Stop spreading misinformation and falsehoods. Men have been squatting in heels for centuries, you're just not comfortable with your body-image like I am, I'm not going to stop wearing heels just because you said. It's good for you balance, like a bosu ball. Bosu balls are for *kitten*, btw.0

I WILL DO ANYTHING IN HEELS
ANYTHING.
Haha!
Squating in heels (or with your heels raised in some fashion, like with a roll mat under your heels) isn't that foreign of a concept.. it works slightly different groups of muscles. However, using heavy weight in combination with it does NOT sound very safe. If you want to squat in heels, stick to your body weight or light weights.0 -
I ripped my knee up squatting in heels at my desk trying to throw out a cupcake wrapper...I blame the cupcake.0

I saw a pic of some ditz doing that. That is just terrifying! The thought of the heel of the shoe breaking is bad enough, but rolling the ankle... Yikes! I did that in flats getting out of my car in the rain and was in a boot for a month. I still get out of my car extra carefully.0

high heals offer way to stable of a platform to get a good core workout. What you need to use is a swiss ball

I need someone to help me with my hair, so the ponytail lays nicely over the bar, instead of pinned under the bar making moving my head impossible.0 -
I've never had any issues squatting in high heels.0

OMG, I just clenched every muscle in my body with fear...0 -
Do people really squat heavy in high heels? Really? I'm a fairly regular heel wearer, and I cannot imagine putting a bar loaded with weights onto my back and squatting in heels!
Sadly, yes - I've seen pictures.
I couldn't imagine it - honestly. I used to squat in regular fitness shoes (with extra padding in the heels) and found myself feeling unstable. So I got a pair of Chuck Taylor's and now feel great!
The image of someone rolling their ankle's just made mine start aching. Great - thanks.
I'm going to try this in my Chucks. I'm having a hard time keeping my balance on Bulgarian split squats.
chucks work well for lifting! i use my vibrams0 -
Thank god I read this. And, not a moment too soon !0

All I can imagine is a chick with 100+ lbs on the bar at the bottom of the squat and her rolling her ankle inward. BOOM PAIN! Oh god my palms are sweating just thinking about it.
I just hyperventilated.
No. Just no.0 -
