Stilettos and a Dream

I have a confession to make.

I have always wanted to wear beautiful high heel shoes - and pull it off with style and grace.  But before we get into that, lets back it up a bit to get a little bit of background...

Shoes have never really been of importance to me, in fact growing up in the summer time you were hard pressed to find anything whatsoever on these little tootsies.

Into highschool, I pretty much wore one set of hiking boots for all occasions - even the fancy ones! That paired with my favourite ball cap - man if that hat could talk....

Now some crocs or flip flops seem to find their way on these feet... but I have always wondered what it would feel like to walk around with a pair of high heels.  Not 6 inch stilettos or anything, but a nice bit of lift.  But for life of me I cannot last long in them.

Are women just tougher than I am?  DO they buy really expensive high heels, is that the secret?  Is there some sort of inserts that make them feel heavenly?  Is there a secret club where you learn all about this sort of stuff, the walk, where and what to buy, the pain free ways of the stiletto?

I have heard Beyonce and a few other people say they run, play basketball, etc in their spike heels.  Hell, I'd be happy to last a day walking around in them and not tripping or dying of pain.

Please let me in on this little feminine secret...and then I will work on the whole make-up nonsense. Yet another of the girly mysteries I have yet to unravel...
