Empire State Heels

It’s virtually impossible to find an old, reliable pair of 2” black pumps anymore—no frills, no fluff; just a pointed toe with a conservative heel. I am a slave to fashion and love to see a put together outfit that exudes there was some thought put into the end result. It screams confidence to the beholder. There are certain ensembles—like a gorgeous tailored suit, that just don’t have quite the impact when married with a pair of ballerina flats. I envy women who are courageous enough to step up into those sassy, twenty inch heels that seem to be procreating in all the shoe venues. Secretly, I thank them for taking one for the girls’ team all in the name of fashion. I simply cannot do it anymore. My feet revolt every time I challenge them to the notion. I suppose the only negative comment I have is (unless you’re a professional model), there aren’t a lot of women out there who have mastered the runway stomp when they wear those shoes. Most times, Herman Munster and that clunky walk he had come to mind. But I gotta say, they’re a fashion statement and those Empire State Heels sure do rock the outfits.
