make at least the heel part louder. I have never worn them or studied them at length so maybe I am full of it lol. I have had mens dress shoes that were pretty loud too due to stiff materials.
Hard (wood) soles.
Loud shoes save lives!
When I was a teenager our dance team did all our rehearsals on the gym basketball floor. walking across that floor, you could hear every pound in our footstep. That's when I trained myself to walk on my tippy toes. Light & quiet & invisible. I've been walking on my tippy toes for my entire life since then.
high heel shoes? It's impossible to keep that back heel off the floor. Even on tippy toes. yeah those are noisy. I haven't worn high heels in decades. I think they're even out of style. Generation z does not even wear high heels, do they?
Arent the heels just for resting on while standing?
I don't mind high heels, but when they also have a plateu in the front that looks really bad 🤢 For some reason this is often portrayed as erotic or sexy, but IMO the design is like a brick. It's like the wearer taped a brick to their foot. I don't see how that's supposed to look appealing. Also looks like an ankle breaker tbh.
