I never wore really high heels.....like the stilettoes.....but maybe as high as 2 1/2". I'm already 5'7" so I couldn't wear them too high.
I tried on some of my work shoes that I still had a year or so ago and found that I could not walk in them. I packed them up and donated them.....but it was hard to do. I know.....I should be thankful that I
have shoes to wear even if they are "sensible".....and I am thankful for them. But I used to love to get a pedicure and be able to wear the strappy, open-toed cute summer shoes.
Dressing up now has a totally different meaning (and look) to me now.
