Christian Louboutin Shoes 001

These Christian Louboutin Shoes are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do.

Unless they're made for looks, and then they might just cripple you.

There are probably a few readers who remember the song that the preceding words parody, but how many remember the totally impractical heels the singer wore? Heels so high they could give the average person nosebleeds, and the FAA had to control coming down from them. Expensive designer Christian Louboutin Rolando 120 black metallic square suede hidden platform pumps  are but a down payment on the money you will likely have to spend to treat the ensuing foot problems later - probably for the rest of your life.

The current-day trend toward expensive Christian Louboutin Banana 140 nude patent leather platform pumps that are made more to impress the eye rather than caress the foot is nothing new. There were the spats of the Roaring Twenties, the pointy-toed Italian Christian Louboutin Shoes of the 50s and 60s, the heels of the Disco Era. They all cost more than a good old pair of loafers and were made to be looked at rather than be walked in.

Let's take a look back to the early 60s, and the point will become crystal clear. There was once a young man named William. During his childhood and youth in a small East Texas farming community he wore sensible Christian Louboutin Shoes made for putting one foot in front of the other many times a day. Back then Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm/6inches Black Leather Platform Pumps were not cheap, but a good pair of dress Christian Louboutin Shoes didn't cost a month's pay. When William attained his majority, he left the farm, and resolved to leave behind everything that reminded him of his rural upbringing. With one of his first paychecks, he bought himself the beginning of a new wardrobe, complete with a pair of shiny, black, pointy-toed Italian Christian Louboutin Shoes. William was a hit with all the ladies, and an object of envy of the guys all togged out in his new Christian Louboutin Shoes. The adoration and adulation made the pinched feeling around his toes a small price to pay. After a few months of discomfort, his feet adjusted, and he stopped noticing the pain.

By the time William reached his mid-twenties, the Italian shoe phase had passed. He joined a commune where moccasins were all the vogue. The first time he wore a pair of Christian Louboutin Daffodil 160mm black ponyskin pumps, he noticed immediately how comfortable his feet felt. He also noticed that he had corns on most of his toes, and his big toes, which were straight in his youth, now faced several degrees away from each other. On both feet he had bunions the size of walnuts. When he left the commune and went to work in an office where regular dress Christian Louboutin Shoes were required, he found he had to buy his Christian Louboutin Shoes a size larger than normal in order to walk without piercing pain. He was faced with having to do this forever, or have an expensive, and painful bunion operation.

To this day, William rues the day he thought Christian Louboutin Daffodil 160 leopard-print calf hair platform pumps were something used to impress others. He can't look at a pair of designer Christian Louboutin Shoes without wincing. Are expensive, designer Christian Louboutin Shoes worth the extra money? Ask William.
