So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Ooh, Aimee I love those.

I never think of you as that wee, Kristin.

I think I was more wee before I started eating Mexican food all of the time.

Those shoes remind me of a question I had about wearing high (or high-ish) heels: do high heels hurt to walk in for more than 15 minutes for everyone, or am I an enormous wuss? Because that's the main reason I don't wear heels.

Totally depends on the heels, Jilli. I very rarely wear shoes that hurt me.

ETA: Totally not a wuss.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I wear high heels only for special occasions for that very reason, Jilli.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

If you are a wuss, then I am one, too. I have a hard time finding comfortable heels.

I have a hard time finding shoes that fit period. Weird feet.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

do high heels hurt to walk in for more than 15 minutes for everyone

I can manage up to a 3" heel for several hours, including lots of walking, provided the heel is sturdy and the shoe itself has good insole support. juliana gave me a pair of boots with very thick, chunky 3" heels, and they're so beautifully made that I don't notice the heel at all until the end of the day when I take them off and suddenly everything around me is huge.

3" skinny heels or strappy sandallike shoes with no arch support, nope. 3 1/2" heels - ten minutes does me in, no matter how well-made and gentle the shoe is. I boggle at people like deb and Erin, who can wear high high spiky heels and move and be comfortable in them. It's magical.

At the shoe store today, I decided that two-inch heels were too high. I've never had heels that weren't agony, and I've pretty much given them up altogether. Today's purchase [link] is about as spiffy as I go these days. I'm so boring.

I can do high, but I can't do spiky at all. Also, a lot of your clunkier-type shoes have a thick sole, so that the hell isn't actually as high as it looks.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm 4'10". I can't wear heels higher than about 2".
