1. Sure, heels look cute on a store shelf, but let's be real, it takes a warrior to wear 'em.
2. For one, we have to deal with trying to look hawt AF, but instead feel like a newborn baby giraffe.
3. This is especially frustrating because it's so hard to find a pair that freakin' fits in the first place.
4. But we're committed, even though the world is full of obstacles.
5. Even mother nature is against us.
6. And don't get us started on that demon spawn called grass.
7. Our own homes are no longer safe with traps waiting to ensnare us at any moment.
8. But still, in the pursuit of fashion, we persevere. Through the pain of smushed toes.
9. And the straps that break literally the day you buy them.
10. Or that infamous ~click-clack~ sound when this ugly metal piece rears its head.
11. The not-so-fashionable holes we get on the knees of our pants from falling.
12. And this! In the name of all that is sexy why?!
13. The ultimate betrayal, when your heel just decides to up and ghost you.
14. Leaving without even bothering to say goodbye.
15. THEN we have our battle wounds to deal with. From skinned heels...
16. ...to feet swollen up like balloons...
17. ...to even the occasional twisted or broken ankle. But we patch ourselves up.
18. And give ourselves some well-deserved pampering. Knowing full well, one day, we will rise — on our heels once more, victorious!
