    Hello!! I'm 5'9" - I do love to wear heels although get a little upset having to bend down to talk to my smaller mates lol!! I'm a UK 6 in shoes so I guess I've got small feet?!

    5'10. The boyfriend is an inch shorter (though he'll never admit to it). I own heels and he doesn't mind if I wear them, but I never wear them because I'm just a jeans and sweatshirt (and sneakers) kind of girl.

    I'm the shorty of the family as well, the sister and sister in law are around 6 feet so they pick on me :tongue:

    I saw someone was 5'8" in here...it's like being stuck between short and tall. But I feel pretty bada$$ when I wear heels.

    Apparently a UK6 is the equivalent of a US8 in shoes. Like me, do you find that your balance is AWFUL? I feel like my feet should be bigger to accommodate my height.

    Hi! I am 5'10" ... almost 5'11"

    I used to be insecure about my height, but I feel good about it now! I would wear heals, but holy cow, when I take 3 steps I practically topple over!

    Try ankle boots...I love those! My feet STAY in the shoes, instead of going all Cinderella on me.

    Great!!! :drinker: (water)

    There is a group for tall women. :smile:

    I am 5' 9". I loved heels but cease wearing since I put on so much of weight. But now with some lose I am rocking them back. My heels are easily 4". Now that actually put everyone else in odd situation. Well I am an Asian in an Asian country. Generally that makes me a giant.

    COOOOL Sri Lanka!! D

    I can relate to the sentiment of feeling like a "giant" in an Asian land, because I am from Hawaii where the majority of people are either of mixed race ancestry of mostly Asian blood, or are 100% Asian. People are generally very short. I always felt like a stranger in my own land, too, because if you're tall and you 'stand out,' they automatically assume you are from the 'mainland,' or even another country, in my case.

    I am 5'11", have been tall since I was about 5-6 years old (towered over everyone, including all the boys in my classes, until high school), and I love it!! I am a little bummed sometimes that I never made it to 6.' I was once the tallest person in my family, until my 17-year-old brother surpassed me in height. He is 6'2." I think we get it from our Norwegian blood on my father's side.

    Same here had been towering everyone in the family (for a long time until my brother decided to be taller), towering everyone in school, varsity and now in office. I am living in the world of dwarfties!!! No offense. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    6'1" (and a half). I have a hard time rounding up to that 2"!

    I don't wear heels, although the BF loves it. I feel like a drag queen while walking downtown!

    I'm 6'2''. I'm used to it, but I'm sure my 5'4'' partner and I make a funny site, especially when I'm in heels.

    5'10", I never ever wear heels, cause when everyone else is in them and I'm not, makes me feel almost normal height and I'm always glad for it when it comes to having to walk back from the clubs while everyone's barefoot I'm spared having shards of glass stuck in the soles of my feet :)

    I'm 6' even, and have hated it my whole life! I try to avoid heels at all costs, and don't get started on trying to find jeans with a 38" inseam. lol

    5"11! I love wearing heels, but rarely need to. My BF is 6"0 so I don't try to tower over him too often. :-)

    I'm 6 ft 1 and still learning to accept it and find the confidence in me to wear heels as i LOVE high heels and flat shoes are so boring;-) My boyfriend is 6ft 3 and I wish he was taller ;-) like my brother who is 6ft 7!

    5'11" here and love heels. Does anyone else go up a size when going from heels to flats. Most heels fit in a 10, but most flats Ineed an 11 - way harder to find.

    6' and love it! My husband is 6'8". My Dad's 6'10". We have three sons. Can't wait to see how tall they get. They are 7, 11, and 13. Two of them have always been way over the 100th percentile. One is of average height.

    Oh and the heels? Love them. Chunky, wedges-not so much skinny heels though...
