  1. I don't think it would be too difficult at all, as long as the chunky heel is the same height, and the shape matches up to the shoe properly. A wood heel could be used and shaped to match, then covered with vinyl or leather to match the shoe. It could even be painted to match (if done properly, of course). Any competent shoe repair shop should be able to do it, and would have access to many differnt shape and sizes of replacement heels.

    Ditto. I've replaced heels on three pairs of shoes/boots myself and it's not a difficult thing to do if you take a shoe to the shop to choose a matching heel. It's better to take both; one with the original heel, other with the heel removed.

    Shafted - you may be right... but not in every case. I've swapped 3" stilletto heels on a pair of Clarks boots for block/cowboy ones, and happily wore the pair :). I don't know how it's done on higher heels or on other brands of footwear, though.

    BTW. as for making new heels out of wood, it's a nice idea. I'll certainly try that :).

  2. Small, compact and not bad for a congested city. Nevertheless, I'd prefer a car-go bike :)

    By the way, I want to move to Amsterdam partly because of the way local transport is done. Apart from regular bikes, you have a whole lot of bakfietsen around and I'm jealous because I've seen just two (!) in Lodz, the third largest city in Poland. Here, regular cycling needs advocacy, and transporting freight by bike remains totally unknown. There are a lot of self-employed men who hire cycle rickshaws and carry people, though. Visit http://lodzcyclechic.blogspot.com if interested - there's a few photos of cycling girls in heels :).
