[–]frostedwaffles 303 points304 points ago

I cringed watching her ankles bend like that every step.

[–]thatwasntveryraven 56 points57 points ago

My ankles feel weak now.

[–]kicklecubicle 23 points24 points ago

Me too, but you're probably also a guy. For this waif of a model it's probably not as sinew-wrenching.

[–]BoringSurprise 29 points30 points ago

can a waif back this up? any time i've bent my ankles like that I have ended up on crutches for weeks

*EDIT Oh god, I can't believe I just actually asked that. "Any hot waif models want to weigh in on what FrostedWaffles said on reddit?

[–]csonnich 22 points23 points ago

I don't know about other waifs, but I am tall and thin and rather waif-ish and have a very large range of motion in most of my joints.

It wouldn't hurt my ankles at all to bend like that -- the problem is usually keeping them stable.

[–]BoringSurprise 12 points13 points ago

hmm, interesting. Hadn't thought of it that way.

[–]kicklecubicle 9 points10 points ago

This seems like an example of your username.

[–]BoringSurprise 8 points9 points ago

most of what I say is.

[–]francisc0121 7 points8 points ago

Slightly overweight dude here, I can do the same thing no problem

[–]miketopia 2 points3 points ago

stipulation: no excess joint laxity or marfanoids allowed....

[–]csonnich 0 points1 point ago

Seems like that's exactly the kind of thing you want in a supermodel...

[–]smoothsensation 6 points7 points ago

what is a waif?

[–]BURN_THE_WITCH 23 points24 points ago

A very thin person. Models are usually waif-ish because they're advertising clothing. It's a pain in the ass to alter clothing for chubbier people because fat grows differently on everyone, so designers avoid the problem by hiring people with minimal fat to deal with.

[–]smoothsensation 17 points18 points ago

Thanks for not being a dick :)

[–]busy_child 0 points1 point ago

I cringed even more from the fall on her knees. I speak from experience that without cushioning your blow with your hands and from heels (I was on skates at the time) results in giant bruises on your knees that will hurt even just by looking at them.

[–]BenCelotil 0 points1 point ago

When I was a kid I had these weird habits of curling my toes up when I'm sitting down, and sometimes when waiting in line somewhere I'd bounce up and down on my feet; not on the balls of my feet, mind, but actually rolling on the sides of my feet with my soles pointed towards each other - stand up with your feet together, now push out slightly with your legs so you're standing on the outer edges of your feet with your soles facing each other.

Come to think of it, I still do those things.

It did save me from ever twisting my ankles on awkward bushwalking trips.

[–]folkloregonian 1 point2 points ago

I broke my foot jumping up from the couch when my foot was asleep about a week ago; I basically accidentally walked how you're describing for a few steps.

I don't think I'm going to try it again.

[–]BenCelotil 1 point2 points ago

If you do a lot of walking on rough terrain, it's good to exercise your ankles.

Start small, with little flexes to the sides, and gradually progress further. When I was young I could practically walk on the tops of my own feet they flexed so far, and could almost walk with them pointed 45 degrees backwards - good for flexing the inner part of the ankle.

[–]vxx 0 points1 point ago

But why should you train that? Your ankles are not made for that and i believe it isn´t good for your bones, and is only possible if you have hypermobility joint.

[–]BenCelotil 0 points1 point ago*

Never strained my ankles bush walking or when playing sports and had an awkward spill, plus it makes it easier to kick someone in the neck with the bony edge of the foot.

[–]Bob06 -1 points0 points ago*

Edit: Not a picture but a .gif for those using Reddit Enhancement. + doesnt work.

[–]forwardroll 11 points12 points ago

Link it correctly if you want those RES upvotes

[–]tellsyouwhyIdownvote 2 points3 points ago

I downvote because I have the enhancement suite and cannot view the .gif.

[–]Bob06 1 point2 points ago

I had a feeling it would get downvoted because of that. I was disappointed when it didnt work as well. I hope youll reconsider and click the link just for the possible laugh. Username is courteous and constructive.

