Could you walk a mile in these shoes? (literally not figuratively)

It has been YEARS since I’ve not been pregnant or breast feeding (three back to back). I’ve finally got round to shifting that last bit of baby weight and feel great.

It’s my SILs birthday coming up and we are doing a bit of a night out. I think there will be roughly a mile or so of walking all in all. Not too much.

I used to dress up and wear stilettos ALL the time pre babies. But I just don’t know if I’m being ambitious wearing these shoes and bar hopping.

Back in the day these would have been sensible heels but I’m very out of practice. Want to feel glam. Getting my make up done to feel more me!

They aren’t too bad, are they?

Not me. They look very high and my feet would go all puffy.

I don't wear heeled shoe at all. I can walk in flat sandals.

Stop and starting Would be fine.

It will be broken up, not one go. We will be stopping at the restaurant, pubs/bars. I just know that there is a mile between the restaurant and the my SILs favourite bar. But plenty of stops along the way

Only you know what you can do but there is no way I would be able to walk any distance in those. Not even back in the day when I wore smart shoes for work

Absolutely no for me. But I can't wear even one inch wedge heels so prob not the best person to ask, got married in flip flops!

They are lovely though - I wish I could

BaronessBomburst · 28/05/2025 12:27

I could. And they're lovely!
I couldn't drive in them anymore though.

FrodoBiggins · 28/05/2025 12:27

In how many separate journeys? And will you be standing when you get to destination/s or mainly sitting.

The shoes are fun!

GCAcademic · 28/05/2025 12:26

If it was a mile in one stretch, then no. But if you're getting a taxi in and out and then just walking from one bar to another, probably OK.

Good excuse to get a pedi
