)HA! Practical is good. I never understood why women would want to walk around all day on a tiny 2" high heel. Makes no sense. If a woman was doing that for me, I would tell her "Dont do it for me. Wear real shoes that are comfortable and touch the ground. THAT is hot."

Actually, I find it far easier to ride a bike in high heels than to walk in them.

You aren't alone in the riding part. I have seen pictures of a certain lady riding an entire weekend in high heels on a vintage 3 speed
as part of the ABCE TourI also recall seeing on occasion the last time I was in Paris too.

Truth be told though, they are more about a couple of grocery bags in nice weather than hauling grand pianos through ice and sleet
This one gets a little more action.
