I had to help my sister shop for some shoes and I saw those incredibly high heels (You know, the ones that scare people who are afraid of heights) and I thought to myself "You know, I've always thought those looked scary, and like you'd break your ankle... But I wonder how hard they really are to walk in/how uncomfortable they are") So I tried them on.
I was astonished to find.. They weren't uncomfortable, and they weren't hard to walk in. Actually I have 3 inch heels that are less comfortable... So I guess it's not the size of the heel that counts, but how well it's made!
Of course... It also depends a lot on how you walk. While I'm not a high-heel regular, a girl in the aisle next to me almost broke her ankle, two of the clerks at the store went running to check on her and I peeked around the aisle and a relieved clerk told me "She's fine, a girl trying on the same shoes, I thought she broke her ankle!" So, I guess they aren't for everybody.
I almost bought them... Until I realized I couldn't think of a single place where I'd wear a pair of 5 inch platform heels. Anyway that's my fun story for the day. Scary looking platform heels, not that scary.
