Are French Heels Going?

There is no doubt of the fact that French heels are doomed for street wear, but this does not mean that they will not still be worn indoors. French heels were never really intended for walking, and the wonder is that women of good sense and good taste have for so long been willing to follow the vogtte for high-heeled walking shoes. The French-heeled shoe undoubtedly gained popularity because of the short skirt, and many persons have predicted that the feasible tvalklng shoe would not return to favor until the short skirt had passed out of fashion. But as indications point now skirts are still to be moderately short, and at the same time women are to wear sensible heels.
