I don't wear heels much these days, but its not because of pain. I never had real pain when wearing heels, discomfort yes, especially aching in the ball of my foot at the end of the day.
But it was the inconvenience of having to think all the time, plan every move. Like always remembering to keep my balance, hold my ankles stiff to stop wobbling. Or getting in and out of the car, or driving the car. Or coming down stairs, or watching for grilles in the street, or cobblestones. Or getting out of a low chair, never did manage to do that gracefully. Doing everything slowly, not being able to run or even hurry much.
What do you think? Did I give up too soon?
