My first heels were acquisition from my first wife in about 1977-78. It had (I think) 2 inch heels. Had them till the mid 1990's when they wore out. In 2011, I determine that my numerous ankle injuries was due to men's shoes not fitting my foot shape, so I switched to only women's shoe. No ankle issues since. I Started with mild 1.5 to 2 inch heels. It took a lot of nerve wracking to get over the clicking sound, but now I enjoy it. In February 2015 I had a (medical) need to raise a heel 4 inch, but I couldn't raise just one foot, so I went to DSW and found a pair of 4 inch heels in the clearance area. Put them on and within a minute found my balance and have been high heels since.

Well today just happens to be a stiletto day, knee high suede Jessica Simpson's. ===== Not even one second look at my knee boots. Must be normal now.

At least they were block heels, not stilettos.😀

I walked the Avebury Henge and Stone Circles outer henge in ankle boots back in 2019. I also had a damaged peroneal tendon at the time. It was not fun.

I have only worn women's shoes for 14+ years and high heels for 10+. It's about fit for me. My ankle issues have disappeared since switching. I have gotten over the sound of my heels. In fact, I will sometimes walk harder to make more noise. You got to push the envelope! And I am now known statewide for my heels.

I just ordered these Freebird Detroit in Red Croc. I had hoped to get a size 11, BUT I waited too long, so hopefully a size 10 works. A 40% off Mother's Day sale was my incentive, $275 otherwise.

I need to see an average of 6 stilettos a day for a recession. But we are on the way.

Several (4) more tall stilettos at a meeting today, one with spikes. Only 30 people at the meeting. Been seeing at least 2 tall stilettos every day this week.

I have been seeing more and more heels at work. Mostly 3+inch block heels, but heels none the less.

Women with that size of a foot are most likely tall already and wouldn't want to be taller.

I just returned from our spring state-wide convention in a swanky hotel in southern California. One night, last time we where down here, there was a special Bogadi park zone outside that hotel where the convention was held. And there were several cars parked in it. This Friday I saw 50 to 60 4" stilettoes, at least 30 4" block heels, many many tall wedges. Late teens to old ladies. High heels are not dead in this area. Many more high heels at the convention than in past years. More in Cali World later.

The only comment like that was while I was putting my booties on after going through airport screening. I respond by saying," faster to put my shoes back on" as I zipped both booties on while he was still getting his first shoe on.

I got my first readers about that age. I get a peripheral vision test every 6 months and optic nerve picture every year.

Surly you have seen yourself in sun glasses.

Glaucoma is a global term that refers to eye pressure only. There are many different types of glaucoma. I have the type of glaucoma where my lens covers the drain. It was diagnosis about 30 years ago. I have had 50 laser holes drilled in each eye, and several other things. The last thing they did was shot (laser) certain spots in one eye, and when your body goes to fix it, it also fixes the other eye. Next time they will laser the other eye. i have a pterygium on each eye. One started to grow over my cornea so they took it off by peeling off a layer of the surface of the eye and replace it with lab grown tissue. What a _____ operation. (I'll fill that in 2+ weeks.) And @Shyheels, welcome to the 'club'.
