The kicks in my avatar are my 4" Western Ranches. They are definately something I wear without giving it too much thought. I don't even bother to cover the heel, mostly because they look silly if I do. Never had any reactions one way or the other. I also have a few pairs of block heeled, square toed boots between 3" and 4" that I have worn, but tend to wear longer jeans with them. Yeah, I've been around HHP since '02 but haven't really been active until recently.
