Don't feel bad, Ste. You're taller than I am (I only see 5'4" but am devoted to shoes with 4" heels, so everyone always thinks I'm 5'8" or taller *snicker* and they don't believe me when I say I'm not!).

5 ft 2 inches here -and I hate being short. Can't reach anything without a stepstool. Everything's built for 5' 6" average. :grumble:

...apparently, says the gay style guy on TV, 2 inch heeled winklepickers are fashionable currently.

Though, why anybody wants to wear shoes that pointy is beyond me.

I'm barely 5'2" in shoes and I don't wear heels.

Got a podiatrist for an older sister... The same sister who wore 4" stilettos most of her teens and early twenties...

Admittedly, my shoes are still more suitable than hers!

Ooooo, not me! Love heels. Love 'em to death. Not so much the really pointy ones, but still love 'em.

Only reason I loved the Barbie doll as a child was because of her shoes. Well, that and back then she drove a smokin' hot Corvette....(granted, it was pink but it still looked like the Mach 5!)

I am with you on that Green. Much more comfortable when standing all day, teaching as well.

That's it, SJ, work it girl! Maybe then they could give you samples of the new stuff that comes out...

Guess I'm still the odd one out (but, somehow, this is not surprising...) *snicker*

You're not the odd one out in my family, RI - I am!

I still remember the day my sister came rushing home from uni after learning something about how to choose good footwear and examined all of our shoes..

She was very upset to realise that her 20 yr old younger sister had unknowingly chosen healthier for the feet footwear than anything her closet could boast!

I loathe heels. If I must wear something, it will be with the lowest heel I can find, preferably without ending up balancing on a pencil eraser.

But then, I never did learn to walk for heels, either. Long, ground-eating strides. I used to do a lot of walking. Only gal in my boot camp company who didn't get blisters.

Then I got a car, and it was like pulling the inflation cord on a life vest....

(Ever since the surgery to put my heel together, my left foot tends to roll a bit leftwards. Not a lot, but my left shoes develop a definite wear pattern after a while. Great excuse to not wear heels.)
