At least in our office, there are two types of gals: Those that would die for their stilettos, and those who'd freak out if they were in anything but their wedges. The skinny heel vs. chunky heel seems like comparing apples to oranges; each has their merits and shortcomings, and wearing one doesn't mean that you won't ever sample the other. But in terms of crossover, there actually doesn't seem to be much happening. We've yet to find a woman who wears both styles in equal measure. So which side of the great heel divide do you fall? Leg-enhancing, sexy, painful skinny heels—or the comfortable, unfussy, clumsy-looking chunky heel?
