多莉·辛格（DollySingh）是一名美國(guó)宇航運(yùn)輸公司的前總監(jiān)。她召集了包括一名火箭科學(xué)家、一名宇航員和一名矯形外科醫(yī)生在內(nèi)的專(zhuān)家團(tuán)隊(duì)，來(lái)協(xié)助她設(shè)計(jì)出這雙高科技塑料制成的終極舒適的高跟鞋。MsSinghmanagedtoconvincethescientiststotackleitasa"seriousengineeringproblem"andtheirfirstpairofstilettoesisduetogoonsaleinafewmonths'time.辛格女士成功說(shuō)服這些科學(xué)家把其當(dāng)成一個(gè)"嚴(yán)肅的工程問(wèn)題"。他們研制出來(lái)的第一款細(xì)高跟鞋將在未來(lái)幾個(gè)月開(kāi)售。Unliketraditionalstilettoes,whicharebasedonametalfootplateandrodforaheel,theThesisCoutureshoesaremadeofhigh-techplasticsandpolymers.與金屬鞋底、鞋跟的傳統(tǒng)高跟鞋不同，這款ThesisCouture高跟鞋是由高科技塑料和高分子聚合物制成的。Designedtodistributethewearer'sbodyweightfromheeltotoe,aerospace-gradefoamsinthesolereducetheimpactofeachsteponthefootbyupto50percent.該設(shè)計(jì)將身體的重量從腳跟分散到腳趾，鞋底運(yùn)用宇航級(jí)別的泡沫減少走路給腳帶來(lái)的一半壓力。Butsuchfunctionalfashiondoescomeataprice–upto￡600apair,tobeprecise.

第一款鞋子的鞋跟有3英寸之高，預(yù)計(jì)在今秋開(kāi)售。MsSinghadmitstheywillnothaveexactlythesamefeelingas"tennisshoes",butbelieveswomenwillfindthemdramaticallymorecomfortable.Shesaid:"It'sreallyimportantforcomfortableandsexytoworktogether."辛格女士承認(rèn)鞋子不可能穿起來(lái)完全像雙"網(wǎng)球鞋"，但女士們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它們好穿得不敢想象。她說(shuō)：“舒適和性感兼得很重要。"

女士們，如果你想有個(gè)男人隨時(shí)為你效勞，那就穿高跟鞋吧。FrenchresearcherNicholasGuéguensaid:‘Women’sshoeheelsizeexertsapowerfulinfluenceonmen’sbehaviour.’

法國(guó)研究員尼古拉斯·蓋根（NicholasGuéguen）說(shuō)，“女性的鞋跟高度對(duì)男性的行為有巨大影響。ProfessorGuéguenfirstshowedthatmenweremuchmorelikelytoagreetofillinaquestionnairewhenstoppedinthestreetbyawomaninheels.Andthehighertheheels,themorewillingthey

蓋根教授首先指出，男性在路上被穿高跟鞋的女性攔下后，他們更可能同意填調(diào)查表；并且鞋跟越高，可能性越大。當(dāng)女性穿平底鞋做這項(xiàng)調(diào)查時(shí)，60名男性中只有25名參與其中。

兩英寸高的鞋跟使得男性更加積極，60名男性中有36名同意回答女性的問(wèn)題。Butwhentheheelsrosetoalmostfourinches,thenumberofmalevolunteersroseto49outof60,orasProfessorGuéguenputit:“Menrespondedmorefavourablytothesurveyrequestassoonasthelengthofherheelsincreased.”但是當(dāng)鞋跟增加到四英寸時(shí)，男性志愿參與人數(shù)增加到49名?；蛟S，如蓋根教授所說(shuō)，“男性同意接受問(wèn)卷調(diào)查的速度隨鞋跟的增高而加快。”

引人關(guān)注的是，鞋子高度對(duì)女性同意接受調(diào)查的幾率毫無(wú)作用。在另一項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)中，如果女性穿高跟鞋，男性幫她拾回手套的可能性是不穿高跟鞋的兩倍。Some56outof60menstoppedorchaseddownafemalewhodroppedaglovewhilewalkingaheadoftheminfour-inchheels.當(dāng)走在前面的女性穿四英寸的高跟鞋時(shí)，60名男性中大約有56名都會(huì)攔住或者去追上丟手套的女性。Theprofessor,fromtheUniversityofSouthBrittany,saidthatmenmayseeofferinghelpasanon-threateningwayofmakingcontactwithanattractivefemale.

這位來(lái)自南布列塔尼大學(xué)（theUniversityofSouthBrittany）的教授說(shuō)，男性把幫助女性視為一種與魅力女性接觸的不錯(cuò)的方法。Hisfinalexperimentinvolvedwatchinghowlongittookmenstandingdrinkinginabartoapproachawomansittingaloneatanearbytable.他最后的一項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)是觀察站在酒吧里喝酒的男性要用多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間去和一位臨桌的獨(dú)身女性搭訕。Awomaninhighheelswaschattedupalmosttwiceasquicklyasoneinsensibleshoes,thejournalArchivesofSexualBehaviorreports.
