Thanks

Ask your doctor about a 12 year old wearing 4" heels first .....

A childs bones are still growing at that age, and wearing heels for most of the day won't be helping her bone structure to grow correctly. I could find a link, but the last time I heard the latest thinking is HH's are better kept for 'special occasions' until she's stopped growing. (As probably you have planned.)

Busted shoes are replacable, but curved spines and 20 year olds with bunnions are not an attractive prospect. I have a GF who spent her late teens in heels, and now can't walk very far. A double 'corrective' bunnion operation only made things worse, sadly. Another GF has had a number of operations on her feet because her toes wouldn't straighten any longer. She struggles to walk far too.


All that said, if you can change a 12 year olds mind about wearing anything, the book you write will earn you millions.
