Student Pole
Students on the street - in high
heels
interview by Vivian Chung, staff writer
|
With thousands of different styles of high-heeled shoes, every
female student is sure to have her own favorites. Generally,
HPU women wear mules, boots, platform shoes, and sandals with
one- to three- inch high heels. Kalamalama went to Fort
Street Mall and asked them three simple questions:
Q1: Why are you wearing high heels?
Q2: How do your feet feel?
Q3: If you know that high-heeled shoes
cause major skeletal damage, would you still wear them?

Californian Shedia Nelson, a communication
major: "Well, I don't wear high heels too much. My feet
are comfortable as I just got out of class." Would she
keep wearing them? "In moderation.?

Chikako Fujiwara, a TIM major from Japan:
"Because I am short, I feel comfortable." Would
she stop wearing them because of skeletal damage? "I
never worry about it."

Tahiti: "Because they look nice. They are okay, once
you get used to them." Would you keep wearing them? "Yeah,
because you only live once."

"Because I am short and I like to look tall. My feet
feel good." Would you keep wearing them? "Yes, it
kills to look good."

Kamelia Heydare, a MSIS major from Sweden:
"Because I am not that tall. It depends how high the
heels are. Those really high heels are pain." Would skeletal
damage stop her from wearing them? "Actually, I am aware
of it, but I still do it."

Pani Talebi, a computer information system
major from Iran: "Because it is nice and it shows more
of my feminine body. It's the first time I am wearing them
so high, so it is a little bit hard." Would she keep
wearing them? "No!"
