I used to date a girl who was 6 foot 1 inch tall and liked to wear 4 inch heels. made kissing her kind of interesting.
(I am 5 foot 11)
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.
Inspiring story, I’m sure that as daunting as the challenge at first seemed, that you were fully committed to climbing that mountain.
