I have a small, wide foot and weak ankles. I could never wear that type of shoe. The only times in the last twenty years that I wore any type of heel at all were at my daughters' weddings. These days I don't go anywhere fancy and spend all my time in my office/sewing room writing or making quilts, so I have no need for heels of any kind. When I do go out (shopping)I wear flat sandals or sneakers.
