Heels

Block heels and kitten heels, nothing between

The block is wider under the foot. The slim one is narrower. Both stop well short of anything that could be called high. The flats are in the cupboard for everything else. A hem set for a flat sits differently the moment a heel goes under it.

The dress above these heels, the boot after

A dress reads differently with a heel under it. Once the cold sets in, the boots take the same work on. An ankle strap turns up on some of the finer pairs. A closed toe carries a work day.
