While extremely high heels may be uncomfortable, one wonders whether the
postural effects of reasonable heels are so bad as many claim.

Personally I never tried going around in stiletto pumps -), but wearing a
pair of cow-boy boots with 2.5 cm heels I am even more at ease, especially
if I am standing rather than walking or running, than wearing perfectly
flat soles.

After all, we have been standing on the balls of our feet for most of our
evolutionary history... :-)
