1. Wear practical shoes. You may be tempted to opt for skyscraper heels but these are a definite no-no. You will have to walk from your car/bus/taxi to the stand and may be on your feet all day, so by the end of the evening (if not sooner) you will be in pain. You may also be standing on the grass at some point and that comes with a risk of sinkage. A chunky heel combines style with support and may be your best option if you are heading to Ballybrit. A flare heel which has a wider base at the bottom, tapering to a thinner point at the top, is another wise choice, especially if you have wider feet. It provides style, stability, and support. If you would like your legs to appear longer, opt for slim, medium heels.

The world over, I have stood on and beneath bridges, staring at their girth and wondering how the hell they stay up and what a leap of faith is was for the engineers to venture forth on their construction.
