Looks like another season will be marked by a mid-heel. Is
it just a sign of designers’ tired feet? Is Tamara Mellon fed up with wearing
ridiculously high Jimmy Choos and woke up one day in her New York penthouse
only to realise that there’s nothing wrong with a lower heel? If that is the
case – thank you Ms Mellon! Thank you designers for making shoes that make us
o more than a couple of inches taller and allow us to wear heels at work all day.
I did go through a phase of wearing 4inch high shoes that, at the
time, I’ve found to be on the comfortable side. As a quite tall person I was
even taller and could easily see which shop assistant was serving the beginning
of the queue quicker. However, since last summer I have been in camp mid-heel. Why? In
lower heels one can move quicker in order to grab that last smoked salmon
sandwich at lunchtime in M&S. One can also walk a longer distance than car
park-main door. Also, I stopped receiving comments like ‘could you be any
taller?’ in a Chandler Bing voice. So, ladies, don’t be afraid. Don’t be scared
of the mid heel. It’s still glamorous. It still makes a statement. It still is
making your hips swing softly as you walk. Believe in a mid heel and it will believe in you.
