Tall girls and stilettos

I'm 5'9'' and I absolutely love wearing heels! They make you 20 pounds slimmer in an instant! The only problem is me already being so tall.. I tend to make friends with really small people, lol. That makes me kind of self consious about my height..

What do you guys think when you see a really tall girl in a pair of killer heels?

    5ft10 and my heels are always skyscraper. Though, i prefer a wedge or sturdy heel to a stilletto...less obvious. And my friends are all petite so i tend to look like some kind of amazonian haha

    Also, does anyone find they attract alot of older men and really short men???? I hate this!! :huh:

    And it's about how they make you feel!! It's not quite the same rocking it on the dancefloor in flats. You feel kind of "frumpy" :frown:
    Amittedly, after one too many the majority are less likely to take a tumble but i fall over sober so...lol

    My favorite pair is a wedge and i think i could run a marathon in them. I just bought a new pair of skyscraper stilettos so i'll probably fall on my face too! haha

    5'11 and I definitely don't wear stilettos and avoid high heels as much as I can, I don't wear flats either. I love my feet, tendons and spine.
  • im 5'7 which isnt that tall compared to you guys i suppose but i feel freakishly tall when wearing heels because i usually tower over men..but now....i dont care and i like being tall!

    Tall women scare me and I don't know why.

    Not under 6ft but, those 6ft3 and over. I start to panic, etc
  • btw, thank you for all the great responses. I feel better knowing i'm not the only tall girl wearing heels ;)
  • One of my best friends (who is a girl) is 6'5 and a red head and she's gotten to the point where she's just not bothered, if you act like your not bothered there other people won't unless they have nothing better to do =) xx

    I find it odd that tall women that complain about short men would continue to wear heels. So, your man needs to be at least 4" taller than you or do you cut guys slack that are 0-4" shorter than when u wear heels?

    Hah, this is a great point. Personally i don't expect a guy to be taller than me when i wear heels. I would be really nice, but not necessary at all.

    I'm jealous. My 4 in heels get me to 5' 6". I'm just trying to catch up to you gals. Can't get any higher as falling down because your heels are too high is never an attract look. If I was taller I'd still rock the heels, nothing like the perfect pair of stilettos to finish an outfit.

    I was going to say... Lol if u already tall girls wanted a guy to be taller than you with heels, you might want to start hanging around basketball courts! Probably already hard enough to find a good guy that is at least your height. I do admit, I feel a limitless weird when my wife puts on tall heels. There are rules to some things right? I'm bald, I don't wear visors. Fat guys don't wear medium shirts and tall girls shouldn't wear 4" heels. Lol

    I guess that all depends on how you feel. I don't wear heels because i would like to be taller, i wear them cause i love beautiful shoes (and damn, heels are beautiful). It would be kind of unfair that just cause you're tall you have to limit your options. I guess what i'm really trying to say: you should be able to wear whatever you want and rock it. Theoretically speaking ;) I don't even know where guys came in the picture, lol

    I'm not super tall (I'm 5'7") but I still wear heels no matter how tall they are. If I were 4 inches taller, I'd still wear them. I don't have a problem with feeling taller than everyone else. And if anyone feels small next to me, that's not my insecurity, it's theirs, I stand proud.

    Agreed, I like beautiful shoes too :happy:


    And I'm sorry but yes i am heightest haha I don't mind too much if they are same height as me but in flats I really would like them to be at least my height but a little taller is best. I know men can't help if they weren't born with the tall gene but I find it freaky when I see really tall women with short men I want a guy who makes me feel small and feminine :wink:

    No, there aren't rules about what kind of shoes tall women can wear, and if there were, it wouldn't be up to YOU to make the rules.
