It could have turned Cinderella into a princess. Or its clicks may conjure visions of a femme fatale. Yes, it’s High Heels, preferred by many and disliked by some, yet walking in them is a herculean task. They are infamous for making amateurs walk like Donald Duck and trip dangerously. They also hurt too and can cause foot pain. For this reason, some people prefer to wear heeled boots or shoes that can give them a little extra support so walking isn’t an issue. Luckily there are shoe companies similar to Peter Sheppard dedicated to creating a range of knee high boots, and low heel shoes for those who enjoy heels but can’t master them. However, if you want to try to master your high heels you’ve come to the right place.
