    Where did you hear about that happening? No-one told me.

    I suspect the sword bearer may regret the choice to wear heels to stand
    for such a long time.

    I dunno, they looked like sensible ones to me: not too high, not too thin. No problem.

    Not having worn heels myself, I can't judge that, but I did see that,
    where not hidden by flowing robes or gowns, other women standing around
    for long periods were wearing flats.

    I can't recall the last time I saw a woman wearing heels in an office.
    Even when not casual dress (like my current place).
