Wore spikes when young to church or on a date. Wore great nursing shoes (back then not sneakers like today or Dansko) with support hose. Took excellent care of my feet and legs for my work. I have a couple of pairs of 2"-3" heels today but find I am wearing them less and less. I go barefoot in the house except in the winter and use crocs in the yard. I will keep my "pinkies" however. I'm pretty much done with fashion and impressing others. I do like to look nice however... but that doesn't include pain to do it.
