So we are returning to the days where the shoes fit the psyche, not the foot.

If so, I'm glad to have one foot in the grave where it doesn't have to deal with such things.

Indeed it was.

I especially like this..

The women's liberation movement initially made inroads into this self-inflicted podomasochism and for a while more sensible low heeled styles were in fashion. Even comfortable sports shoes were worn on the job. These, however, have been in direct conflict with the erotic nature of the foot. "

I see no reason why a woman can't have it both ways. <vbg>

Gee. This explains a lot:

"Yet women continue to get pleasure from wearing shoes that intoxicate the male psyche.
They endure the pain for the satisfaction of being more sexually desirable. "

I always thought they wore those pointed toed, high heeled shoes as a physical, not a sexual, weapon.
