I've been fascinated by how much pain women will willingly suffer in the name of fashion.

It's obvious that they don't like doing it — talk to any woman who wears heels daily and she'll tell you how relieved she feels to walk barefoot, soak her tired soles in a hotwater tub after a long day, and slip into cushy, satin-lined slippers at home.She knows the long-term ramifications of wearing heels, too, yet she powers on.

I'm not one to follow trends, but I'm a big fan of common sense.

A male friend had once reacted to my disgust at a woman hobbling across the street, in obvious pain thanks to her stilettos, "What's wrong with you? Don't you realize that women look more appealing in heels? Their whole swagger changes. Men find it really appealing."

So, on behalf of the entire male community he had pronounced that women prized men's attention over their own comfort.

He might have been right, but I had responded with a big, "Whatever!" since I'd rather have a man fall for my wit than for the way my hips move on a stilted piece of footwear.

A study by the Telegraph released on Tuesday, however, suggests that "men cannot even tell if a woman is wearing high heels when they walk."
