"As a dedicated flats girl, I rarely sport heels. Not only do they propel me into the atmosphere, leaving me me well over six feet tall, but my toes are already triangular enough, thanks&amp;amp;#8212no need to further torture them. But on Saturday evening, our habitual &amp;quot;theater night,&amp;quot; I poured my feet into some three-inch Miu Miu pumps and hobbled over to Frost Nixon. Sidenote: It&amp;#x27;s kind of sad how mostly, people wear jeans (or worse, jean shorts) to Broadway shows. I get that there are many tourists in attendance, but if you&amp;#x27;re paying 75 bucks to see something, isn&amp;#x27;t it worth a bit of (at the very least) matte jersey? Moments into the show, one of my baby toes began to swell, blister-style. The whole experience was wildly unattractive. I found myself hobbling down to the ladies room for further inspection. Sure enough, a blister, courtesy of a block-long walk in cripplingly high heels. And two days later, it still hurts to walk (just a little bit). But I&amp;#x27;ve gotta say that it takes a very special woman to look graceful, not gawky, in heels. There&amp;#x27;s gotta be a perfect height&amp;amp;#8212I&amp;#x27;m guessing it&amp;#x27;s between 2.3 to 2.5 inches&amp;amp;#8212where a woman can still possess command over her strut. It&amp;#x27;s true that they make legs look longer, thinner, blah blah blah, but I hate how heels can dictate my actions. When wearing them, I&amp;#x27;m less likely to walk through the park, take the subway, walk home over the bridge....you get the point. And there are so many cute flats in stores now, why suffer in silence? Ladies, please say you feel my (literal and proverbial) pain."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
