TIME MAGAZINE: High heels do high heels actually damage the feet? We say DUH.

DUH.  But will we ever give them up?  Like eating carbs and buter-NEVER.  So we'll at least mitigate the damage with Nasa-developed shock-absorbing memory foam used in running and basketball shoes, arch support, thicker more stable heels, and slightly wider dance fit toe beds.  All seamlessly hidden in the design so you're not wearing obviously orthopedic clunkers.
