About heels:
	The grandmother of one of my housemates was unable to
put her heels (i.e. the backs of her feet :-) ) on the floor
because her calf muscles were so shortened from wearing high-
heeled shoes all her life.
	Do you want that to happen to yourself (or to any of
your female friends)? Gosh, I sure hope not!
	Personally, I wear either tennis shoes, low-heeled
men's boots, or walking shoes. These last are not great
looking, but they last a long time and don't squeeze my toes,
unlike most women's low-heeled shoes. Face it, most "stylish"
women's shoes, regardless of heel size, are made to fall apart
or get raunchy looking within a few weeks, so you have to go
out and spend $40 on a new pair! My "SAS Handsewns" cost me
$45 five months ago, and look almost brand-new. They are
promoted in shoe stores as "active women's shoes." Not pretty,
but not bad-looking either!
