Why are heels "killer"?

[TrillianAstra]

I wasn't aware they were weapons. Or is it because you'd rather be dead than walk another step after you've worn them for half an hour?

'Cos you can break your neck wearing them.

Cos they hurt like fuck and you will trip and break your neck?

:o

Because the stiletto part could be used to kill someone. Also could kill eyou the wearer.

I love that the first two comments say exactly the same thing!

These could be classed as killer heels [hgrin]

i dunno but i hate the women ooh whitter on about them "ooh my heels got to have heels" as if its a lifestyle choice

Heels are a lifestyle choice, aren't they?

A fairly minor one.

But they're definitely not not a choice.

but they are gone ON avout and it gets on my nerves

"Got to have my heels"

Why, have you worn them so much that your feet have become deformed and you cannot wear flat shoes?

"Got to have my heels"

Such a shame that your self-confidence is lacking without them, maybe you should see a therapist

"Got to have my heels"

Yes, I can see the sniper up on the roof who will shoot you if you leave the house without them.

I think heels are pretty ugly and make legs all weirdly shaped with knees sticking out

Stiletto = knife (used by Italian mafiosi); term adapted by fashion
Thus Killer heels

I thought it was men that they were fatal to..

I love it when women wear crazily high heels in an attempt to look sexy; and they do, when seated.

Then they get up and walk away like this.

Because you knock 'em dead wearing them, perhaps? I always thought that was the connotation.
(A bit afraid of some of the responses on here I must say. heels and flats both have a part in my wardrobe and I don't have particular self-esteem issues. or deformed feet).

It makes boring old walking into an extreme sport

I was making a joke as to how to respond to someone who said they have to wear heels, as if wearing flats was imposible for them! Not for people who just like heels.
