Newsreaders and weather reporters wearing very high heels

Wow.

Each to their own, I have never worn high heels and never will!
Also have bunions , have been told they are hereditary 😳

I wish I still could wear high heels. I used to wear them with no problems when I was younger. It had nothing to do with being subservient to men, I just liked them and thought I looked better in them. A nice dress and flats doesn't look the same somehow. In my opinion of course, other people may think differently.

As male weather presenters have been mentioned, I feel I have to say I do not care for those who wear suits that appear to have shrunk in the wash; too short, too tight and with jackets that don't cover their bottom. George Osborne , not (yet) a weather presenter but one with jobs that are many and varied, is an exponent of this look.
On another point I am surprised by the number of people who go for walks wearing white trainers, which generally appear to be fashion wear. I am not an avid walker but I always wear walking boots or in the summer , walking trainers, which have proper support, for arches and ankles.

After years of wearing flats I realised they have ruined my legs and particularly my ankles. I now wear a medium heels and feel and look better for doing so.

They are 'dressed' for tv. and change into own clothes before heading home

I once read that heels of one and a half inches were better for your back than flats or high heels.🤔

I find when Carol Kirkwood does the weather, all I can think about is what fantastic corsetry she must have. She certainly likes wearing close fitting clothes, and yes she has the figure for it, but it is distracting somewhat...

Especially for the older man, thinking of DP here.🤭

I used to wear high heels all the time because I liked them, I don't think I ever considered news readers or weather presenters as my role models, nor did any of my friends.

I expect that any woman in the public eye wants to look fashionable and presentable. Louise Lear always looks great and she regularly wears a pair of wedge heeled espadrilles.

Thankyou Litterpicker. You put it so well. I fear the clock has gone back as far as gender equality is concerned.

Grammaretto and tanith - I have a similar reaction on the feminist front - I’m not so bothered about the possible physical damage to feet or posture, but I feel as if the women presenting news or the weather are often dressed inappropriately for their role. Looking smart on the same terms as male presenters would usually involve wearing a jacket. If the presenter is going to be viewed full length and chooses to wear a dress or skirt then a low heel may look better than a flat shoe but I can see no reason for spindly heels or a shrink-wrap dress 🫤.

I feel as though the gains made in the 1970s in terms of outward gender equality have been largely lost. Bring back hairy armpits and legs (and other bits!) for those who see no reason to remove what nature has given them 😊. (I do realise this is a lost cause and yes, I do remove my leg hair, though only in the summer, because I’m a pathetic, conformist coward).

Rant over 🙂

I obviously failed to get my points across because ofcourse it's up to anyone to wear what they want but surely if they are in the public eye and thus a role model for viewers, wearing shoes which are detrimental to health should not be encouraged.

Anyway I was pleased to see Louise Lear looking fabulous this evening in wide legged trousers and flat shoes.
Unfortunately she told us that the temperature my way will drop to minus 7C tonight. 😔 🧊 ⛸️ 🥶

Isn’t it entirely up to them?

I have never been able to wear high heels. I bought 2 pairs when I was 18 and had a summer job and spent the next years ricking my ankle tottering around.

At the end of that year I got rid of them. Ever since then I have worn lower heels, never more than 2 inches. I am thankful to think I was so sensible. How many broken and sprained ankles falls etc I have avoided my decision I hate to think.

I now know that I have dyspraxia, sorry a neural disability, but mine was diagnosed int he 1980s, that mean I have poor fine motor control. It is why I trip and fall more than average any way, am not safe on a bicycle and my handwriting is illegible ond, of course is why after a short flirtation with high heels, I dtopped wearing them.

Oh I ve worn white trainers for so long now I d forgotten there were high heels I don’t think my grand girls wear high heels either

I always wore high heels, though the height diminished from my really high ones as I got older. Now I don’t like anything higher than about 2 inches , and trainers are the best for longer walks.

I like to see women in high heels, enhances their legs I think. I always wore heels but not any longer sadly.

Catherine seems to have some kind of all-terrain high heels, impressive.

It was nice to see that Kate had the good taste and propriety to cover hers.

The nude look

Oh no, my eyes. 😱 Once you’ve seen them you can’t un-see them 🤦🏼‍♀️

I think high heels look lovely but I can barely walk in them now. I agree with others who have said about clothes that are too tight. Elizabeth Rizzini today had a lovely pink dress on but I would guess about 2 sizes too small. I don't what the weather is going to be like because all I could think about was how uncomfortable she must be and how I could see the outline of her underwear. Carol Vorderman always wears clothes too small and it actually makes her look uncomfortable too and dare I say it bigger than she is.

How judgemental!

Firstly I think it’s wonderful that so many presenters are well groomed, I don’t want to see newsreaders in trainers or Dr Martens.

Their sartorial presentation is IMO setting a good example.

I’m sure they only slip on the heels for the camera.
