Old controversy takes shoes to new heights

Old controversy takes shoes to new heights
Fashion groups in Japan known as the yamanba and amazonesu have developed boots with heels so high you need to climb into them. Atsuzoko footwear,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url], known as "thick-bottomed shoes,[url=http://duveticajacketsonlinejp.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url]," are growing in popularity among Japanese teens,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケットメンズ[/b][/url], and according to some officials,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], wrecking havoc across the island nation. Also called "skyscraper shoes,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url]," atsuzoko shoes were banned by police earlier this year in Osaka for use while driving.
Police determined that the shoes hampered a person's reaction time. Drivers wearing atsuzoko shoes needed at least a second more in applying the brakes than drivers wearing normal shoes. The ban,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenonsalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], however,[url=http://duveticajacketswomenjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], has not discouraged women from wearing the thick-soled shoes. In fact atsuzoko boots are becoming more popular among both sexes throughout Asian countries.
Of course, high heels are neither new nor Japanese. They go back thousands of years. A tomb uncovered by archaeologists in the ancient city of Thebes contained platform shoes with 12-inch heels - a height that even the Japanese yamanba would envy.
Heel height may have reached its peak in 15th-century Italy,[url=http://duveticajacketsshopjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], where aristocratic women wore heels that averaged 18 inches. Of course,[url=http://parajumperslongbear.webmium.com/][b]discount Men And Women Parajumpers Jackets Outlet On Sale 2013[/b][/url], that did not stop Venetian women from wearing them. Nor has it stopped women today if the television series "Sex in the City" and the latest box-office smash "Charlie's Angels" are of any indication.
So what are women thinking? "I wear heels because they make me feel sexy and generally attractive,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url]," says New Yorker Jennifer Hollenstein. Known by many as the "epitome of sexiness,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url]," the high heel modifies a woman's profile to give her that long,[url=http://duveticashop.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], leggy look. Six feet tall without heels, Christi Dixon chooses to wear her heels because "they make the lower part of your leg look shapelier and longer,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url]," which Dixon adds,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], "is a plus for any woman!" An awkward-looking foot is suddenly transformed,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], in heels,[url=http://discountduveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], into an extension of the leg - making one's foot appear smaller, more petite.
And it changes the way women walk: Hip movement is accentuated and gait shortened. Florenz Ziegfeld,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenonsalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], director of the 1920s Ziegfeld Follies,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], auditioned women for his shows by first watching them walk in high heels. "Before I see their faces,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], I want to see how they walk. There's more sex in a walk than in a face or even in a figure."
But don't high heels make it difficult to be taken seriously? Apparently not. "It looks more professional,[url=http://billigeparajumpersjackenoutlet.olimx.com/][b]http://billigeparajumpersjackenoutlet.olimx.com/[/b][/url]," says Boston lawyer Donna Aharonson. Knowing that you are wearing footwear that can seriously injure someone also contributes to this sense of power. Shoes that can double as weapons can make a woman feel in control of any situation."
