size really doesn't matter (on shoes)
So, today is an excellent example of why heel height has nothing to do with comfort. I'm breaking in yet another pair of new shoes today (though I bought them in November) with a rather small heel (2") and after my normal amount of walking today, the balls of my feet are already achey. Contrast this with my boots last week with a 3" heel, which were fantastic. No pain or soreness at all. The difference? Today's heels have almost no padding in the soles, whereas the boots do. I thought briefly about putting in the half-soles for a little extra cush this morning, and man am I wishing I had. Still, they look fab on my feet and fill the perfect niche in my wardrobe (sort of a taupe, grey brown for those times when neither black or plain brown shoes work quite right). Just must remember they need a little extra help in the comfort department.
Ah well, the things we do to look fabulous.
