Why do women nearly always wear impractical and noisy shoes? Its either clopping heels or slapping flip flops.

Neither shoe is really suitable for marching round a town all day but they are so popular with women. Why girls, why?

It's whatever matches their dress/skirt/top, deary! ;-)
Reply:I happen to like my flip flops thank you very much. But I don't wear them if I'm going to be running around doing errands. Report It

Reply:Women in the larger cities and/or on the coasts like to look good, and wear heels. The women in the midwest really don't care how they look. This is fortunate for the midwest women since the midwest men don't really care either. That's how it seems to me, living in both places. Report It

Reply:as a women my self, personally i think it makes a women feel classie, dont you think that there is nothing more beatiful then a women with nice legs and stunning high heels!!we dont buy the shoes for the sound we buy for comfort!!
Reply:because it looks good and it attracts men
Reply:Whatever noise it makes is the last of my worries.


If it's designer and matches my outfit i will buy and wear it.
Reply:I don't wear high heels or slapping flip flops because they hurt my feet. I'm going from 6 am till 11 pm at night and those shoes just don't cut it for comfort. My sister on the other hand wears heels all the time and she has to spend a lot of time doing stuff to her feet because it makes them look nasty over time. I like a dressy sneaker for most days and a small 1/2 inch heel for dressier days. If my feet aren't happy I'm a real ***** to be around so I solve that with comfy shoes no matter what the fashion is.
Reply:Flip flops are comfy. My ex-boyfriend says my flip flops make noise so guys will look at me. He is insecure.
Reply:Oh the price of fashion...only the most painful shoes look the best, you should have learned this from a woman in your life by now!
Reply:Oh, flip-flops are great for marchin round town all day, beleive me! They may be noisy, but my feet feel best in them. I find sneakers/ walking shoes really uncomfortable, painful, in fact - must be my feet's fault, most people can't seem to get enough of those - but flip-flops are just fine.





And you know, some high-heels are very, very comfortable for waking too.
Reply:i dont march around wearing heels or flip-flops, i never even wear flip-flops, usually sneakers. and anyway heels have been popular scince the late 1900's some women then wore no other footwear, and they also serve as the first choice for dress shoes, because they look, "more refined" you dont see women wearing combat boots at restaurants do you? but i am not sure about flip-flops, infact, no one is sure what makes something fasionable. maybe fashions are created because people dont want to be left out of the mass majority. maybe we feel we HAVE to wear those shoes because other women are wearing the same thing. and by the way, maybe youd get better answers if you posted this question in the fasion and accesories category where it belongs.
Reply:I often ask myself this question. I find it so difficult to find shoes as they are all impracticle. Narrow pointy toes, heels too high, straps too thin and hardly hold your foot in. I agree with you totally. I would hate to see what state these women's feet will be in in 25 years time. Full of bunions and calouses i think. Your feet are important as if you damage them your whole body is affected, back pain, posture etc.
Reply:I've NEVER worn high heels or flip flops.





High heels damage your feet and are impractible. And they make the wears look real tarts.





Flip flops do not stay on your feet. Flip flop wears do not realise how stupid they look when they are cycling.





Give me a pair of trainers/lace up shoes and I'm happy. Before anyone asks I am a 32 year old female.
Reply:it's so that they ave to grip there toes which tighten's there leg muscles which in turn tenses there buttock's making them wiggle the way that women doo.
Reply:Personally I like to wear comfortable shoes, heels are for when I dress up smart . Foot wear wise I am currently wearing a pair of Merrell sandals securley strapped to my feet, all the openness of flip flops but no clopping and they aren't going to fall off!
Reply:i dont wear high heels or flip flops cos theyre just not comfortable! walking sandals all the way, and in the winter, flat comfy boots.
Reply:I don't use flip flops, they look so lame and cheap. It shouldn't make a noise though, unless your gf walks like a slob. But high heels are sexy, so even if they make noise I wear them:p I let other people bear with the noise of heels:p
Reply:GOOD ANSWER, JONATHAN!!!





we never bother if its clopping or slapping or watever... as long as they go well with the rest of the outfit...
Reply:THEY DO IT FOR BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!


BEAUTY HURTS!!!!!!!!


BUT WE ALL FALL VICTIM TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:because they are cooler than being stuffed into sweaty trainers
Reply:I wear sensible footwear personally. Nothing better than a pair of chunky comfy boots :)
