Agreed.
Heavier types (M+F) will struggle to get longevity from pencil thin heels. I personally prefer to look at thinner heels - though high is high whatever the heel type - but really thin stiletto's are wholly impractical for anything other than
brief 'outside' use. Holes/cracks in pavements will destroy them in a couple of paces. (I've done it.) Wear from tarmac or stone pavements [lbs per sq/in etc] will wear the heel tips in no time at all. (Done that too.) The only time I could see high stiletto heels being anything close to 'practical' for the heavier framed individual, is if they are worn inside. [Club/home - if a girl, maybe at work too.]
Physic's before aesthetics?
But choose for you? No. Everyone is entitled to make their
own mistakes.
