Yijun Liao Stills from thevideo: Walking in my shoes Length: 2 mins 13 secs

I almost never wear high heeled shoes, because they are uncomfortable. I am always amazed to see other women walking in their high heeled shoes all day long. I’m intrigued by how women can support their whole body weight on such thin and tiny heels, and be able to balance themselves and walk with elegance. I’m also interested in how women wearing high heels is viewed as being sexy in our society, and how it becomes a visual pleasure for men. I want to further test the mystery of attractiveness of high heeled shoes. I imagined myself wearing a pair of high heeled shoes with soft penes and testicles as the heels, would I be able to balance and walk? Would I be viewed as sexy walking in them? Does the fact that I’m walking on soft penes turn men down, or does it even increase their interest?
So I made myself a pair of high heels with heels shaped like my boyfriend’s penis. The heels are printed from 3D printer with soft rubber-like material. In order to walk on these soft high heels, I need to balance myself every step I made. I put most of my weight on my toes and managed to finish the walk.
