I cannot! stand kitten heeled flip flops! Just want to rip ofj the the little heel- what does it do? it's not high enough to make you taller, but it does increase you chance of rolling your ankle. They make an annoying sound- along with the flip flop sound, its accompanied by that annoying clacking sound- not the commanding sound a stilleto makes. For some reason I picture simpering girls to choose this type of footwear, the ones that don't seem to have their own backbone and must rely on someone else for support. Don't ask me why! Funnily enough, I don't find most closed kitten heel shoes/pumps annoying, its just the sandals version.
