Hi Susan - Well, no, I don't have to rethink my relationship with high heels because I don't wear them. The only heels I have, which I rarely wear, are probably an inch high, and that's more than enough for me.
Most of my professional life has involved having to keep pace with mostly male co-workers in practical shoes going at a pretty fast clip. High heels just don't fit in with that environment. Outside of work I live in a warm climate where sandals, flip flops and other casual shoes are the norm, along with casual clothes.
High heels can be absolutely gorgeous to look at, but from a practical standpoint they can topple you over, slow you down, are often poorly made with inadequate support and wearing them leads to foot and back problems later in life. To me, they've just never been worth it, but if you want to wear them, go for it!
Best,
Pat
