Travellers Don't Wear Heels

I have been told that I'm "too short to be a runway model" since I barely hit the 164 centimeter mark on the height chart. When I went to my shoot on Monday they told me to wear the "highest heels I own" which were about 4.5 inches high and made the arches of my feet ache for sneakers.

With all that said, what real traveler carts them self around in heels?  I see all these bloggers in Paris, Rome, and Florence wearing 5 inch heels that they appear to have been walking all day in. This is erroneous. My bet is, all these fashionistas have a pair of comfy Dr.Scholl's clogs tucked away in the that big Marc Jacobs bag of their's to pull out right after the camera stops shooting.

I just cut out the middle man (the heels) by buying really nice loafers, ballet flats, and low-heeled boots for the practicality.

I took a snapshot of my Sammy Edelman's and Tori Burches so you can agree that you can wear flats and still be fetching.

I'd rather be comfortable than twist my ankle on a cobblestone. Going to NYC this weekend and only brought one pair of heels... they are only 1.5 inches. Take that runway models!
