Sneakers vs High Heels

For Centuries, people from cultures and countries all over the world have been wearing shoes. They are a necessity to our everyday attire, and without them our feet would be in danger of getting hurt, and very dirty. High heels and sneakers help us express our own fashion sense and some provide comfort. Although they bear some superficial similarities, the differences between sneakers and high heels are distinct. It is clear that both kinds of shoes have many similarities as well as differences. They both protect us from injuries and getting dirty. If we didn't wear shoes, our feet would be very dirty, and they would be at risk of getting hurt from sharp objects or broken glass on the ground.

Sneakers for instance, are the most common type of shoe and have hundreds of thousands different styles. They are also more versatile, whereas men and women wear them as opposed to heels which only women wear. The most distinct difference between them though is that sneakers are extremely more comfortable. They are very easy to move and walk in, making it much more comfortable to play sports, hike, run, or even if your just going to the grocery store. Lastly, their casual style allows you to wear them with anything, any time of the year. High Heels on the other hand are the complete opposite. Whereas sneakers are very comfortable, high heels look pretty but are the most painful shoes a woman will ever wear in her life. Not only are they uncomfortable, but they have also been proven to cause prolonged pain and other foot problems if worn for a continuous amount of time. Although, many women only wear heels for special occasions and/or parties. Despite their discomfort, women love to wear high heels to gain sex appeal. Wearing high heels
