“Tyranny of Sky-High Heels is Finally Over”

Women, be prepared to come back down to Earth. According to the New York Post, “the tyranny of sky-high heels is finally over.” Referred to as a mid-heel, two-and-a-half inches seems to be the average height de rigueur. Fashion insiders say it’s a response to a customer’s desire to wear something that they can actually walk in and credit the show “Mad Men” with popularizing “the idea that you don’t need extreme heel height to look like a goddess.”

Scarpasa.com sells shoes in just three varieties: mid-heeled, low-heeled and no-heeled.
