As a taller lady, I ceased wearing heels in college when many self conscious dates questioned why I was wearing heels. I was clueless as was just following fashion trends, until a long term boyfriend just blurted out, "but they make you way taller than me." I ditched heels as was wearing dressy shoes to look attractive, but the heels were repelling guys. More importantly I realized that wearing flats was actually far more comfortable; and never turned back. I still seek out shoes that look stylish, though; and Bella Vita has lots of mid heel to flat designs that are outstanding. Oh yes, and they come in specialty widths from narrow to wide too!
