I’m a tall female, and I used to work with a tall Chinese-American guy (he was probably 3 inches taller than I am). One day I wore heels and he lectured me how I shouldn’t wear heels because it makes my husband feel like less of a man. I told him that my husband is already shorter than I am, and he is fine with how tall I am (with or without heels). He wasn’t convinced and every time I wore heels, he would glare at me and stand up straighter so that he could be taller than I was. I’m sure it was his traditional Chinese upbringing, but it was ridiculous. I’ve dated guys who were not fine with my height, even though there’s nothing I can do about it!
Ha Ha, read an article just yesterday about high heel shoes.

High heels were originally worn by Persian cavalry and in the 1600’s, “Persian style shoes were enthusiastically adopted by (European) aristocrats, who sought to give their appearance a virile, masculine edge that, it suddenly seemed, only heeled shoes could supply.”
When women started wearing them in the 1730’s, men stopped wearing them.
Not so good for the ball of the foot either. The weight has been shifted forward. They make supports for the heels and arches but not for the front half of the foot where it’s needed most when wearing high heels.
You cut down those heels, Ben, and you’ll throw off Olivia’s balance. My wife’s in the same boat as a lot of you ladies who have posted here: They don’t make heels that can get her up to my height. We knew that going in; made no difference. In fact, the only other serious girl from my former life wasn’t any taller than my wife. She was 5’1.5" — and to this day, still takes exception to being referred to as 5’2".

You probably paid for them, Ben but that’s not a wise decision. Anyway, they’ll probably get caught in the first grating Olivia encounters.

My hubby loves it when I put on heels. Then again, he’s 12" taller than me anyway.

I wish I could wear heels but even so I’d never be taller than my better half. I’m only 5 feet tall, he’s not a tall man but he is compared to me.

Anybody ever try to walk in high heels? It’s hard!

She will just buy another pair of shoes so no need to cut the heels off.
