[nagdu] Heels (shoes) and Guide Dogs

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

That's how it's gone on our few practice trials and the one gig I did where
I wore girl shoes once I got to the client's building.  I sure did walk
slow, though, because all I could see was me greeting the client an
dpromptly falling on my face!  Mitzi did fine, too.

Still, it's always good to know how others manage it.  /girn/

I'm totally with you.  I despise dress shoes.  Yet I'm wearing a pair right 
now.
I really only notice that I walk slower in dress shoes.  I use the same 
length of harness handle, but I don't wear heels either.

I'm thinking as long as you can comfortably hold the harness handle, you 
aren't leaning over, I think the same length should be fine.
