If there’s one thing to be learned from "Sex and the City," it’s that women love high heels. Sure, they might be painful to wear and challenging to walk in (for some of us, anyway), but as the saying goes, beauty is pain.

Another key finding: The higher the heel, the greater the risk.

This has been known for at least 75 years. Who needs a new study? I guess the people getting the funding?

Heels clash with my grey beard. I wear flats or leather boots.

Just one question Servant of the Cross,
Why is Whoopi even bothering wearing heels given that horrific, unsexy, outfit. Might as well wear flats and be comfortable from head to toe - no pretense of fashionableness at all.
