Besides accentuating the calf (which is always visible when women choose to wear high-heels -- you never see them paired with an ankle-length skirt, unless the woman is totally naive about high-heels' intended use), it also re-angles the pelvis as Ladislaus said, all with the aim of being more sensual. Especially as she walks.

It's not attractive to me, because I think the woman is stupid, walking on such stilts in lieu of real practical shoes, and probably worldly, vain, etc. But that's just me :)

They are ridiculously impractical shoes for the women -- vain at best, an occasion of sin at worst. Not practical at all.

I wish I had a nickel for every movie scene where a woman is running for some reason, and has to take off her shoes -- invariably high-heels -- to be able to run at all.
That just shows how they fail as shoes.

Apart from the question of modesty....

these shoes are downright dangerous. Imagine going over on your ankle in them.

Also they throw  the hips  out  and will eventually cause deformity if worn regularly or too often.

Student, these are definitely not childbearing ankles. If you're planning to have a family one day, choose a sensible woman. The person who wears these is definitely not the good Catholic woman you would want for a wife. And you most probably would find her superficial and impractical and eventually a bit of a bore..

I would have liked to have her pins though... without the shoes of course.

Point taken, you're a bit familiar with my studies/practices, and with this in mind I can 't find the wearing of these to be healthy if it misalignes the hips... that'll lead to so many health problems. Thankfully, non of those I find of interest use them! 😉

I understand the reasonings of the other posters, and they are right. But, I do want to emphasize that where I come from girls normally only use them for Sunday or rather special occasions. Growing up I've always seen them as something that adds an extra touch to the festiveness since it's only occasional. And even then it's not always the really big 6" ones.

Thanks, Nadir. This is a consideration that is very relevant and relatable to me and probably makes a bigger impact then the other arguments, as right as they are.

Even men who don't have the perversion of a "foot fetish" should find the pic in the OP as immodest and an occasion to sin.

Yes, those are hooker heels in the picture.  I can't believe anyone would wear those to Church.  

I remember going to Mass with my husband and we saw a couple there.  The young man was holding the baby in the baby carrier and young mother was wearing hooker heels with a decent skirt.

Indeed, they're not intended or designed to have any practical purpose ... only to make women appear more sensual.

Even men who don't have the perversion of a "foot fetish" should find the pic in the OP as immodest and an occasion [of] sin.

Maybe so, but guys like me are so darn dence that nothing would've ever seemed wrong with heels or such unless it's pointed out.... Some of us are just dumber than others...  :-X

The girl on the left  is the standard outfit that the "attracting men means I am pretty" girls under 45 are wearing at my SSPX chapel with prostitute shoes with or without ankle strapping. Those airheads would wear cow chips as hats if the fashion industry pushed the idea.

It is just as hard to move around in those tight dresses as it is in the prostitute shoes.  

LT, while you are right, and the girls (even the married mothers) wear the same thing at my sspx chapel, posting photos of what should not be worn is not good as it can be an occasion of sin for some.  Descriptions are certainly sufficient.  Let's maintain a modicuм of decency on this supposedly Catholic website, eh?
