Polish Women - No Heels; europen food is too salty

I visited three major/large cities in Poland, Gdansk, Moscow and Krakow, in the recent month. I found that most local women, I presume that the women I met on the street were not tourists like I was, wore flat bottom shoes, no high heels, or heeled shoes of any kind.

The most women were fairly tall, taller than - 5'5". 5'7 - 6' tall women were everywhere. I guess being tall, there is no need to use heels to "project" a taller stature. But, I don't get it why wearing flat bottom shoes for long walk?


Being as American, we were taught to wear well padded, well cushioned shoes. How are we going to ever survive the "local life style" when we have such tender feet and joints?

Over weight American are constantly reminded to eat less processed food and cut down on salt etc. Over the years, the processed food and snack are promoted for less salt contents.

I visited Poland and Germany recently, and I found most of food are too salty for my taste.
