Heels are dead. Or so I proclaimed in an article two years ago explaining why I was hanging up my stilettos and embracing a pain-free future of ballet flats at weddings and trainers on first dates. I had all the zeal of a convert and was convinced I’d never go back. Yet as the pandemic dragged on my cravings set in, and I found myself dreaming about slipping on a shoe that was ever so slightly spindly, and absolutely not appropriate for any Government-approved exercise.
