    • 1971, James Playsted Wood, This little pig: the story of marketing, page 128:
      Spiked heels collapse to heellessness or stretch into knee boots. Nylon stockings become leotard encasements.
    • 1963, Science Digest, volumes 53-54, page 21:
      Even co-eds like to pad around in sneakers, if they are accustomed to low heels, or heellessness. But that's quite a big "if." Remember, your heel tendon shortens with the wearing of higher heels []
