High Heels

Apparently when women wear heels it makes their bums look 'taught and ready for mating'

ROTFL. Holy crap thats funny. I love heels. I wear them around the house. My favorite outfit is my sexy apron with my 4 inch heels for house work, but I dont like to have to wear them. I guess I'm just stubborn like that.

Buy better quality shoes.

The shoes could be the finest quality, but if they have 3-4 inches of heel, they ae going to put pressure where pressure shouldn't be. Inserts and better quality shoes can relieve some of the pain associated with it, but it cannot make wearing heels any easier on our feet in the long run.

As a shortie i love high heels, i don't wear them for work but love them for going out.

Got a gorgeous new pink pair for New Years Eve, had to buy some pads to stick in the front as they were very high. After a few drinks they get slung off when i am dancing anyway! :laugh:

I wear a size 12 shoe and I am flat-footed. Heels are pretty much impossible for me. Plus I'm 5'10" and when I do wear heels (which I can only stand for about 5 minutes), I look like the jolly green giant, lol.

This is me in a nutshell. I'm a size 9 and am extremely flat footed and wide in my feet. I've had people double take at my feet and wonder if a man used to own them. I'm 5'9'' and look insanely tall as well. I prefer kitten heels if I really have to wear a heel and also like boots. Dressy boots make me the happiest.

I wish I could even find boots that are dressy. Since I'm a 12 I usually have to wear mens shoes....*groan*

Nordstrom Rack. They have up up to size 13.

Then why doesn't it hurt me at all?

(i didn't mean that schnarky - just curious)

No pain does not necessarily mean no damage.

I wear heels occasionally, pain-free, but with all of the issues they are known to cause, I don't recommend wearing them everyday.

My mother is a Podiatrist. You'd be surprised how much damage a woman could have with out even realizing it. It does not happen from one night of wearing them- but your feet do need recovery time.

No heels for me. I want to be comfortable more than I want to be sexy.

Friend of mine always wore these huge spikes. Can't wear them now. They wrecked her back.

interesting. I wear them (90% of the time) about 9-10 hours / day, M-F, for the past 15 or so years. I wonder if I'm going to end up having problems.

OH! l love, love, love me some heels! You just have to make sure you get the right fit and style and they can be comfy too!

also have realized they are easier to wear with the less i weigh! i've always loved them but sometimes felt self conscience in them. which was made worse when i was trying on a pair and a sales lady said a girl my size shouldn't try wearing them. i told here i didn't have to walk in them i just had to keep them in the air when i'm on my back with the hubbie, blew her hateful little mind. another story about heels ,when i was wearing a pair a male friend committed he loved them but his wife couldn't wear them, he said "she'd punch holes in the concrete!"

love my metoo (lamb) from DSW. 4 inch heel with platform and comfortable. The thickness of the heel helps stabilize the foot and makes it ultra comfy and they are hot as hell!

I WANT THESE!!!!! :flowerforyou:

I'm so jealous of you high arched ladies.I'm pretty much flat footed but i love my heels.but after a couple hours of wearing 4 inchers i want to cry.Well i have actually cried before from my feet hurting so bad.lol And i have inserts but i always forget to use them!duh lol

Buy better quality shoes.

I really think this makes a huge difference. Buying $35 heels vs $100 heels....

There really is a difference in quality and comfort. Now this isn't true 100% of the time, but for the most part it is. It can get pricey, but if you at least make 1 quality purchase for a really good classic heel that can be worn with many different outfits it will be worth it. If you take care of them too, you can slowly but surely build up a good collection.

Either way, be strategic when you wear them. Wear the right pair for the right occasion based on whether you know you will be walking around a lot, standing in one place, or sitting.

Also, anybody else think wearing heels gets easier with alcohol? With the right dosage you won't even feel it... not that I always drunkenly run around in heels...that can also be a recipe for disaster....lol!

Kenneth Cole and Steve Madden make comfortable heels.

Maybe yes, maybe no, the body is one mysterious thing. My grandma has smoked her whole life and her doctor says her lungs are awesome. So maybe you are in that 5% lucky group. Just be careful and maybe go for a visit for your feet and spine.

Heels I can live with. The man who invented panty hose needs to be strung up with a pair of them...

Does anyone remember stockings held up by garter belts? So sexy! Also you can still buy thigh highs and they're much sexier than panty hose...and far more comfortable.

exactly this. And the Dr Scholls things are a life saver. Someone asked about open toes... cant even see em!
