Firstly, may I say that I think these Chloe boots are wonderful and the more I look at them the more possibilities they present…they could be preppy, or 70’s, or equestrian, the list goes on… The only problem, apart from the price, is the heel. It’s a terrible thing to admit but…I cannot walk in heels, even thick ones. It’s probably worse to admit that I can’t even stand still in spike heels; I wave around like a sapling in a strong wind. Something which, you have to agree, is not a good look.

Okay, so I’m 5’11”…I don’t need to wear heels to gain any inches but I can’t escape the simple fact that some outfits just look better if worn with a heel. What's a girl to do? I've tried practicing at home but the only benefit was to my husband…he got a good laugh.

I love my ballet flats and loafers and flat ankle boots…but every so often I get a little wistful and wish I had a better sense of balance.
