Walk a Mile in Her Shoes
Last week Fort Wayne had an event at Headwaters Park with the Mayor and several other city officials walking a mile in high heeled shoes. The event was sponsored by the Fort Wayne Woman's Bureau and aimed to raise funds and to promote the Bureau's Rape Awareness Program.The unsteady men, who soon realized the danger of grates and sidewalk cracks, participated in the Walk a Mile in her shoes walk.
The bureau used the event to point out that in 2007 85 rapes were reported to the Fort Wayne Police Department. Since they believe that only one in ten rapes are reported that would mean that 800 rapes occurred in Fort Wayne in 2007. They have pledges for $41,000 and expect to collect at least that much and more.
I have heard women say that they like high heels and that they don't hurt their feet. I believe that is a big lie! I used to wear high heels in my younger days and I never spent a comfortable minute while I had them on! In my later years I switched to low heels and comfortable shoes. To me, Comfort is way ahead of looks!
That being said, I hope the Women's bureau raised a lot of money in their efforts to promote rape awareness!

I gave up my high-heeled shoes several years ago -- too hard on the back. I'm with you on the comfort thing!
