They always say the higher the heel, the better your butt looks
But I DONT CARE... I prefer flip flops lol
But I will wear the heels when I need too!0 -
I can wear a 3 inch wedge high heeled sandal made by Crocs. It is VERY comfy but I do frequently walk like a calf in it. I generally stick to sneakers and flat Crocs. My feet get very achy otherwise.
Wait... hold the phone!! Crocs made a wedge sandal.... what I am imagining is not pretty...0 -

If only I knew how to walk in heels. I am one of those baby does taking their first steps whenever I wear them! hahah0

I am over 6' tall, with size twelve feet. I can buy my shoes locally in ONE place - payless.
Payless takes their average shoe with the average heel and just enlarges it.. which enlarges the heel.
Which often changes a 2" heel in size 7 to a 3.5" heel in size 12.
And a 3" heel in size seven to a 4.5" heel.
So, when I go into look at my selection, I see about a dozen pairs with a 4" heel, and then ugly fuzzy slippers. Or crappy flip flops.
Often times.. I have to take the heel.
But that's ok... Cuz I rock it!
And Mirey Gal is HOT. Rock those heels grrl! I wear a 12 too so I totally identify.
:smooched: thank you!0 -
I'm a guy who doesn't understand high heels.
Short is cute; tall is manly.
What a dumb statement0 -

Short is cute; tall is manly. And since about 1% of women can actually walk in heels and not look ridiculous, the chances are you are not one of them.
I think you should re-evaluate the tall=manly thing. Have you seen Miranda Kerr recently? Or any model for that matter?
PS: I'm short, and can walk...nay DANCE like a champ in heels. Seriously. I teach a dance class in 5 inch stiletos.0 -
I envy girls who can wear heels! :sad:
I wear a prosthetic leg and already look awkward walking with a slight limp. If I wore heels it would be a huge disaster for me. (Hush puppies are my dress shoe friends)0 -
I like to wear heels in all heights, from $1 store flip flops to 6 inch black patent. Shoes are entirely dependent on occasion.
Shoes used to make me happy. I haven't actually purchased a pair of shoes that weren't flip flops or athletic in almost 2 years, but I did enough damage in the previous decade to last a while.0 -
I'm 5'10'' and don't need extra height, I don't walk gracefully in high heels, have never worn a comfortable pair. I do like the look when someone pulls them off though.
Something in here reminds me of this: from "Let's watch some porn and have wild sex"/privacy of home to "Oh my god those lowly people working in the porn industry, let's all behave like better humans"/Sunday church. Nasty superiority.0 -
I'm 5'10". I don't need the height. I wear them because they are pretty And, well, longer legs are never a bad thing....0

sorry but they look like orthopedic wedges. no sexy.0 -
I'm short even with heels and I do like being taller with them. When I wear them it's mostly to work because they complete the outfit. Some of my pants just don't look right with flats. Often the same reason with a dress or skirt also. About the only time I don't wear heels is with shorts, jeans or capris.0

I’m always curious about what the opposite sex is thinking. What's up with high heels?
I'm curious as to what characteristics make a high heel go from sexy tasteful to whorey skanktastic in a milisecond. Is it the height of the heel? The color? The straps?
Why do women sacrifice comfort to wear these contraptions?
No clue I am 5'9 so never needed to wear them -shrugs-0 -

This is mine. I fell in love with the color and get compliments on them ALL THE TIME. They are super comfy and I have them in black, too.

No worries. I'm not trying to look sexy. I think they look nice - we all have different tastes. What other people consider "sexy" cause my feet to cry out in pain. I am happy to have a fun pair of heels I can wear instead of sneakers and flats all the time. I'm a big Crocs fan, because they helped me tremendously when I had plantar fasciitis and could not walk in ANYTHING but Crocs.
So I'm partial to them. And grateful for them. Would I wear them to a fancy dress dinner? Of course not, but they look nice with jeans or a sundress.0 -

Sexy is how you carry yourself, and it's ENTIRELY possible to look sexy in those.
and... It's a lot better than most of the options I have!0 -
i wear them occasionally. they make my legs and *kitten* look nice.0

I very rarely wear high heels, I am far more comfortable in flat shoes. if i do wear heels, the SO makes me pack a pair of flats otherwise I get incredibly whingey.
I will wear heels if the occasion calls for it but I love boots, smart trainers and pumps best of all. I'm okay with being short.0 -
As a work of art, a high-heel shoe can be beautiful. I have never, ever, at any age, at any weight, been able to wear them. I cannot even stand up in them. It feels like an elephant is standing on my toes! The pressure on my toenails is unbelievable. I am told, "you have to get used to them." I refuse to subject myself to pain even ONE time. Those torture chambers can stay right there in the stores, where they belong, and I will admire them from afar.0

Man, this advice about walking in heels really makes we wonder why we put ourselves through it i.e. sit as often as possible, stand on one foot then the other to relieve pressure, take smaller steps, don't wear them too often or you'll get bunions... http://www.wikihow.com/Walk-in-High-Heels
After starting yoga, I did stop with the 4 and 5 inch heels as I realised the tension they were putting into my calves and how they screwed up my posture. But I still wear 3ish inch heels to work about 2-3 times a week. As I'm mainly sitting down in them and I am careful to chose fairly comfy ones (Clarks, M & S Footglove) I think they're fine.
I also wear them on the odd occasion that I'm out at a social event that doesn't involve lots of walking. Or for very formal events i.e. Ascot races, weddings - if necessary I take flat shoes and change at the event.
I do think they look good with work outfits and help to add a touch of formality or dressiness.0 -
"Hooker Heels" are the ones with the platform and the stilletto...ankle strap is optional.
Tasteful heels do exist. Heels that don't hurt your feet exist. *shrug* I used to LIVE in heels, and my calves were AMAZING. Since I have stopped wearing them on a daily basis, my calves have turned to mush. There *are* advantages.0 -
I love a woman in heels.0

As a petite woman, heels are my life saver! On a normal day I don't wear heels, I will only wear them if I'm going out at night or something.
I love heels they're sooo pretty.0 -
I dunno mate.
I wonder that myself too.
Once, I watched a girl stumbling over the cobbles in Covent Garden. I think that was the point where I decided I'm not wearing them anymore. Took the poor girl ten minutes to wobble across the square and I feared for her ankles. When I did use to wear them, I can honestly say everytime I went out with my friends whilst wearing big heels I fell over *at least* once during the night and always came home with a bruise, graze and ripped tights.
Get rid of the cobblestones. lol
I just like wearing them ever since I wore my first pair at 15. I just love the way I feel in them.0 -
Some women(at least me) don't use words like "whorey" or "skantastic" because it is stupid and very insulting.
I don't wear heels much, depends on the occasion. I hate heels in bright, neon colors and ones with platform.0 -
when to wear heels...
ONLY if you can actually walk in them. ( i am always amazed at women who can actually dance in them).
If they don't make you look trashy (unless that is your business).
If they make you look trashy (yes I'm a hypocrite!).
In bed.
If you are short..
If you are really tall.
Oh hell....
You can wear them in a car, you can wear them in a bar,
You can wear them here and there, you can wear them everywhere (but see the first item)!0 -
