Hope you can return to wearing heels occasionally.

But, not wearing heels isn't reason enough to become a stranger to this place.

RIGHT ON!

Because of my health issues I can only wear heels maybe once every 2 or 3 months. I did actually did put on my kneehigh black boots when we went out to eat the other night, but that was only the second or third time this year I've managed heels. But heels or no, yer still welcome around here. I really enjoy this forum and hearing what others have to say.

I've bought some very nice flat boots, and I still like a bit of dressing up!

I just realised nice and flat might not go in the same sentence!

Since then Mrs F and I cycled to our house in South West France, 923 kilometers in total, so there's life in the old legs yet.

I am truly impressed, biking 923 km. (I don't think the US guys realizes that it is almost 560 miles!)
Anyway, missed you at last meeting in London. You could have come also without heels. Looking forward to see you again sometime as I enjoyed both your, and mrs F, company last year. Give my regards to her, ok?

Thanks - we like to think in kilometers - makes it seem faster!
We did it in easy stages, around 80k (50 miles) a day - with a couple of rest days in between and stayed in hotels all the way. Mrs F didn't want to cycle all day without a pool at the end of it. Sensible woman.

A shame about the heels fog, perhaps you can eventually return to some more moderate heels on occasion, but your health is of course most important. I hope I dont ever have to give up heels. I am sure I'll have to eventually, but will enjoy the heck out of them while I can.

I have bunions which seem to run in my family. Although I know my condition preceded my heel wearing (noticed having them since before the age of 10), I realize that my heel wearing is not helping this at all. I do my best to avoid very narrow or overly pointy heels, so perhaps the damage I am causing is slower, but it is still there.

Thanks, I miss the heels sometimes, but I treated myself to some pairs of flat boots a while ago. And I still like to dress up once in a while.
