The eternal debate of the women’s fashion police around the world has, and always will be the merits of flats and heels. There are many reasons why these fashion gurus take the position they do with a particular make or style of shoe. Much of it comes down to personal preference and ability to pull off a high heel or a flat. Naturally taller women and fashion critics are drawn to flats while those with shorter stature have a thing for heels. But in reality does it matter? What is the difference between flats and heels?

In reality it does matter, and in many ways flats are far more practical for wearing in any occasion than heels are. The reality is, these days nobody wants to be the girl at the party carrying around her shoes because she can no longer walk in them. For this and the reasons we list below, it is time to convert to the dark side. Time to invest in a pair of flats.

Comfort

Comfort

Compared to high heels, flats win hands down in the contest of comfort. The reality is there is nothing quite as torturous as contorting ones foot into an angled shoe balanced on a half-centimeter tip. The pressure exerted on the foot is unimaginably large, leading to pain, and inevitably that embarrassing moment at the party where you end up carrying your shoes around the room.

 

Duration of Wear

Wearing flats usually means you will be able to stay on your feet longer. For occasions such as work events, or a long day in the office going to meetings, it makes sense to choose a shoe that will allow you to stay standing while wearing it for long periods of time. It also helps wearers avoid that embarrassing moment where they end up carrying their shoes.

 

Ability to Be Agile

They say you never know what life is going to throw at you, and it is true you do not. This often means being able to dodge out of harms way, run quickly to ensure you don’t get a parking ticket, and be able to move quickly in order to scoop your cat up and put her inside. In order to make it happen you more or less require flat shoes.

Ability to be AgileUgg Boots

Ugg boots, brought originally from Australia, have their fans and their detractors. As a shoe ugg boots are a highly useful warm boot good in both warm and cold climates. More importantly the ugg boot is a comfortable shoe that women around the world enjoy wearing. Though some would consign them to the closet on the basis of their aesthetics. But ultimately at the end of the day it is up to the individual.

New Styles

New Styles

As women are increasingly choosing to wear flats for reasons of practicality and comfort, there has been a move towards designing new styles of flats. These new styles are specifically geared towards women who want to be comfortable and stylish at the same time.
