Most women know that there are some aspects of fashion that men just don't get. In this video, New York magazine takes to the streets to ask men what they think of some of this Spring's shoe styles (some of which I don't necessarily "get" either, it has to be said. Yes, Prada, I'm talking about you again...). Warning: some bad language from the gentlemen in this one, mostly when they're told the price of the shoes!
There are a few health/fitness DVDs available at the moment which teaches you how to walk better and wear heels for longer with confidence, and while I was surfing YouTube I came across this clip by podiatrist and fitness expert Emily Splichal. She explains to us the impact of wearing heels on our feet, calves, knees, backs, chest and neck. There are also some handy hints on exercises to do as prevention and exercises to do to release the day long pressure you build up from wearing heels all day.
Every year we hear about girls racing each other in Europe for prize money, but it's not just any race, the girls must wear high heels above a certain height. I've never seen it in action until now. This video is worth watching us because of the determination of the girl in focus as she runs. If you didn't see her feet you could confuse her as a professional runner. Then to prove some are just in it for the fun, check out the girls barely able to go faster than a trot.
Today is the last day for you to get a pair of Onitsuka Tiger trainers in London from their vending machine. In my guise as Brandish Editor I sped off to Newburgh Street yesterday to try it out. Today is the last day the vending machine will be in London before embarking on a UK-wide tour.

"Many shoes are just beautiful, but they are not shoes they're just objects"
In this short video clip, Stefano Ferragamo talks about shoes, how being beautiful in shoes in what women want, and how light heels makes walking even better. It's not the most informative clip, but it's interesting to see the man currently behind Salvatore Ferragamo on camera talking about shoes.
Remember when Skechers were cool? You know, during the days just before Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera took turns to front their advertising campaign. Well if you don't remember, check out this commercial. The clothes and the shoe style's make me laugh - did we really wear those looks and shoes in 1997? Did you wear "the S"?
Check out of the "vintage" Skechers ads staring Aguilera, Ashlee Simpson and even Carrie Underwood here.
