By training I am more of a biomechanist than fashion designer critic but there is an astounding display of balance and coordination displayed by young Russian women every day here in Москва. I am referring to the exceptionally HIGH heels that can be seen all over the city. They are at least 4 inches (10.16 cm) high and possibly higher. It’s hard to fathom how anyone can walk and sometimes run along all kinds of sidewalk and street surfaces without falling or spraining an ankle.
The heels are so high that the heel bone (calcaneus) is almost directly over the ball of the foot putting the foot into a posture akin to toe-dancing in ballet. Just looking at these young women causes my ankles to buckle and ache. Makes you wonder if heels can go any higher? – Amazing!
Доследующегораза,
Борис
