Hello Dorianne

No wonder you gave them back. Heels with height can make anyone uncomfortable. This septet has a lot of color and has a colorful experience as well.

Figures-
The simile does it all. Comparing walking on heels to the first steps of a baby is a sensible figure. Lines merge with one another and the transformation of one feeling into another is executed smoothly.

Friend's smile-
I can see her smiling with understanding the challenge the "heels" created. Somehow, the recording of friend's reaction, makes the poem more appealing. You didn't have to say anything, for, she "knew." Nice way of making me read between the lines as well.

Imagery-
Imagery stands out. Visually appealing, for I can see you trying them and leaving them for fear of you know....

Red stands out as well.

It flows well.
