    Okay I wobble even in little stilettos!!! I am so clumsy. But, they're cute, so I wear them anyway, even though I fall over sometimes :) ha ha ha oh the sacrifices we girls make for looks!!

    I love high heels. Especially wedges. Since I'm 5'1 (and 18), I'm extremely short for my age-IMO. But I do the majority wear Converse. If it's like grocery shopping, I wear Converse. If it's like a date, high heels. It depends on the situtation.

    *That awkward moment when I decided to be girly and ended up going into Hot Topic because of the Hunger Games t-shirt. Everyone was staring at me.*

    I LOVE to wear heels. I was a Ballroom dancer for 2 years and I had to dance in 2 inch heels. The highest heels I have are only 4 1/2 inch but that puts me at the same height as my hubby.

    I even wore heels when I was pregnant and had several people tell me that I made liars out of them because thay had told someone else (daughter/friend) that they had never seen a pregnant woman in heels and here I was 9 months along walking around in 4 1/2 inch heels.

    Just practice, practice, practice and it will get easier. :smile:

    I used to ALWAYS wear heels, and then I decided to get comfortable. You can usually find me in sneakers or birkenstocks (yeah, I'm a hippie). That being said, I do LOVE heels. I own at least 20 pairs, and will wear them when going out with friends. I wish I could rock them all day, but I work in scrubs and sneaks.

    Nope, not in a sexy way at least. I feel like I look slightly tipsy when I wear high heels and walk around in them. Low heels and flats are what I cling to.

    When it is absolutely necessary to dress up I can and do. But generally no, I have wide feet and almost no heels will work for me, even in wide, the ones I do squeeze into are usually painful and hard to get through a day in. I choose comfortable shoes like wide tennis shoes, Birkenstocks, or sandals with one wide strap across the top that are adjustable with velcro.

    Back in the 60s and 70s, I could have run a marathon in 4" heels. Maybe that's why I can't wear them anymore! Feet ruined from that, and a profession where I was on my feet 10-12 hours a day for 40 years. Must admit, I liked the attention of being 6' tall in heels.

    I wish I could walk in heels. First I'm 5'9 1/2 and my hubby is 5'10" so if I wear them I'm taller. Second I've never really tried that often so I am unsure of myself in them. I feel like a linebacker walking! hahaha

    Any suggestions, because I love the look of them. Sexy and classy.

    I am 5'8" and wear heels. I dont feel odd wearing them, even if I am taller than my date.

    And the sexier the heels, the more comments I get from men and women. Usually goes like, WOW those shoes are amazing!! No one has ever said, DAMN you are a tall girl! LOL

    Embrace your height! I'm 5'5" and if my heels are less than 4 inches I feel like I'm on the ground. Heels can dress up anything...I've definitely been enjoying them a lot more recently than before and am actualy buying at least 4-5 pairs a month...I haven't even begun to count the amount I have. It's a terrible (awesome) sickness.

    Not anymore :-(

    Nothing over 1 " or I seriously cannot walk at all. My ankle is all screwed up from multiple surgeris and cannot tolerate that position. I miss my heels like caaaaaaraaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzy.

    I laugh when I hear women say "they're really comfortable!" Seriously? How can you possibly be comfortable when you are teetering forward all day long! Heels (especially stilettos) are terrible on the back & knees...and can actually cause damage to your feet, if worn every day/all day!
    I have no arch...so therefore..no heels for me! I can get away with a small wedge, but that's about it. I like to be comfortable!
    I have a friend who wears stilettos all the time...she let me try them on one day....I almost fell forward! I asked her, "how do you NOT fall over in these things?" She laughed at me. Maybe cause she knew I was on to something..lol
    I'm not dissing on heels........I just don't see how a shoe, with a tiny little heel that's 4-6" high, and absolutely NO SUPPORT, can be comfortable?

    Funny enough, I just bought a pair of boots with 3 inch heels last night. I've never been able to walk in heels, but these have a decently thick one and for some reason they just work for me. I'm almost 5'10'' with them on and it's awesome.

    Practice, practice, practice!!!

    I :heart: wearing heels. I feel super sexy and they make me stand out ( I am 5'8" barefoot).
    It does take some getting used to, but with time you will be a sexy heel strutting queen!

    YUM:

    Also wearing platforms gives you the illusion of a higher heel but really its about a 3-4" heel. The platform at the toe is key . Go try on some !

    With the right size and style any heel can be worn comfortably :happy:

    I would love love love to wear heals but any time I get a pair I think are comfortable and go out in them I regret it withinin 15mins.

    My feet just get so sore, mainly the ball of my foot. :(

    Practice, but keep your legs strong and your calves stretched out enough to allow you to wear other shoe styles.

    I wore heels daily, for years, when I was in the military. I finally quit when I had a job requiring me to walk up and down a long hill a couple of times a day. I overcame my vanity and learned to appreciate lower heels. Now, I only wear heals for dress-up occasions.

    My 90-year-old mother-in-law has worn only heels all of her adult life. At this point, she is unable to walk without at least 2-inch heels. That poses a huge problem when trying to purchase slippers to wear around the house. Finding nylon stockings made to be worn with garter belts is another challenge. The last ones I found were on a website I think was directed at "women-of-the-night." I can only hope high-heel slippers and old-time stockings make a come-back before she needs more. That could happen. I never thought the hip-hugger, bell-bottomed slacks I loved in the early 70's would be back, but I'm wearing them again.

    I love heels!!! Platform heels preferably... They give you more balance and support for your feet more than stiletto's do... I also love wedges... I can walk, strut, and run in heels :wink:

    I sold ladies shoes for about 7 years, 4 of those at Nordstrom. I tried a few on :smokin:

    I wear size 12 MENS shoes, so I don't often wear heels. I am incredibly awkward and hubby always teases me, but he does enjoy them in the bedroom. :blushing: I don't have to walk very far if we're in the bedroom!
