ok, I LOVE shoes like everyone else, however I am balance-challenged in this dept. I can manage a kitten heel and this is only for a couple of hours. After that my feel (at the ball) start to hurt or I find myself starting to teeter. Can anyone offer any words of wisdom about how I can achieve better balance with a higher heel…I know a wider heel would help, but I really would like to be able to wear stilettos once in my life.

Have you tried those massaging gel insoles? I got ones that you put in your shoes where the balls of your feet are, and after standing up for about 2.5 hours in 3.5" stilettos, my feet were fine.

Make sure the shoes are well broken-in. Wear them only a few mintues at a time to begin with. Also, wearing them for a few minutes at a time will let you practise walking in them without stumbling/tripping/rolling your ankle.
Other suggestion: Look for character heels. They make more then just the standard anymore, and they're made for dancing, which USUALLY means comfortable and well-balanced.
