  • Being male, I can honestly report that I’ve never worn high heeled shoes (although I wouldn’t mind looking an inch or two taller). I’m sure learning to walk in a pair is as difficult as it appears. But this photo tells of a different experience most of us never consider - walking in spiked heels across a healthy lawn of grass. Yikes! Just look at those mud smeared heels and the souvenir of a patch of Saint Augustine grass that clings to them like a pair of shoes themselves. That small fun detail (if not perhaps agonizing for her) makes all the difference in this image.
