My 88 year old aunt wore high heel shoes to church the day before she died.

Not only that but articles about High Heeled Shoes don’t use paragraphs (I checked the OP).
Can’t blame this one on the poster...

I only wear high heels on special occasions and church. When I worked, a ‘kitten heel’. I still have pretty feet with no bunions.

Offbeat, but entertaining.

I broke my leg. Got a heel caught in a slate walkway.
And then there was the day I walked out onto a wood deck. The heels got caught and I walked right out of the shoes.
Now (age 70), I wear moccasins, walk flat footed and hold onto railings for dear life.

High heels are overrated.
Achy feet are not sexy !

They are hard on women, generally when I see a woman wearing them, the first thing on my mind is how to get her off her feet.

But if we say (instead) that our back hurts....they run for the oil.
It's complicated!

I have noticed that actress Kristin Kreuk just about always wears boots with around 4 inch heels. They do not look like high heels because the heels are very thick.
I suspect she is not really as tall as she looks.
