I quit wearing high heels when I turned 30 and I’ve never felt more confident and energized

  • For her 30th birthday, the author decided to try not wearing heels for a month.
  • She felt more confident, had less back pain, and experimented with new looks.
  • She hasn’t worn heels since, though she might break them out every once in a while.


I turned 30 last summer, and as the milestone approached, I started to notice some changes in myself. It now takes me way longer time to get over a hangover, I’d rather stay in than go out most nights, and I find comfortable looks much more appealing than I ever did before.

More specifically, I find myself reaching more often for what our mothers (or grandmothers) might call sensible shoes.

For the majority of my life, I’ve always felt my most fashionable when wearing a great pair of heels, so I started to wonder if I’ve become lazier or just given up on caring how I looked.
