Driving, heels.

pleasers
I usually only drive in flats or bare feet, but I tried driving back from Karrinyup in my Filippo Raphaels today - they're a lot lower than anything else I've got, and I'd tried using toes only on my way out in socks.

Right foot I barely noticed the difference, but lost a lot of finesse on my clutch foot, so I lost that one the second traffic lights I got to. Still less hassle than changing altogether on arrival and departure.

(oh, and lol at current music - totally unplanned! Better not be prophetic :-P )

I kinda prefer driving in heals, makes it easier and hurts my ankles less lol donno, I wear MUCH lower heals though - when I wear them at all!

Well, I'm not even going to try in most of them. Promised J as much given all the stories she used to get from her Dad the anaesthetist; also cf my response to [info]lilysea below.

eek, sounds more like fever combo then just shoes, but yeah :/

Can happen in any shoes I guess, really, but more likely in heals due to lever-action n stuff (if that makes sense to you..)

Driving in heels takes practise. Wear them more often :P

I don't even own any heels, but...

...when I went looking for heels for my Swancon costume, I found some truly beautiful (and very expensive) heels

and the (very upmarket) shop which sold them had an A4 piece of paper at the cash register warning in 12 pt font about the dangers of walking and driving in them, and saying that the store would not be held legally responsible.

Which I thought was unusual. It's an international chain - wonder if they got sued in the US?

Yes, I remember you posting about those.

Curious about the piece of paper - I've never seen its like!

I do know someone who wrote off their car the first time they went out in some new platforms - foot slipped and ran into the back of another vehicle at the lights. Mind you, it was also the first time they'd been out after weeks of being bedridden with glandular fever.

The thought of driving in heels freaks me out. But the thought of driving at all still kinda freaks me out, haha! =op

FYI it can damage the back of your heel on the acceleration pedal. But if you aren't doing it everyday it should be OK!!

Hope to see you out soon so I can oggle you booties !!
