Female police officers in Italy forced to wear heels

In Italy, the land of fashion and elegance, it’s only natural that public officials want to look good too. And so the Italian police ordered high heeled-shoes for its 14,750 female police officers, who wanted to give their uniform a younger and sexier look.

Cause crime-fighting is hot! This isn’t to say I’m not a fan of heels. Hell, I’m wearing a pair right now. But mandated heels for those who are supposed to be able to protect the public is just…stupid. And apparently they don’t even fit well.

One female inspector told the Italian daily La Stampa that she found the shoes very attractive at first. But when she wore them for the first time to a police party, she “cried with pain,” she said.

I’m sure she’ll get plenty of work done in those.
