They certainly elongate your legs making them look slimmer and engage the muscles so they appear more fit. Your feet apear arched and smaller but more importantly you look taller. They are a feminine staple. I ADORE mine!
Heels instantly take you to the amazonian level if you're lucky! Plus, they change your BMI by adding an extra 2, 3, 4 ... inches, hence your leaner without even hitting the gym, magic.
I love them but they don't always need to be too high. Moderate high heels are perfect. They are very comfortable and automatically help you walk more elegantly.
Let's face it, a lot of fashion has nothing to do with practicality (and in fact is often at odds with it). Heels hurt and are bad for women's backs, plain and simple. Yet another example of the female species (of which I am one) suffering in the name of fashion... find me one woman who doesn't secretly wish she could spend all day in flats and sneakers!
Post by kellyhaha good point.

welll, I'm 4'11" so i wear them for height, and they are just a "girl thing".
We all have different reasons. My reasons for wearing high heels are:
- i like them. they're very cute and stylish
- it makes me a little taller
- sometimes it makes me feel more confident
- like Kymmie said: "poise"
