If, like many brides, you'd like for your immediate bridal party to do a scenic photographic tour of Lucca and the walls just after the ceremony, then you'll appreciate this find. Instead of cursing the cobblestone pavement that you originally found charming and now are discovering is punishing on your high heels, stop by a great shoe store on via Filungo called, “Mood”. They have these beautiful high heeled shoes made with inch thick discs attached to the bottoms of the soles of the shoe. They allow you to wear heels that look 4 inches but in fact are only 3 in terms of actual height you need to balance. In fact to me, when I wear them, it feels like I'm wearing no more than a comfortable pump. I've been wearing them this entire 2008 season and have been super comfortable in them. No more back aches or sore knees.
