That, and the rules/proper way to stand and walk in heels that I learned from a fashion model I met on my 5th grade career day 47 years ago helps me to avoid knee and back issues. Use those same rules to teach my students, both girls and boys, "High Heel Basics" each Spring during recess. Kids love it and the boys are usually better than the girls at it. Too hilarious an experience. One year, when I had the principal's son in my class, we decided to come in from recess a la parade via the office. They took video. Fun, fun.

I can't ever imagine giving them up voluntarily. Have standing instructions to my children and husband that I am to be cremated wearing a pair or I will haunt them. You must teach us!
