    I have the opposite experience.  There are people like my wife who tolerate the 4" cuban heels on my cowboy boots but she would throw a fit if I wore stilettos, of any height. 

    Too bad, stiletto boots are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Walking is somewhat a function of the type of heel.  I wear such a wide variety of heels. Some of my wedges I can almost  run in, some like my Jessica Simpson stiletto I have to careful where I put my foot down. Don't want to get the heel caught in an expansion joint or the gap getting on and off an elevator. I have to be careful with my platforms and chunky heels I tend to walk slowly. A young woman was kidding me the other day that she could walk much faster than me.

    Going down stairs is the place I would like to use a video to improve my graceful descend (avoid falling). Going down flights of stairs in stilettos is nightmarish, and I have to do this when the elevator is not working.

  3. I like a variety of heel styles.  Today work heels are Freebird Canti's purchase in 2017.  I have two pairs, these brown ones and another one in black.

    I love these chunky style heels, and this sandal has an adjustable toe strap which is great because I have a large toe box.  I had to add an extra hole though.

  4. I wear heels about 10-12 hours a day. At work I spend most of my time standing and walking for 5+ hours each day. I sit and "observe" less than a hour.  3.75 to 4.5 inch difference is comfortable, higher not so much.

  5. Please don't laugh me off this site.  This question came from a non-HHP member, a friend from a former site that some of you know.

    Does anyone know anything about Ballerine flats by Softstar?

    Thanks!

    Again, please don't laugh me off this site

     

     

     

  6. Uneven loading on the heel and torque from changing from gas pedal to brake pedal.  I can feel and see this on some of my heels from driving.  And 99%+ of the time I'm driving in heels.  (Experimental based science.)

    What is unknown is the condition of the shank in the left heels.  Do they show stress or not.

  7. Since my comfortable ratty old wedges (that by all rights should be in the landfill) have been a subject in another thread, I thought I would really show off just how ratty they are. If i had kept track of the "mileage" on these it would be close (if not over) 200 miles.

    Glued the inside many times.  But I can't get rid of them, they just toooooooo comfortable.

    I have another pair still in the box. Maybe I use these once in awhile.
