I Tried High Heels For the First Time in a Year — Here’s What Happened

Everyone is getting dressed up again — and the high heel is making its comeback. At least that’s what I had heard from designers and fashion industry insiders as vaccinations started to roll out and the world began to reopen earlier this spring. After more than a year of a short-term, micro-culture of slippers and sweatpants, high heel wearers would once again throw on their finest to kick off (pun intended)  a new era of glamour and celebration. So with my vaccination complete and a few dinner reservations on the books, I finally took a closer look at my closet and the status of my shoe collection. While I had tried on my high heels a few times during the past year, it was always from the comfort of my home, and it never lasted more than a few minutes. Slipping on a pair of bejeweled pumps or strappy sandals was more of an act of nostalgia (or for the sake of social media) than it was a practice in actually getting dressed. But now that I had a full weekend in New York City scheduled, picking out clothes and shoes wasn’t just an act of playing dress up; it was a requirement.
