"Zid, why?..." Wha happened
Is that "Why? Why? Oh, God, Why? Oh, the humanity!", Wha happened....???
But getting back on topic...
Sometime back I posted pix of medieval - well, perhaps that should be Renaissance - shoes, called "chopines".
Just to show that painful, dangerous footwear is not limited to the present...
Let me see if I can post some pix of them. Brb...
apparently now you can have implants put into your feet to cushion them if you wear high heels.
Really?
I'm not surprised to learn that Jonesy has a good understanding.
My wife sold high end shoes at Saks for many years. She could tell you some horror stories.
Yikes!! Nugget, that sounds worse than wearing the heels...
My computer locked up - creaky old piece of *!@$##!!
Well, crap... Can't pick up many pix in a hurry; they're all copyrighted.
But here's an excellent link that displays a wide variety of "chopines"...

yes true story it was a news item on this mornings breakfast TV.
Aaaarrrrggghhh.... 
Oh, the humanity.... er... Womanity...
I got an even better link Zid (can someone make this clickable for me)
Dem some ugly feet.
Are you telling me that Oprah has 6 toes? Or is that just a funny shot of her feet?
I admit it...I have a foot thing....and none of those feet do anything for me....
I swear Oprah's feet look just like my mother's. Bunions for days. They're the ugly tootsies in the white sandles.
