My wife still doesn't really understand but she tolerates them and will accompany me if I'm in more subtle styles. She's fine with my wedge boots and some block heels but stilettos in public would be a bit much!
I'm finding myself on tiptoe when not wearing heels. It doesn't hurt to put my feet flat but it's more comfortable with my ankles flexed a bit. It's also much more comfortable for my back, as I've said.
Male slave don't you get an allowance? Or money gifts? When I was a kid I saved up money from presents and even worked in grotty jobs so as to buy things I wanted
