Shoe Question, ladies!

[chocolatepuppy]

I work in a factory and wear tennis shoes to work. I don't do heels more than an inch on any of my shoes, not even my dress shoes.

Hard to believe but back in the day when I was 18-24 I worked retail AND wore high heels! Everyday! I look back in amazement.
I have craptacular ankles and gradually the heels got lower and lower. I do have a few princess heels that I like because the heel is centered on the heel and easy to walk in. Now, when I get dressed up, I wear a super flat ballet slipper. To work, I wear sneakers. I do keep a pair of my princess heels at my desk when I need to look like a "big girl" LOL! That's rare. My "retail feet" just won't let me do it anymore!

1-inch heels or less, usually a wedge. I wear support sneakers mainly. I do have so platforms or clogs which elevate the whole foot with a slight lift to the heel. Don't wear these much since I do have ear problems.

I actually need a slight lift to the heel due to some tendon problems (and double-jointed knees) which cause severe pain when I walk shoeless.

I teach, so I need to be able to move around the room with ease.

Sneakers for me. I work in a pub, so I'm on my feet running around a lot. Only comfy shoes for me! I just bought a pair from Old Navy for $20 that are much more comfortable then my last pair I paid $60+ for. I only have one pair of fancy boots that have a small heel. Even that is terribly uncomfortable to me.

I don't have an actual career yet, but I'm a Costume Character at an amusement park and I wear sneakers. I wore heels for the first time this year at Senior Prom. I can't imagine being a cop or an FBI agent and wearing heels to work...it's honestly just there to add sex appeal and nothing more.

In my future career, I would imagine I'll be wearing hiking boots of some sort

I was a nurse, so wore the most comfortable shoes I could find. Heel? None to speak off.

Now I'm retired and wear Birkenstocks or ECCO most of the time. Again, no heel to speak of. I think if I tried one of those stiletto spikes, I'd no doubt fall and break something

I don't have a specific career yet; however, I am very, very clumsy, so it's usually flip flops or converse for me.

I do have 3-5 or so pairs of heels though. One pair of wedges are 5 inches, and I'd guess the others are 3 inches or less. They don't get worn too often though, unless I'm going out or going to a formal occasion. I fall easily, so they mostly stay in the closet

I work in a Doc's office so it's New Balance for me during the day but if I go out it is heels. I love shoes and I might not wear the stilottes as much as I used to at 52 ( they hurt my ankle if I walk a lot) but heels are a must and if you pay a comfy price you will get a comfy high heel that is centered nice and won't pinch. Cheap heels will kill anyone's feet.
That is just one thing you have to spend a few more bucks on to be comfortable in.

I'm retired now, but for the majority of my working years, I worked in an office setting. I wore heals - in the early years started out with the "spikes" like 3", but as the years progressed, the heels got lower, and even down to flats at times. When I retired in 2006, I got rid of all my dress shoes with the exception of a couple of pair - basic black and a 1 1/2" heel, and I might have worn them once or twice in the past 5 years. I now live in Birkenstock sandals for as long as the weather permits, and when it's too cold for them, then it's sneakers or ankle boots.
