I’m afraid manufacturers find that those of you who don’t want to hear heels are in the minority. Silent heel tips of vulcanized rubber are actually still available, but seldom used. Why? Probably because the shoes don’t sell, or they get returned. Most women want the attention, and have no use for anything that might suggest the attention does not mean what they want it to mean.
Consider patent mary-janes, the little girl’s iconic first dress shoes. Oh boy! Do they ever get excited to have a pair, and stomp about in them hard enough, one would think, to break their ankles! Think it’s an accident that the heels, though only half an inch high, are made of a hard material that clacks loudly? I sure don’t!
Heels are fetish for lots of people, including a fair number of those who posted comments to this article, and the noise is part of that package. In the UK and Europe, people can get long-wearing hardened steel tips for their heels. But, as two women have already posted to say, it is not just for the long lasting wear that they like them.
I found this article while searching for a source of metal heel tips in the US. A URL, phone #, or shop location would be gratefully received.

I work in a science lab at an ivy league where we work hard to find answers to the most challenging questions facing us. I fail to comprehend why women in my lab have to wear high heels. It is so disturbing. These are usually the women who are struggling with their science. High heels are just a means to compensate for a deep-rooted deficiency. I will never date a girl who wears high heels to a science lab.

The sound is extremely annoying and distracting, and it astounds me that some women wrongly assume it makes them “sexier”. In fact, it causes men (and other women) to look up as they would in response to any loud, irritating sound, such as glass breaking, a horn honking, a drunk person shouting incoherently, or a fire alarm sounding.

It is not only the fact that the sound is annoying and distracting – why do some women assume that merely because they have succeed in causing a man to look at them that they are automatically considered attractive or desirable? In most cases, the wearer of such shoes is an average-looking woman, and her average looks, combined with the thoughtfulness of her making loud, annoying sounds just causes men to rate her as even less attractive and interesting.

I wonder what the response would be if someone carried a compressed air horn with them and blew it every two seconds when they were walking through their office or out in public. For some reason I don’t think it would be “I love the way it causes everyone to look at me, it makes me feel so sexy.”

Stupid women.

My sister she does that a lot around the house it’s very annoying that all I hear when she comes inside. In my opinion women should wear them outside or going somewhere fancy other like wear them at schools, your own house, or u know common sense where think the noise won’t be annoying.

Are woman so desperate for attention that not one responding to this post had the insight or self-awareness to realize that when people look because your heels are loud it is because you are disrupting them and they think you are rude?

I know look because I am embarrassed that women like you are so ignorant and so desperate that when you come clacking along, I actually look up and “bless your heart”. If you’re not from the South, that translates to “God help the hopeless and self-absorbed”.

Kate, I think you should take at look at your own sentence structure and grammar before calling other people out on theirs. I noticed quite a few mistakes in your post. Also, while I agree on some of your points, Eric and the others are entitled to their own opinions. If he finds it obnoxious, that is his opinion and right to find it so.

First off, I want to learn how to make my step quiet cause I am a hard walker in my shoes no matter what. 2nd Paras learn to spell and be grammatically correct, it pained me to read your god awful sentence structure.
Also just because a woman wears heels does not mean she has no self respect, if she wears stripper heels everywhere and dresses like a hooker then it is safe to assume so,you shouldn’t be with a girl like that unless your into that kinda thing.Personally I like the sound as well but only so much. Yes it gives me attention and I feel sexy and feminine that doesn’t make me a zoo animal.
Eric I disagree greatly,the sound isn’t obnoxious, it depends on where you are if you are in the library and someone is trying to run in heels yea that’s obnoxious. Anyone wearing heels doesn’t have to be ashamed of anything,it doesn’t make a women look silly makes her look sexy and confident it’s what heels do. But you know what is obnoxious a man who thinks every woman should stop wearing heels cause it’s an irritating reminder that he’s a dork and can’t get a girlfriend all the girls just parade AROUND him. Quite your bitching and get over yourself troll go to a place where they where nothing but flats.
You know what’s really annoying when people don’t pick up their feet and just shuffle UGH god! you can do that when your old, your young pick up your fuckin feet when you walk.
