Heels were definitely invented by men. Yes, I'll give them the fact that they look cute and give you some height (much need in my case), but gosh darn it, who the heck would invent something so uncomfortable? After about 10 trips either up and down the stairs with bags of clothing for the Marian house and/or to the elevator with the same bags, my feet hurt. : ( And these are my comfy, low heels. Obviously not invented by someone who had to actually wear them.
