As Beth Ann said, it helped that the heels weren't stilettos. I wouldn't have lasted. These Tommy Hilfiger ones are pretty comfortable.... for high heels that is.<br /> Beth Ann talked about Cole Haan heels with Nike technology for comfort. Very interesting. I am going to look into that.<br /> I have an Italian blogger friend who can walk on high heels for 10 hours. I have no idea how she manages. I tried to copy her (bare feet in closed shoes in summer...) and lasted one hour.<br /> But I am sure you are treated differently according to how you are dressed.<br /> Greetje </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-classic-pencil-skirt#post-1653823 Mon, 02 May 2016 15:32:58 +0000 Beth Ann 1653823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look! &nbsp;Pencil skirt, pumps and silk shirt will never fail to give the wearer elegance. &nbsp;I am happy that you avoided stiletto heels, however, the block heels are every bit as sexy, while making the stride a bit more stable.</p> <p>I'm wearing heels less these days, and focusing on 2-3 inches when I do. I would like to have a pair of Cole Haan heels with the Nike technology. &nbsp;I've tried them in the stores and loved the way they balance your weight over the heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-classic-pencil-skirt#post-1653786 Mon, 02 May 2016 14:08:43 +0000 Tanya 1653786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit and you look stunning!&nbsp;&nbsp; I can only do very high heels if they are wedges, real heels are very painful.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-classic-pencil-skirt#post-1653749 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:15:24 +0000 viva 1653749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is such a story in these photos!

I cannot wear heels that long or that high and when I shop I prefer to be comfortable. But I always wonder about women who shop in heels and are dressed up. Do they have a more exiting life than me? Are they coming right from work? LOL It has occurred to me on occasion to just get dressed up for my errands and maybe someone will wonder the same thing about ME. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-classic-pencil-skirt#post-1653506 Sun, 01 May 2016 20:57:21 +0000 rachylou 1653506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The power of the pencil!

I cannot walk all day in high heels a super comfy 2 inch is my limit &nbsp;and that would be for about 4 hours only.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-classic-pencil-skirt#post-1653459 Sun, 01 May 2016 17:13:58 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1653459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look stunning in your heels and skirt outfit, Greetje! That's a fun experiment. The photos are gorgeous. <br />I wouldn't be comfortable walking all day in heels that high. I have worn my Paul Green platform heeled booties for a day on my feet at work; they are especially comfortable shoes, despite their height. Still, I wouldn't choose them for a full day of shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-classic-pencil-skirt#post-1653447 Sun, 01 May 2016 16:43:27 +0000 Suz 1653447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in both outfits. But like you, I can't wear heels for hours on end. I do like a low heel -- around 2 inches -- but too much higher than that and they are "sitting shoes." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-classic-pencil-skirt#post-1653445 Sun, 01 May 2016 16:41:23 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1653445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful, and I love these photos, too.

You look great--elegant but not overdressed.&nbsp;</p> <p>The days I could go shopping in heels are past.

But one sunny day I decided to wear my elegant, ladylike pencil skirt with heels. Sturdy heels as Haarlem (The Netherlands) is known for its cobble stones. Nevertheless high heels.<br />It was noticed.<br />I know ... because at one point I dropped my keys and a gentleman was very quick picking them up for me. And when I went into a fancy clothes shop, the owner told me that she and her assistant had seen me passing and had said to one another: "See??? It is possible to be elegant going to town. Doesn't have to be jeans and T-shirts all the time." <br />I had a good laugh because this was really only an experiment. Far too impractical for me. Back aches and sore feet.<br />Can you walk on high heels all day shopping? I cannot.<br />Greetje </p>
