The heel is engineering in itself. This little thing that supports the human weight has to have a precise balance.

Wellbeing is attained by little and little, and nevertheless is no little thing itself.

You are a saucy little thing aren't you?

I have no problem with the idea of comfort, but it is not an important thing aesthetically. If you look at a shoe and immediately say it looks very comfortable, in terms of design, it is not going to excite me. Of course, I am not putting nails in my shoes to ensure everybody is in pain, but a heel is not a pair of slippers and never will be.

Every little thing counts in a crisis.

One thing I detest, I have to say, is when a shoe is too soft, and it's molding to the foot. This is quite disgusting. And I really, really hate incredibly long shoes, where the last is very pointy, almost like Aladdin.
