Is there anyone else that thinks...

...high heels look ridiculous? I personally think they make a woman's foot look ugly. From what I've been told by women, that they're uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous. I can only conclude that those who wear them are yielding to some moronic social pressure.
Does anyone feel the same?

I just felt rather alone in my perception.
...you're not alone. 
Those women I've talked to say otherwise. Maybe they all coincidentally have a balance impairment. My recollection is 7 to 2 against wearing them. One of the two in favor was unable to not walk on her tiptoes due to her continuous wearing of heals. The other 7 females, with whom I have discussed the topic, hate them and won't wear them. There is nothing female about that. I happen to feel a tie of any style looks anywhere between foolish and pompous. I refuse to wear one unless I'm being paid to. I don't own one that I am aware of and haven't worn one in over 10 years. Also, IMHO, they look stupid.
Please, please do not take what you inferred as what I meant. For sure I did not imply a disservice to women. Many folks with all attributes of humanity will take measures to be attractive. My personal preferences should never, either for or against a style, decide what anyone I know should wear. It was my interest just to find out if there were others who also either actively disliked the look of heels or just found them neutral but unappealing. I am warned by my wife from time to time that I need to guard against being disconnected.
I find appealing the saying, "There is no man more free than the one who doesn't give a damn what society thinks of him."
Most people who make choices on style do it based on their own ideas. Please don't feel attacked as I respect everyone's right to make their own choices without consulting me or basing their decisions on my ideas. I do feel that most folks imprint their ideas somewhat unconsciously from advertising and the choices of piers.
Vive la différence
I prefer Holy Priests, but Resto Druids have great AoE heals.
Wait... wut??
Speechless and mystified. 
"heals" is sort of shorthand for the job healer characters do in games like World of Warcraft. Raids are challenging dungeons in which groups of 10 or 25 players work together to defeat large groups of "enemies" and very tough "bosses." The 3 roles in any raid group are tank, damage per second and healer. Tanks have extremely high defensive stats, allowing them to draw the focus of the mobs to them, while the DPS deal high amounts of damage. Healers; well... they keep the players alive. There are several different classes which can be healers, and each class has different talent builds. The examples I used were Holy Priest and Restoration Druid. As oppsed to Shadow Priests and Feral Druids, which are DPS specs.
"Heels" are a component of womens`shoes.
...went on. 
I'm not a player.
I caught that after reading your second. 
...that I'm in the minority. I was just looking for some confirmation that I'm not totally alone in my view.
Thanks the orthopedic enlightenment. I kind of thought as much.
I like boatshoes.
...especially chicken salad.
As I said upthread my style can be summed up in: "There is no man more free than the one who doesn't give a damn what society thinks of him." My feeling is, if you don't like my shoes, you should indulge yourself in not liking my shoes.
some look good and some don't. A lot of them are like clothes, designed to look good on a shelf in the store, not on a human body:
That's not a shoe, it's modern art.
I also find them mostly uncomfortable and dangerous, although if you keep the heel height low and look for wider heels, they can be wearable and even comfortable. A lot depends on the designer and the height.
monocle. The moustache is definitely required,

That said, as far as what I personally like--- High heeled shoes? Dont really care so much either way.
OTOH... black leather boots? Now we're talkin'.
Edited to fix incorrect footwear assertion.
...perspicacious of you.
Like:
Don't care:
Also, FWIW, these never go out of style for either gender IMHO, although they can wreak their own special sort of havoc on one's feet:
But if you like high heeled boots, then you like high heeled shoes, cause boot is a subset of shoe.
You don't like all kinds of high heeled shoes, but you do like some.
I have rainbow converse. My daughter wears them more than I do. 
The shoes that are the shoes and not the boots, though, don't impact my psyche in a noticeable way.
You can get just about anything on a pair of converse, now. Fun.
Not even high heeled.
...are uncomfortable but have some purpose. I just don't get the high heels thing.
the heel is low and wide, and no more uncomfortable than sneakers.
These are what my riding boots look like:
Comfortable as hell to walk in, especially when it's snowy, and great riding boots. (H-D makes shit bikes, but awesome gear)
your username notwithstanding.
...his own.
