Why I stopped wearing high heels and why I'm never going back!

Then it happened — I found the perfect pair. They were jade green, mod style platform wedges. These beautiful works of art were such a refreshing twist on the traditional stiletto and pump. As a studio arts major, I felt a real kinship for anything which took a tradition and turned it on its head and so these shoes coming into my life was kismet. Between the platform and heel, I wobbled my way around on an unstable but impressive 6’3” frame. They were so tall, so hyperbolic, that it seemed like a real statement, a way for me to re-appropriate this tradition in such an unconventional approach that it felt truly mine. And then came the fateful night I almost broke my legs.
