Given my profession and high likelihood of either standing for the vast majority of the day and or walking several miles each day, I almost ALWAYS wear practical shoes. Most of the time I wear Dankso's especially since the extra height is usually required for my pants not to need hemming. I have entirely too many pairs including several crushed velvet styles. Dansko's don't work with skirts or dresses (really, and if you think they do -- they don't), and occasionally I like something fancier. Unfortunately fancier = high heals.
All in all I don't wear heals very often. Today I was in clinic all day and was supposed to have a meeting to discuss fellowship (it got rescheduled). I have a bunch of pants that I've bought recently that need to be hemmed. (And many of my non-hemmed pants aren't so comfortable -- hoping the running fixes that.) I decided that if I wore high-healed boots I had a pair of pants that I could wear without hemming them.
What is is about high heals? Why do I feel more powerful in them -- okay, the outfit together was great and the run this morning made me feel all the better, but still?
As I clicked around all day on the hardwood floor in the office I felt all the better -- like I could do just about anything. You don't get that feeling wearing cute flats.
My favorite part was when I was walking through the hospital at one point past this elderly gentleman (who had to be at least 70) and he said "Oh, isn't that a great sound!"
I think it means he loves a woman in sexy high heals.
But once we saw the last person in clinic I both my attending and I immediately took our shoes off!
But gentlemen -- what is it about high heals?

I don't know, but you're definitely right about them (especially high heeled boots). And because I can't resist, it's HEELS. With two E's! You're a surgeon fer Chrissake.
