i've heard that toe-walking and other gait deviations are a sign of autism. i walk normally but i always run on the balls of my feet. i'm not autistic so i don't know what that says about me
I don't really understand why the popularity of high heels is so widespread. I get that they create the illusion of longer legs, and that a longer leg to torso ratio is attractive... but that's just it, it's clearly just a simple illusion. Picrel is more 'sexy' to me, and I'm not even into feet. It's associated with balance and flexibility, whereas heels as associated with the opposite.
I believe I may be of service. I'm into feet. The high heel provides a better view of a shapely foot, and also usually displays the toes in an attractive configuration. Naturally I'd prefer a woman to just go barefoot, but high heels are a good second choice.
>In the ninth century, Persian horseback warriors wore an extended heel made up for keeping feet from sliding out of stirrups. This also kept riders still when they needed to stand up and shoot arrows. >Elizabeth Semmelhack, curator for the Bata Shoe Museum, traces the high heel to male horse-riding warriors in the Middle East who used high heels for functionality, because they help hold the rider’s foot in stirrups. She states that the earliest high heel she has seen is depicted on a 9th-century AD ceramic bowl from Persia. >The “rider’s heel”, approximately 1 1⁄2 inches (3.8 cm) high, appeared in Europe around 1600.The leading edge was canted forward to help grip the stirrup, and the trailing edge was canted forward to prevent the elongated heel from catching on underbrush or rock while backing up, such as in on-foot combat. These features are evident today in riding boots, notably cowboy boots.

So these men are presenting themselves by arching their backs, pushing the spine and ass out?

Yes, that is biologically what happens when you wear heels.
What perhaps is hard for you to get is that this effect is not intentional on their part.

I disagree. As if French regency men weren't c**ty. The effect isn't always intentional on the part of women wearing heels.

You disagree with the physics of wearing heels, or you disagree that they were doing it unintentionally?

I disagree that the effect of heels pushing out your chest and ass was always unintentional on the part of men who wore heels, and I disagree that its always intentional on the part of women who wear heels.

Okay, so then the secondary effect that I said was a reason to wear them today was also a reason to wear them after the original purpose of riding with stirrups.
Thank you for once again agreeing with what I originally said.
Often times signs of wealth become fashion, riding horses for fun and hobby was a sign of wealth and thus wearing those kinds of shoes all the time became a way to stuff it to the poor.

And moronic. They ask everyone wearing a baseball cap what team they play for.

what did anon mean by this?
NEETs are more digitigrade with their domestic and sleeping habits. Half of them fantasize being a house pet anyway. Even /soc/ has an adoption agency for them.

Thanks for the insight, anon.
Heels also push the chest and ass out by exaggerating the arch of the spine. It doesnt just make you look taller, it makes a girl present herself.
Heels were initially a man's shoe though.
For riding with stirrups. So both effects desired today were not in the original design.
I don't think these guys are riding horses.

You're wrong. Human females wish they were digitigrades but they are just lame plantigrades.
clever girl
The ideal which women chase and men lust over. Normies are just too stupid to realize it.
you're mentally deranged
Looks more like an ungulate hoof.
What about animals like rabbits and kangaroos? When they're just walking they're plantigrade but switch to digitigrade when running
Humans are calceigrade.
