Shoes nowadays are just ridicuolously high. I see women walking on them and it's funny because they look like fearful ballerinas. If I'm going to be walking all stiff like that then I prefer my Vans.

Besides, I have a really bad arthritic toe that can't stand being in heels for too long.

I am on the sales floor of a tobacco shop for at least eight hours a day and then I go to class. Awesomely cute heels just aren't practical in those settings.

I may have pined over my "dressing up" days, but didn't give it much thought until a stylish young lady came to work with us. I noticed how smart her casualness looked, often wearing jeans with classy heels.

One rainy day I tucked into a table by the window at my favorite tea shop, halfway up a steep cobblestone hill in Geneva, and after watching at least a dozen women walk by confidently on spindly stilettos I realized I would either have to conclude that Swiss women were magical creatures or it really as difficult as I was making it out to be to walk in heels.

My problem is, I am klutzy and not only will twist an ankle or slip of a stair, but I will also accidentally scrape or hit my foot on objects all day and scuff the shoes.

A bad pair of shoes can ruin the whole outfit or turn a dull outfit to something nice. I have to change to workwear shoes at work (when going out to the production lines) but I can alternate. So I travel to and from work with heels. I can say that thigts and nylonstockings looks quite ridicilous with workwear shoes.linnea-mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07378511815400433196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319752528366979140.post-62565085840568538102011-11-03T20:47:54.596-07:002011-11-03T20:47:54.596-07:00I looove heels, and wear them often.

Not for heels -- for running. As someone with bad feet, I'd rather wreck them being active than in a pair of pumps. <br /><br />I do own heels, and wear them occasionally, but I have a sartorial preference for the juxtaposition of feminine clothing with decidedly non-feminine shoes.
