) with a short or a kitten heel then maybe like these:
I have worn high heels the past 7 years religiously (and I have the damage to prove it!) and I have to say that Manolos are the most comfortable. I ADORE Jimmy Choos but they are not nearly as comfortable as MAnolos. Stuart Weitzman's shoes are also pretty comfortable (and slightly more affordable than Manolos).
I would say go with a stacked heel or wedge first and ease your way into it if the spiky heels are too intimidating at first. It takes practice - I can do 5" but I don't especially recommend it!

I wouldn't recommend mules starting out. They're IMO tougher to walk in, and less stable than a shoe with a back. Also, I find that having to grip with my toes to keep the shoes on also makes my legs get tired and sometimes causes my back to spasm. I love the way they look, but for comfort stick with shoes that have a back or strap.
I can't really contribute too much to this conversation since I wear mostly flats. I have three pairs of shoes that have heels, and the most comfortable are the ones with the tallest heel, about 3"...a pair of boots from Isaac. I think the Manolos look great, but they kind of scare me (in terms of the heels...I love Manolo flats).
It took a long time for me to be comfortable enough to be seen in heels. I'm already tall as it is (5'8") so heels made me feel too tall. Now that I married into a TALL family (I'm the shortest), I am comfortable enough with my height to wear tall shoes.

believe me, they are fantastic.
by the way, i am a lover of flats too!!!!
and i think it is more difficult to walk well with flats than with heels, because heels give you a posture, with flats you have to be careful not to seem a duck
if you like flats, you probably like ballerinas. if this is so, check out www.frenchsole.com
For heel comfort, go with something that has kind of a bendable sole at first--in other words, something that is not rigid or wood based. I also would stay under 3 inches for awhile. Platforms are great for comfort, as well as anything wedge-heeled. I also prefer to not have a very pointy toed style, especially the higher the heel you go--your toes can kind of get crammed up in the front. Go and try them all on in the late afternoon or evening, when your feet are at their biggest.

be aware!! manolo is like a drug, the more you get the more you want