[–]vxx 0 points1 point ago

You have to copy the picture link and not the site link to make it work. Look at forwardrolls post and click "source" It will show you the difference.

Some things that women do I will never understand...

--putting all 5.1 speakers in one corner of the room 'coz it looks "ugly" otherwise

--wearing shoes that are a health and safety hazard

British for "walking".

[–]GeoM56 1 point2 points ago

I'm not British, but you may be right.

[–]mermaidrampage 28 points29 points ago

I'm amazed she made it as far as she did. After those first 2 I'd probably just say "Fuck it! Walking is over-rated!"

ohgodohgod....having sprained both ankles over 10 years ago and still having trouble with them now (and sometimes pain), i feel so bad for her

[–]misterraider 5 points6 points ago

Broke mine three and a half years ago, and it's still swollen.

[–]raoul_llamas_duke 5 points6 points ago

yeah, sprained one of mine on a trampoline 10 years ago and got a lot of scar tissue...every time a tweak it it takes forever to heal

[–]butterbeany 4 points5 points ago

I twisted mine while wearing heels, pretending to be sober, and falling off a curb. The cops who I was trying to act sober for laughed and helped me up. Still hurts.

[–]Tigrissa89 9 points10 points ago

Wow, that was hard to watch...

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

spaghetti legs mean it was a good ride

[–]Piranhapoodle 36 points37 points ago

What kind of sadist designes fucking shoes like that.

[–]smackfairy 12 points13 points ago

Those are pretty standard looking but sometimes the runway shows are that... a show. It's all pretty ridiculous.

Then again, these are easily available for purchase. Lots of them look cool but I can't imagine wearing them!

[–]MrYunioshi 23 points24 points ago

Platform shoes (the ones with a supertall heel and the big platform in the front) are a lot easier to wear when compared to other sorts of heels. Look at a stiletto, those make your feet bend a lot more. Platforms look crazier, but they are a hell of a lot more comfortable.

[–]smackfairy 9 points10 points ago

This is true, they are easier to walk in simply because your foot isn't doing as steep an arch as a pump. There are still some crazy platforms. If you look at the link, they are pretty nuts and can be difficult if you are not used to it. Some of them might as well be a pump!

Looks fucking awesome, though. I myself feel more comfortable with wedges.

[–]kmreid 1 point2 points ago

At least most of those have a wider heel. Stilettos are terrible because your weight isn't distributed evenly through your feet.

[–]Wulfay 8 points9 points ago

Fuck up your back slowly over time! Now only $155.00.

[–]DoctorWSG 5 points6 points ago

I read this in Billy Mays' voice.

I really miss Billy Mays now.

[–]Wulfay 7 points8 points ago

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

but not really :( because he's gone :( RIP.

[–]silentflight 3 points4 points ago

Who the hell would wear shoes like this? Those are strength shoes on crack.

[–]Scoopgoop 5 points6 points ago

I'll tell you, over time Women's shoes have pretty much devolved into hooves.

[–]smackfairy 2 points3 points ago

I kinda wanna try for science. Or see a video of someone walking... it would make you walk really really weird.

[–]Supertrample 1 point2 points ago

I had imagined them walking down a hill, after. Ouch.

[–]smackfairy 0 points1 point ago

I can't even see how that would be possible! Maybe if you bend the knees..

[–]Sleepybutt 1 point2 points ago

Noritaka Tatehana would. Lady Gaga has notoriously worn heelless high heels by that designer. They're ridiculous.

[–]JarasM 6 points7 points ago

Aren't show clothes designed as "one size fits all (models)"? To be fair, I'd walk funny if I were to wear sneakers that didn't fit very well, can't imagine high-heels.

Though I guess I can't really imagine how women walk around even in well-fitted high-heels.

[–]FMWavesOfTheHeart 4 points5 points ago

[–]Piranhapoodle 0 points1 point ago

But models only come in one size, right?

[–]que_chevere 1 point2 points ago

I don't think it's the shoes as much as the floor, which looks pretty damn slippery.

