I have loved high heels since I was a very little girl. And, I have worn heels primarily since my first pair from grammar school graduation.
The turning point that let me know that I was hooked was the day that I ruined a brand new pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes (Yellow) on the very first wearing. After I ruined that pair of shoes I knew that I couldn't afford to have that happen again. It took several weeks to find the shoe in my size (Size 10 can be hard to find) and, believe me, I am still disappointed that I never got to enjoy wearing that pair of yellow Stuart Weitzman's.
Because of that, I created Heel Shields. (http://www.theheelshield.com/)
Heels Shields protect the rear of the shoe while driving. No more ruined shoes. So I buy shoes without fear.
This picture is of shoes I found on a recent visit to Phoenix - real finds. I spent less than $150 total. Stuart Weitzman, Kate Spade and Guess. As you can tell - I wore them too. I didn't wear any of the shoes I brought on the trip once I bought my first pair.
