I think every woman wants to don a pair of 4-5″ heels and be able to strut through their city’s streets effortlessly.  Many women don’t seem to realize that walking with ease in skyscraper heels is a learning process, one that requires tools to help you get there.

Bicycles have training wheels and young women have training bras.  So for those of us wanting to jump in to great heights, why shouldn’t we buy training heels?  In Such Great Heights, I advocate buying heels in a variety of heights, both for happy heels, ankles, and feet, but also for training purposes.

Here I’ve compiled a list of shoes, all with a 3″ or less heel that are hip, stylish, and great preparation for jumping in to those stilettos!

The Brindle Heels boots by Report have a 2″ covered wedge, creating a discrete lift while providing a manageable height to walk in.

Corso Como is, by far, one of the most comfortable shoe brands I’ve ever worn, from flats to 4″ heels. I’ve been lusting a bit after the Carson Mary Jane; with its 3″ wedge, it goes from a day at the office to a night of dancing with a change of skirt & shirt.

Also by Corso Como is the Cab Boot. With a delicate, stiletto heel that measures in at just under 3″, it’s a deceptive way to look more coordinated and sexy.

Despite being the High Heels blog, there are many amazing options on Heels.com for that all ring in between 1.5-3″.  Not too high, and great practice for those skyscraping nights!

Unless you live under a rock, you probably know all the drama that’s been going on with superstar Rihanna and her “double the pleasure, double the fun” boyfriend Chris Brown. We won’t voice our opinion or take sides in the matter, but we did decide to put focus on Rihanna in a different way. One she might approve of just a bit more.

If you find yourself not being able to remove tunes like “Umbrella” or “Disturbia” from your head, than Rihanna is doing something right. Aside from her exotic sound and hit worthy tunes, she also does something else right; her footwear.

We couldn’t help but notice that countless times Rihanna has been featured sporting some fabulous footwear. How lucky is this girl to wear a different pair each and every single time she seems to step out of her house? We can only wish of such possibilities.

Check out the styles we found and absolutely adore. Whether we love them because they are totally unique, gorgeous or just take our breath away, Rihanna has got one FIERCE shoe addiction going on. And we LOVE IT. Join the club sister.

Yeah. This might as well be me. On a flirtatious day.

It’s a pajamas kind of day. It’s sweater weather. Tonight, I am wearing matching bra and panties. Everyone knows what those statements mean, am I right? Often times, we elaborate on the weather or our moods by the type of outfit we slip into in the morning (or in the case of pajamas, never slip out of). This got me thinking: Wouldn’t using our shoe choice of the day just as easily, if not more efficiently, project to the world your point of view on any given day?

Some days, boring old adjectives just won’t do the trick. No matter what I do to articulate how sexy I feel, how aggravated I am, no humdrum, yellow emoticon on any social networking site can do it justice.

It’s Monday today, and when I got to work, I am confident all seven levels of Hades broke loose. My morning consisted of about 3% my work and 97% of fixing everyone else’s mistakes. The phone was ringing off the hook and my inbox was swamped with menial tasks crowding my already overflowing plate. My mood? Boots – specifically those made for walkin‘.

This weekend, a misty rain came over our fair city and temperatures dropped as we watched our beloved Carolina Panthers choke by epic proportions against the Arizona Cardinals. Sitting on the couch, eating fantastic football food, staying warm for the pending bonfire with friends, there was a certain comfortable and durable, fur-lined type of aura.

Some shoes are chosen out of necessity, some because of the statement you’ll make. Not only can your shoes emit a certain attitude, I believe they can dictate it as well.

Going out with the girls to dance off some of the week’s frustrations? Ready for some strong cosmopolitans and the formation of a guy-free circle around your purses on the dance floor? As tired as you might be, nothing will get you in the right mood like a glittery platform heel, sparkling back at you in the ladies’ room mirror. (Just be wary of too many cosmos, you might twist an ankle, and that isn’t fun for anybody.)

Whether you’re purposefully walking the outlet malls for sales in comfy flats type of weather, or trying to make a statement with a flirty open-toe sandal that says “I might like a kiss on the first date, but I’m not going home with you, player”, you are projecting a certain mindset about what is going to happen up in this piece. Your footwear is your billboard to the people you come in contact with; the welcome mat, the caution light, or God forbid, the stop sign.

Whether you like it or not, your shoe decision is your declaration to the world. Make it a bold one.
