They're not called killer heels for nothing. Pinchy, uncomfortable and, occasionally, downright dangerous but high heels do make women look good.
Researchers at the university of Portsmouth say heels change the way the entire body moves, including the pelvis, hips, legs, knees, feet, and even the shoulders, to emphasise feminity.
According to a study, wearing heels make women appear more attractive—both to men and to other women.
In the study, researchers filmed women walking for four minutes in heels and in flat shoes, then asked men and women to judge them based on attractiveness and femininity. Even though participants couldn't see the women's faces or bodies, they rated women wearing heels as more feminine and attractive than those wearing flats—and, oddly enough, the female judges found women in heels more attractive than men did.
When we slip into high heels, researchers said, the way our bodies move totally changes: our hips swivel and even our shoulders shift differently, emphasizing femininity and giving us a bit more sex appeal.