I've been laughing at this all day now. It's 6:54pm.

[–]TheClayroo 2 points3 points ago

I feel as though she's walking on two dislocated ankles and doesn't want to break model-mode.

"First" bike ride of the season? What is that? Are there people that don't ride all year round?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, there are people who live in northern Wisconsin.

[–]melodist365 1 point2 points ago

I live in New England, I know exactly what to wear when I want to ride and it's below freezing and/or snowing.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I know a few people who ride up here in Wisconsin too, but most don't have the skill or means.

[–]parisien96 4 points5 points ago

It is incerdibly ironic that I just rode my bike from downtown (10 km) for the first time this year. I thought that I walked like a douche those five meters from garage to front door. Nope, this.

[–]neren 8 points9 points ago

How is that ironic?

[–]HodorSaidWhat 14 points15 points ago

you know, like rain on your wedding day, or a free ride when you've already paid.

[–]justaredherring 1 point2 points ago

As someone who just made their bike commute home riding directly into the wind (and only my second ride of the season), I agree completely. So wobbly.

[–]Arlinda 1 point2 points ago

I laughed way too hard at this.

[–]SpaghettiWizard 1 point2 points ago

I counted 14. 14 broken ankles.

[–]cheezyguy12 1 point2 points ago

I felt pain when her knees hit the ground

[–]ObliviousIrrelevance 1 point2 points ago

Well, she apparently has no ankles...so give her a break.

[–]bobrossisgod 1 point2 points ago

[–]donnissoph 1 point2 points ago

HOLY SHIT what the hell is wrong with her

[–]brazilliandanny 1 point2 points ago

As someone who tore all the ligaments in their ankle and had to do physical therapy for 6 months this was extremely painful to watch.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Ha only one guy got up to help! HAHA thats sad.

[–]flat5 1 point2 points ago

I don't get it. Did she not even try on the shoes she was about to wear in a show with an audience and cameras rolling?

[–]velvetpuppet 4 points5 points ago

The clothes and accessories models wear tend to be "one size fits all." It's not uncommon for models to have to wear shoes several sizes too big or too small, because there are only a couple of stock sizes on hand.

[–]flat5 -1 points0 points ago

So she knew she couldn't walk in them and still went out there? Still doesn't make sense.

[–]velvetpuppet 2 points3 points ago

It doesn't make sense to you because you don't understand (or know anything about, really) the modeling industry. If these people want to make a living from modeling or have a successful modeling career, they CAN'T just refuse to walk in a show due to issues like shoe size. Models, namely those without an established career, are expendable bodies and as soon as a model is "difficult" (complains about shoe size, etc.), another model is taking their place.

Honestly, this poor girl probably thought that she could walk in the shoes regardless of how ridiculous they were. She made it down the runway, after all; it was walking back that proved to be difficult.

[–]flat5 -2 points-1 points ago*

Oh, well that makes sense now. It was better to make a complete ass of herself and a complete mockery of the footwear and the entire show, than it was to say "I'll fall if I try to walk in these". Also, it was better not to do a dry run to make sure things work before a public performance. Must just have been my ignorance preventing me from seeing that. Thanks!

[–]standrightwalkleft 1 point2 points ago

That's... not how it works. It doesn't make it right, but models are usually just thrown out on the runway with what they're given and expected to make it work.

[–]flat5 -1 points0 points ago

Well, clearly. But when musicians perform, they rehearse, because stuff can go wrong. Public speakers rehearse, because stuff can go wrong. Even for a wedding, there is a rehearsal. This is a public performance with stuff on the line. Exhibit A... stuff can go wrong. People repeating "that's just the way they do it" is no defense against it not making any sense.

[–]AFineWayToDie 0 points1 point ago

She wasn't slipping. She was just dancing to the dubstep they were playing.

That wasn't a very funny comment. I just thought that the top comment would be something about dubstep, and I was surprised that no one has mentioned it.

How about you quit being a bitch and ride your bike year round. This wont happen.
