Who invented high heels?!

The last purchase which I absolutely regret is a pair of formal heels for 50$.
Look incredible but feel horrible.
Understandably so. When you try and squeeze the five inches your toes take into a half an inch of space they are kind of piled on top of each other. Uggh..
Just add your feet suddenly being lifted in that position by three inches and bingo, suddenly walking doesn't come naturally anymore.
For starters they reduce the pace of my walk by one tenths and they make you concentrate on walking like never before.
Then after 2 minutes of walking/standing you experience immense and growing pain in your calf.
Then the back pain starts and obviously your toes used to the five inch space are trying to get used to the excruciating discomfort.
I have used these for precisely 3 occasions before permanently giving up on them.
Predictably, right now I am on a search for new pairs of formal FLAT shoes.
BTW shopping is always a joy.
