Earlier this week I wore my burgundy platform lace-ups Soda Agendas with my jean and got a lot of compliments.

Today I wore my blue suede platform lace-ups Jessica Simpson Riene stilettoes with jeans. No comments. After talking with my pedicurist she said her only thought was "I could never wear those ankle breakers."

It's funny which heels get the most compliments.

I too was introduced to gel insoles very early on. I was given gel pads by a woman who managed an Aldo store in my second week in 4 inch heels. They make a lot of difference.

I visited Bath and Avebury in 2019. After walking through the Bath site we stopped by Avebury and I walked the outer ring/hill around Avebury in 4 inch boots. Although they had block heels is was still not easy, stilettoes would have been impossible.  The chalk ring was hard to walk through with the chalk, stones, and sheep droppings. And it was drizzling.

All I know is say I look at something for Valentine's Day at Victoria's Secret.  All I see is ad from Victoria's Secret.  I just got a top from Express and then I see Express ads.

It's interesting that you kept wearing the heels even if they hurt. That's the difference between us.  When I was in DSW clearance section looking for my first pair of 4 inch heels a woman came over and told me "Life's too short for heels that hurt." A concept that I have always used.  I plan to wear until I'm 99 and then re-evaluate, but I know I don't what sore feet either; been there and don't want it again.

I have both platform and non-platform heels. Platforms are great, I have them from hidden 1/2 inch to 2 inches monsters. But I look for a difference of 4 inches up to 5, I even have the sales people bring out rulers to measure.
