Her shoe collection includes dozens of high-end pairs, from luxury labels such as Stuart Weitzman, Charles Jourdan and Saint Laurent. Before the pandemic, she said, \u201cI\u00a0was going out to all these fund-raisers and celebrity events in stilettos \u2014 I loved how they made me feel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But she admits that things have changed for her since lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, I really don\u2019t feel as much pressure to wear heels,\u201d said the 5-foot-2 former footwear addict. \u201cI just can\u2019t wear them anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2020 was the year women stopped wearing bras, quit dyeing their roots and traded their stilettos for sneakers. But now \u2014\u00a0with offices reopening, and parties and weddings back underway \u2014 it\u2019s the moment of truth for women who claim to have ditched their high heels for good. So far, it seems that quite a few reformed heel wearers are sticking to their word that they plan to stop suffering for fashion. According to a recent Amex Trendex survey \u2014 a trend index that tracks consumer spending \u2014 female respondents were twice as likely to say they were excited to buy \u201ccomfortable\u201d shoes versus pairs suited to \u201cprofessional dress.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/celebrity-in-flats-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Model Shanina Shaik (from left), Hailey Bieber and Nicki Hilton have all been spotted rocking chic yet comfortable shoes.\" class=\"wp-image-20338416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/celebrity-in-flats-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/celebrity-in-flats-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/celebrity-in-flats-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Model Shanina Shaik (from left), Hailey Bieber and Nicki Hilton have all been spotted rocking chic yet comfortable shoes.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">GC Images (2); MEGA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For Grosz, the benefits of rocking flats far outweigh the drawbacks. \u201cSometimes I miss [heels], but I don\u2019t have to worry about <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ping [anymore],\u201d she said. \u201cI was always aware of marble floors and sometimes I couldn\u2019t dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet diehard heel defenders say that women like Grosz are tip-toeing into dangerous territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many women [post-COVID] out at night wearing their \u2018sensible\u2019 shoes,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.monasharaf.com\">personal shopper<\/a> Mona Sharaf wrote on her <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> page last month. \u201cPlease ladies put your heels back on!
