I definitely judge a book by it's cover, and by that I mean, the shoe by its heel. I'm not a fan of the kitten heel, its far too matronly in my opinion, and although I've come across many beautiful flats, I generally pass them by without so much as a second glance.
For me, it's all about the heel. I love the new Marc Jacobs 6 inch "stunners" seen on Victoria Beckham recently. I don't think it's possible to find any negatives. They are like sweet sweet heaven for your feet.
Also I have to brag: on a recent trip to NYC, I was able to score myself a stunning pair of YSL pumpes, basically hot of the press. After scouting Saks, and the YSL flagship I was finally able to find my size. I had to lie coming back over the border, the shoes were the cost equivalent of my entire weekly limit, but totally worth it. Worth every penny.
I love the feeling of putting on a fabulous pair of heels; it's a feeling like you're on top of the world. (Even though for me, I still barely manage to make eye contact with anybody). I love knowing that everyone is looking at my feet, with envy.
Maybe it makes me shallow, maybe it sounds materialistic but I would be willing to sacrifice a great many things for the opportunity to wear some of the seasons hottest heels.
I love how lately my favorite designers such as Louboutin, Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, never compromise on heel height. It almost at times appears as though they are trying to trump each other for who can create the highest tower.
I say, fine by me and keep up the good work fellas! I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Off to strut my stuff.

You are right. A pair of flats will never look as beautiful as a perfect stiletto. And, at 5 feet tall, they're not really even an option. I just read somewhere that you should always wear heels as people will notice the shoe, not whether or not you can actually walk in them. So, I am with you.
Brilliant!
