I often hear remarks such as, 'I love your shoes, I used to wear really high shoes like them but I don't any more.' Usually the reasons are such things as change of lifestyle, bringing up a family, advancing years and so on. What is interesting is their perceptions of heel height because when I have been shown some of their shoes they are nearly always much lower. In other words, people's ideas of 'high' vary quite a lot. One thing I've learned from this site and seeing the pictures of my kind of shoe is how high they actually look when being worn, it's something that the mirror can't truly represent. Of course it makes me feel even better about my heels!
Daz, Becky is right, you can't truly know if you can walk easily in very high shoes until you have worn them for hours at a time and on all sorts of surfaces. Your shoe size of course makes a big difference too. As a size 8 I can wear 5 1/2" heels all day long, something a size 5, for example, would find much more of an effort.
