High Heel shoes

I used to dislike the girls at work who wore high heels. I own a lot of pairs but I only ever wear them to parties or holidays. I've come to decide that they just made me uncomfortable (the girls not the shoes). I never thought I could be that type of women whatever that meant. Today I wore my most comfortable heels for the sole purpose that my pants are long, I'm short and it is raining. I've noticed that where I'm normally ignored by passersby, which suits me fine I'm rather shy, that hasn't been the case today. I even had a guy do a double take. It could be I'm holding myself different. I had a theatre coach tell me that in the halls she'd see me and my body language was withdrawn. In heels, you have to hold yourself up taller or you'll fall over. This would give your body a much more open, less withdrawn, appearance. Maybe I need to walk a mile in someone else's shoes before I judge them?
