  1. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a best or worst reaction - maybe it's both. (I posted something about this many months ago in another thread.)

    Last winter I was in Florida for a short vacation, and while there I did some shopping. In the Florida Mall in Orlando, I found a reasonably well stocked Payless store and I tried on a few pairs of heeled shoes and boots. At home I usually wear black shoes with black trousers, but there I was wearing very light beige slacks. For the first time I thought I'd try a color other than black. I found this pair that fit me perfectly:

    The heel is fairly thin with a sort of square cross section. The heel tip is almost square, slightly narrower side to side than it is from front to back. The description in the Payless online catalog said the heel was 3 1/2", but I measured it at exactly 4" in size 12.

    The Florida Mall is quite large and I spent about two hours that afternoon browsing in my heels. My slacks stopped at a point just at the top of the heel, so I'm sure a number of people had to have noticed them but very few people seemed to react in any way. There were a few exceptions. As I passed a men's wear store, a youngish male clerk turned and stared for a second, then spoke to a colleague, and they both came out of the store and watched me walk down the broad corridor until I was out of sight.

    But the best reaction I got was from a female mall security officer. She was a fairly large young black lady wearing a smart uniform. She walked briskly past in the opposite direction, then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw her do an absolutely classic double-take. She stopped in her tracks, turned around, leaned forward with her hands on her hips and just stared with her mouth wide open! I gave her a huge grin and walked on, leaving her still staring after me.
