    I am 6 foot even. I never wear heels because I have never had good knees and they tend to pop out of place. I love being tall. I get to help people at grocery stores to reach the stuff on the top shelf and friends can easily spot me in a crowd of people. The only negative thing to being tall is finding pants that fit and are fashionable.

    I am 5'-8 1/4". :D and I never wear heels...I always hated being tall because I 'stood out', but i've learned to love it. But heels are just too much :)

    5'11" and I wear 4" heels whenever I can. I work in an almost all male office and I tower over all but my GM he and I see eye to eye when I wear heels.

    :happy: I am 5'7. I love heels, but my feet take a break in the summer because I love flip flops too!

    I'm 6'0 and I love heels and wedge shoes. I can't wear heels alot because I have bad disc in my back. It's a shame that I already have a bad back being that I'm only 31. I love being tall and wouldn't trade it for anything

    5'11"... and definitely not afraid to pull out heels. Though, anything over 3" feels intimidating to ME... from a coordination perspective! I frequent 3" heels. I figure, if I am already 5'11", what's the difference if I am 6'2"???

    I am proudly 6'1" - at 54 years of age, a bit unusual for my generation. Love my cowboy boots (2 1/2" heels ) everyday - and 3" + heels when I dress up.

    5'9.5" and wear up to 2 inch heels. I wish I could wear the taller shoes but I'm not coordinated enough. My best friend is 4'11.5" so I tower over her all the time.

    5 ft 10 in

    I do not wear heals over 2 inches or so. More because after wearing combat boots for six years in the military my foot just don't like them.

    5'10, and I'd love to wear heels more often but not only are all my friends short (which I admit isn't that much of an issue when you've got enough confidence :)) I lack the places to wear them! I'll just have to wait until I'm a tad older!

    I'm 5'10". I am on my feet all day at work, so heels for me are seldom.

    I'm somewhere between 5'11 and 6' I'm not entirely sure. Although it seems every guy I know that claims he's 6' is shorter than me... The only time I ever liked being tall was when I played volleyball in highschool, besides that I hate it. My boyfriend is just a hair shorter than me thankfully, it doesn't bother him at all but it embarrasses me. I have social anxiety so anything that makes me stand out (or above) is a massive negative in my world.I'm trying to hate it less, but it's not the easiest thing to do. I also hate having big feel (size 12) is incredibly difficult to find so I wear men's sneakers and men's flip flops pretty exclusively. Anyone think they can teach me to embrace my height?

    I'm 5'9" and ever since I saw how my calves look in heels these days, I may start being more heel-friendly haha!

    I'm 5 feet 11.5. I don't wear heals often but it's fun when I do because I tower over everyone!

    I'm 5'9 and when I'm out and about (and not in uniform), I'm usually in 4" - 5.5" heels. My hubby is 6'5 so I forget that we are Jolly Green Giants, til I go out with my friends and tower over everyone. LOL :laugh: Nice to meet other tall ladies! :wink:

    I like to say I'm 5'12 :D But yeah pretty damn tall. I can't say I'm fond of it though. Everyone tells me to embrace it all the time, but it sucks when you're always towering over everyone, even men!

    Guys usually exaggarate at least an inch or two! I promise- my husbands best friend claims he is 5'10 and he is clearly NOT!

    5'9".
    As a teen, when I'd get angry at my mom, I'd put her bowls up in the top of the cabinets because she's only 5'4".
