Models Go Trendy On Heely Shoes
Shoes often define a look and women go to great extremes with their shoes to achieve the desired look. For many, the high heel is by far a favourite. Appealing perhaps, it gives an impression of being taller and thus more slender and shapely.
High heels have a tight toe box, causing the foot bones to squeeze together on nerves-causing neuromas. Having an elevated heel causes excess pressure on the ball of the foot. The body weight is no longer dispersed across a spring-like, shock absorbing arch. It is transferred directly unto the bones of the foot, resulting in ball, arch and general foot pain and fatigue.
However, despite the obvious evils of heely shoes, it is trendy, it is the vogue. But this time, not in favour of any season. It is rather one fashion that has come to stay, majorly to push up height for the not-too-talls, yet also patronised by the very-talls. Perhaps, it is all for fashion fantacy.
Some say it keeps them smart and makes for quick movement. Feet themselves, can be an anatomical oddity and ugly shoes often sacrifice aesthetics for podiatric practicality.
For models, fashion comes at the expense of comfort. And guess what? Fashion itself is fickle.
For now, there seems to be far more ugly pairs than pretty ones and that’s just because you need to be trendy.

R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
