 In my normal, every day, shoe wearing status...I make one of two choices; flip  flops or my All-Stars.  Usually not a hard choice, it depends on the weather or whether or not I want to put socks on.  Since most of my socks are knee socks, I spend most of the summer in flip flops.  (And, they're cheap flip flops.  I got them for $1 on sale at Michaels when I went in to buy yarn for a project and happened to break the thong of the flip flops I was wearing into the store, so it was GREAT timing.)

But...I have one pair of heels that I adore.  
A little backstory...
I spent my teenage years in a house full of girls.  And I was the only one with an odd foot size.  So, I couldn't borrow any of my sisters' shoes, because they'd be too big.
So, I fell in love with Mary Janes.  And, in the 90's, that meant the soles were chunky and high enough that they could have been heels, but still kept that innocent quality about them.
That doesn't mean I didn't have heels.  I was a cheerleader.  I was in a "Pageant" family.  Of COURSE I had heels.  I could run in heels.  
However, over the years, the opportunity, and need, to wear heels has dwindled.  But, I'm still a sucker for Mary Janes, especially patent leather ones.  But, no one makes them in my size :(

Until about a year ago.  Kind of.  I found these gorgeous black patent leather Mary Janes.  That happened to have a 4" heel.  Sexy without being too vixenish.  Perfect for every dress I own.

And  I've worn them once, to a funeral.  :glare:

The years not wearing heels, coupled with spending 9 months with my center of balance off-kilter, haven't facilitated the wearing of heels...but, hopefully, I'll get back in practice ;)

As for my Poser folk, lol, I almost never buy shoes for them, unless it's something I'd wear.  So, um, there are boots for my folk in my runtime.  :/
