In a previous incarnation as a civil engineer, when
working on a construction site, or surveying I wore
engineer boots. These are big, black clunky boots
with a strap across the instep. They also have relatively high
heels,  to dig into the mud or hillside with.
They were also very comfortable. 
I think the uncomfortable part of women's heels is probably not
that they are high but that they are narrows, which makes
the ankles twist resulting in a wobble.
