Personal shopper Mona Sharaf would rather risk life and limb on NYC’s treacherous cobblestone streets than swap her heels for flats. And brainy actress Mayim Bialik, who has been filling in as a “Jeopardy! “host in recent months, has garnered attention - both positive and negative - for her footwear choices on the show. Hailey Bieber, Nicky Hilton and model Shanina Shaik have been spotted stepping out in sneakers, simple loafers and even slipper-like Uggs. Indeed, the “to heel, or not to heel” debate has moved into the public sphere, as even celebrities have leaned into a more relaxed style. “NYC and events are back, and women are out in nice clothes and when I look down, they’re in really ugly flats. It ruins the whole thing,” she ranted to The Post. Sharaf continued that the sartorial rules for lockdown need not apply to regular life. “Please ladies put your heels back on! YES we noticed and NO it does not look good!” “So many women out at night wearing their ‘sensible’ shoes,” personal shopper Mona Sharaf wrote on her Facebook page last month.

But now - with offices reopening, and parties and weddings back underway - it’s the moment of truth for women who claim to have ditched their high heels for good. “I just can’t wear them anymore.”Ģ020 was the year women stopped wearing bras, quit dyeing their roots and traded their stilettos for sneakers. “Now, I really don’t feel as much pressure to wear heels,” said the 5-foot-2 former footwear addict. Before the pandemic, she said, “I was going out to all these fund-raisers and celebrity events in stilettos - I loved how they made me feel.”īut she admits that things have changed for her since lockdown. Her shoe collection includes dozens of high-end pairs, from luxury labels such as Stuart Weitzman, Charles Jourdan and Saint Laurent. “I’ve been buying heels since I was in college,” Grosz, a 58-year-old radio host, told The Post.
