I like your avatar by the way, who makes those shoes? |
Vancouver (Greater/Metro Vancouver) in my eyes, and in the eyes of many, is a fairly large city which operates much like a small town. I would say that wearing heels out would generate mixed reactions depending on which part of the metro area you are in. In the downtown core, I doubt you will generate nothing more than a feel stares when you walk but other than that nobody could care less because they are occupied with more important things - typing on their "blue"berries (i refuse to call them black because they are actually blue now). However, if you move just right past downtown and into the English Bay area, you would probably get some compliments (due to the abundance of the rich in that area). BUT, if you were to do some heeling out in say, Richmond, you would probably attact a large deal of attraction - and I mean HUGE - due to the primary population of asian immigrants and their more traditional views. (FYI, Richmond is where Caucasians are minority by a whole kilometer). As well, Richmond on the weekends is mostly flooded by teenagers due to the sheer energy the small island city has, therefore you might get some name calling (within say, a group of friends), and A LOT of stares. Now, I am just basing this information off my many years of living in the Metro Vancouver area, so I am not actually sure how accurate this is.
My shoes are Enzo Angiolini's, apparently hes some ex-designer for Nine West who went rogue.

Thanks though! I love those heels because they are both my first and because it was a "gift" from my girlfriend!
