I can’t decide, flip or flop?

Ask Mitt Romney. He's an expert in that field. ;-)

Well, I was just providing information, not giving my personal preference.

Personally, I think super high heels and any shoes with soles more than an inch and heels more than two inches or so just look pretty silly and awkward.

Not true a 5” heel is very dangerous.One wrong move and you damage/break the ankle.

Even if the shortened tendons made you have to tiptoe in later life, you could at least have the luxury of wearable weaponry. No concealed carry, when you’re wearing them..........

So sorry about the hubby.
