Maybe she doesn't wear them enough and isn't used to them anymore - and that's why she would appear to some to be unsteady on them... I'm sure she rips them off the minute she's off stage... And I'm sure if she thought they were a danger to herself or anyone else, she'd reduce the height or leave them off completely. But she probably figures for 2.5 hours a day, she can handle it... Plus they are handmade, so I'm sure they were made well and not like your everyday boot...
It's funny.. last night friends and I were talking about this very thing in a way, not Stevie, just women in general and the boots and shoes that they wear now-a-days and the torcher women must go through just to look good! In particular we saw a girl wearing thigh high boots over jeans just out walking her dog and thought WTF.
