Sounds like everyday tasks take you all day. At least you can still manage the stairs, which is one plus point I suppose. My ex who liked locking my shoes on got me some of those XTC platform pumps with a locking ankle strap, so I’ve had some experience in wobbling around in heels that high. I find boots a bit easier, as you’re less likely to twist your ankle and they feel more stable somehow. I was OK if we just went out for a trip to the cinema or a party, or various events which were part of an arts festival that particular summer, but in ordinary circumstances I usually chicken out and wear something a bit lower. The XTCs give you an incredibly long leg line for wearing long skirts though. Call me vain, but I like catching glimpses of myself reflected in mirrors or windows when I’ve got platforms on. You need a man to lean on for walking around outside – uneven pavements, slopes and kerbs become particularly treacherous. Yes, you get very adroit at scanning the terrain for the best route, and a technique of feeling your foot go down so as to detect any unevenness – rather like you do when walking barefoot. I think my XTCs are in the bottom of the wardrobe somewhere. I’ll get them out. They look quite tame compared to those shoes in your link. Yes, as you’ve probably guessed, I spend more time than I should browsing the Pleaser and Demonia styles _. So much footwear, so little time . . .
