Well, let me tell you somethin’ ’bout them high heels and that hot, sticky tar road. You know, the kind that gets all soft and gooey when the sun beats down on it? Yeah, that stuff.
High Heels and Hot Asphalt – A Sticky Situation
I seen it happen, more times than I can count. A gal, all dressed up, lookin’ fancy, click-clackin’ down the road in them high heels. And then, bam! Stuck. Just like that. Them heels sink right down into that tar, and she’s stuck there like a fly in honey.
It ain’t pretty, let me tell ya. First, she tries to pull her foot out, but that just makes it worse. The tar grabs hold tighter, and now she’s wobblin’ around, tryin’ not to fall over. Sometimes, she even loses a heel right there in the road. Then she’s gotta hobble around with one shoe off, lookin’ like a fool.
- Why does this happen? Well, it’s simple. That tar gets hot, real hot, when the sun’s beatin’ down. And when it’s hot, it gets soft and sticky. Them high heels, they got that little pointy bit on the bottom, right? That pointy bit just sinks right into that soft tar, and then it’s stuck good.
- Is it just high heels? Nope. Anything with a small bottom can get stuck. Even them little kid shoes, sometimes. But high heels, they’re the worst. ‘Cause they’re so skinny and pointy, and ’cause gals wear ’em when they’re all dressed up, and they don’t wanna get dirty.
- What can you do if you get stuck? Well, first thing’s first, don’t panic. I know it’s embarrassin’, but panickin’ ain’t gonna help nothin’. Try to wiggle your foot gently, see if you can loosen it up. If that don’t work, you might need to get someone to help you. Maybe they can pry your heel out, or maybe they gotta get a shovel and dig you out.
I remember this one time, saw a gal in these bright red heels, musta been four inches high. She was walkin’ down Main Street, lookin’ all proud, and then thwack! Both heels, stuck solid. She was yellin’ and fussin’, but it didn’t do no good. Took two fellas to get her out, and she still lost one of them heels. Walked home barefoot, she did. Serves her right, I say. Who needs shoes that high, anyhow?
Fashion and the Hot Pavement Problem
Now, I ain’t no fashion expert, but I know what’s practical. And them high heels, they ain’t practical, not on a hot day, anyway. You wear them things, you’re askin’ for trouble. You’re better off wearin’ some good, sturdy shoes, somethin’ that won’t sink into the tar.
I seen some gals try to be all fancy, wearin’ those tall heels even in the summer. They think they look good, but all I see is trouble waitin’ to happen. They wobble around, they can barely walk, and they’re always worried about steppin’ in somethin’. And then, there’s the tar. Always the tar. It’s a mess and high heels and summer heat, well, that ain’t a good mix.
You know, back in my day, we didn’t have these problems. We wore sensible shoes. Shoes that were made for walkin’, not for lookin’ at. We didn’t have all these fancy clothes and all these fancy worries. We just had to worry about gettin’ our work done and keepin’ our families fed.
But these young gals today, they’re all about fashion. They wanna look good, no matter what. And I guess that’s fine, if that’s what they want. But they gotta be careful. They gotta watch out for that hot tar. ‘Cause it’ll get ya, if you ain’t careful. It don’t care if you’re showing off the latest summer high heels, it’ll grab you just the same.
What I’ve Learned About Heels and Asphalt
So, if you’re gonna wear them high heels, be careful. Watch where you’re steppin’. And if it’s a hot day, maybe just stick to the sidewalk. Or better yet, wear some different shoes. Somethin’ that won’t get you stuck in the tar. Trust me, it ain’t worth the hassle. I seen enough gals stuck in the tar to last me a lifetime. And it ain’t a pretty sight, I tell ya. And it don’t matter how good you looked before, getting stuck in hot asphalt ain’t gonna make your everyday wardrobe look better. It just makes you look foolish.
And another thing, them high heels, they ain’t good for your feet. I know a gal who wore ’em all the time, and now her feet are all messed up. Bunions, hammer toes, all kinds of problems. So, even if you don’t get stuck in the tar, them high heels are gonna get ya eventually. Just like that hot asphalt on a summer day, wearin’ those things too much is bound to cause problems. Take it from an old woman who’s seen a thing or two, it’s just not worth it. Stick to somethin’ comfortable, somethin’ that’ll let you walk without wincin’. Your feet will thank you for it later.
