Laurie,
Even if all the women start wearing high heels again (I wish...), you can still make a difference by choosing different styles than what is commonly worn.
I think there's always a possibility to be different if you want to. It doesn't have to be in just the height of the heel..
Call me selfish, but I for one, wouldn't mind at all, seeing and meeting more girls like yourself and the other gals on the board here.
