if You Can't Run for the Bus
Ladies, please consider this as a requisite when deciding on what your outdoor footwear will be;
"Can I run for the bus in these shoes (or boots)?"
If the answe is 'no', then please something else on.
Don't get me wrong. I do enjoy and appreciate how a modest heel on a shoe can shape a womans' leg and perhaps even add a bit of swivel to her walk.... But if you feel that's worth the cost of being unable to get around without needing help, stumbling on the slightest irregularity on the floor, or needing completely smooth and cobble free pavement everywhere you walk; then I think you are mistaken.
i'm not suggesting you need to be capable of running the a steeplechase in your everyday footwear... but running to catch a bus is something you may need to do, and is a good standard to meet.
If you can run for the bus, then you should also be able to:
Each of these items is something any able bodied person should be able to do as they walk on the street. Why hobble yourselves with 'fashionable' shoes?
Please.. if fashionable footwear is that important, please carry yourself a pair of shoes for when you arrive to work, but when you're on the way to somewhere, or out for a walk... please be certain you can at least walk.

Noted. I'll try on boots this weekend and sprint out of the store yelling for the bus. It should be a good test.
Well having hit that point in life where I WILL make more practical choices if absolultey neccessary - I still say this about that - sometimes you gotta go with the pretty ones...
Did something happen that made you think of this post? I was looking for a "I saw this girl in 10" stelletos (sp?) running for the bus and fall into a snowbank where a dog proceeded to pee on her!"
I need comfie shoes in the winter.
