Recently a woman successfully sued a footwear manufacturer for damages. She was wearing her new pair of high glamour shoes and the heel snapped off. This led to her losing her balance and breaking her ankle. The brake was so severe she needed surgery and metal pins were placed in her bones, ruining a budding sporting career. The shoe manufacturer admitted negligence claiming that the line of shoes were faulty.
As you may or may not know, I am myself a wearer of the high heels. One thing that I do worry about whilst out prancing about is the snapping of the heel. I go for a very high heel and the distance to fall is rather large and could lead to injury. I have spent a lot of time in A&E over the years but not in drag – now that would be unpleasant with the drunks and nutters.
What would one do if the heel did snap? Hobble about that’s what, and frankly look ridiculous. A lot of the larger size tranny shoes are highly priced and very shoddily made. This can lead to unstable mincing. The very bottoms of the heels are made out of cheap plastic and wear down rapidly and the heel bends threateningly. I often feel like an elephant stood on a pin.
I want to sue shoe manufacturers for sexual discrimination. Their sizes are too gender specific. Any normal ladies shoe maker will only go up to size 8, while I need a size 11, so what good is this to me? This means that I have to buy from specialist retailers, often overpriced and badly made. They also tend to be fetish shoes so they are only available with ridiculously high heels and in cheap looking pvc.
All I really really want are a decent and fashionable pair of high heels. Is this too much for a man to ask for?
