I cannot say that my acquaintances are representative of women generally, but I have noticed a general correlation between height and love of high heels. In my experience, generally, shorter women have a greater affection for high heels than taller women. Among other things, high heels make them seem taller. In fact, one particularly short woman of my acquaintance commented on how people treated her differently based on her apparent height. With low heels, she was treated more like a child than she was when she seemed taller due to her shoes. She was, however, quite young, and could pass for younger, so it will be interesting to observe whether she will have the same issues once she is old. I should probably ask her about this the next time that I see her, since she has aged a few years, but she still is far from old.
My wife, who is taller than most women, hates high heels. I am glad of that, as I do not want her having foot problems from shoes hurting her feet.
