This is so true i need to have surgery soon for some of the damage I have tdoen to myself...my dumb a$$ refused to wear flats at a time I would commute in NYC in heels like an idiot. If any one in Ny is looking for a fantastic doctor http://www.footnewyork.com/ he also wrote a great book on foot care:

After watching my aunt have surgery on both her feet from walking heels everyday while working in Downtown DC I am one of those people that wear tennis shoes to work then change into my heels once I get into the office. I refuse to have bunions and hammertoes.

If I wear point toes, I make sure there is enough space so my toes aren't crushed, but generally I wear rounded or squared toes to avoid the hammertoes.
I am used to being on the balls of my feet from years of Ballet and am careful to make sure my exercise routine includes strengtheners for my ankles and calves.
Posture, thanks ballet again! I make sure i am always centered and extra pulled tight in my heels, pull your stomach towards your back and stand tall. Stand up against the wall and all of your back should be touching, pull up and in until it does. That is correct posture.

I have to put the cushions in all my shoes and put an extra sole on the bottom. Costs a little extra, but it's worth it for the extra comfort.

I sure do love heels but they dont love me! I am hating 99% of the shoes in the post pic.

I wear flats to work and heels at work. This is how I compromise cos I can take them off under my desk!
