Carla, Rayna...
I also find that wearing "dress shoes" with a bit of a heel are more
comfortable to wear. While most teachers complain about sore feet at
the end of the day because of their dress shoes, I always feel better in
them than flats...But I think I have figured out why...Pre-hamstring
lengthening two summers ago, my center of gravity was way far back and
my rear end stuck out when I walked. So, if I put on heels, that put my
center of gravity more forward. After I had the surgery, I couldn't
wear ANY heel at all - only sneakers - for a year, cause my center of
gravity was more centered so when I put heels on I felt like I was going
to fall forward. It is just recently that I can wear heels again. So,
that either means that I am walking more like I used to pre-surgery
(which I think is the case) or that I have figured out how to center my
center better! And, you are right, heels make getting a heel-toe gait
easier.
