That would be so hard to answer.....most women that travel on the underground trains in London or busses tend wear flat or low heel to go to work wearing..... Many women in our office change into higher heels once they get to the office.......its kind of a dress code that the younger women have to look stylish and frumpy shoes are frowned upon....:(
Its impossible to know and something I wouldn't ask a much older person....
That doesn't exactly count as "never even once in her life", because many women in those situations wear more comfortable shoes during their commutes or lunch breaks, and switch over into high heels at other times.
