I always wear sensible shoes Frank
My sister always used to take it out of me something terrible about my choice of shoes...but who is the one who is now suffering with bunions and hammertoes??

[Diflower]

Oh me too Jo
My poor mum dreaded taking me to buy new shoes - from about the age of two
She had only had hand-me-downs, the first pair of new shoes she owned were her wedding shoes, so she was determined I would only ever have new shoes that fitted.
But of course her 'does it hurt? Can you feel the ends? Are they comfortable?' made me ever so fussy! It's done me good though, I still hate shoes I can 'feel' too much, and have always been happiest barefoot - and have been told my feet are lovely

In that case Kaz, since it's only Wm we have to fool you'll be more than fine

I walk like a duck with flats....

You do not walk like a duck. You might chatter like a bag of chipmunks, but you walk OK.

I've been told that before...... LOL @ Kaz - you knit???? You kept that quiet!!

[Diflower]

She didn't say she knits Gal, just that in theory she knows how

[Workingman]

I will have you ladies know that at St Anthony's Catholic Primary School we did knitting..... so I do know how to knit one, purl one. I made a scarf type rope thing, and I always wore Tuff shoes when knitting, just in case.

I can do (and have Di! ) blanket squares and scarves - that's the sum total

I always wire heels when I worked. Nothing silly height, (well occasionally when in was heading out straight after work) nothing overly low either, but just a nice height. One thing I have always made sure of though was that my feet were never squashed and so far so good, they have no problems.

Little miss can only seem to wear handle down shoes. She has a very wide foot, which means I normally look for shoes in the boys section as they are slightly wider, but the hand me downs are best, as they come pre stretched. When she was was first walking I bought her shoes, not realising the we squashing her feet. One day I looked closer and two of her middle toes (the slightly webbed ones) were crossing over each other on each foot. So she became barefoot annie while that straightened. Lucky it was summer.

As for the original question, yes, I can and have carried a baby in heels, even a newborn and 16 month old together, with heels and nappy bag on back. though now that I don't wear heels anywhere as often now, I'm not sure I would feel comfortable doing it again.
