I wore heels today. I find them comfortable.

I do forgo the 4"" heels and stick to 3"" (or less) these days. I have high arches and flats are often not comfortable for me.

"When I was seventeen.........It was a very good year....." (song) Anyway, I sure wore a lot of heels when I was younger. Not so much anymore. I don't recall when I stopped wearing higher heels. Could be because of recurring knee problems whenever I wore/wear heels.

I have never worn a heel over 2"". I never dress up to a level where I need to wear heels.

Re: When and why did you stop wearing high heels?

Wore heels most of my professional life without any problems until 2001, when I returned to the clinical side of things and wore New Balance or Rykas. That was my undoing. Within 2.5 years, I had 3 compression fractures in my left foot and then the 3rd metatarsal in that foot fell - badly. That's when I stopped wearing any kind of shoe that wasn't a GOWalk. And, I had just purchased a pair of fantastic heels at Nordstrom, which I've only worn once. Will have surgery on that foot in September...

You should have seen me on Easter Sunday. I wore a 2-piece Misook outfit with Sketcher GOWalks. I know...BAAAAAAAD!

I was about 26, and it was because of my back issues.
