    I walk at least a mile in heels almost every day. Sometimes more.

    That's gotta be good for my feet, right? :ohwell:

    Not so much for your feet, but it's great for your butt!! LOL I wear 3-4" heels every day to work and run up and down 4 flights of stairs in them... no problem. Love the way I look and feel in heels. I am 5'5" and with the heels tower over most of the women I work with. It's a bit of a power trip to have everyone looking up at you. :bigsmile:

    I'm 5'9" and I wear up to 6" platform stilettos. I just don't give a ****. Amazon pride.

    I am 5'9" as well and love 6" heels. I feel statuesque in them!

    I just made a new friend.

    I love heels! I'm 5'7" and I still walk around in 5 inch heels sometimes. As long as they're comfortable (And it is possible to find comfortable heels) then I love it!

    I walk two miles in heels every day! Sometimes more! I have high arches so they're more comfortable than flats, though there is a limit to how high I can go. If you're not comfortable in heels, or you have to practice in order to not fall over in them, you probably don't have the right kind of feet/legs for them. Or you're picking ones that are just too high.

    My problem is shoes with backs that end just above the heel-- most pumps, sneakers, and ballet flats fall into this category. They rub and rub against my ankle until it's raw and bleeding. Does anyone else have this problem? Usually I just stick with boots and shoes that don't have backs.

    I don't think anyone replied to this or maybe it got lost in the thread. Surely I'm not the only one who can't wear shoes with backs? I'd love to find a solution to this problem-- it rules out a lot a shoes!

    No.
    or at least, not very well, from what I'm told.

    But yet for some reason, I own 36 pairs of heels.

    I'm also 5'7", my guy is 6'. I always feel funny if I'm almost as tall as him...

    HOWEVER! He said once I do finally learn how to properly walk in them, he'll buy me a pair of these bad boys:

    Yes, and I can dance in em too. When you're 5'1, there isn't any other way to walk....

    I can. But working at home and no social life =no chance to wear them. I was so happy to wear them at a concert a few weeks ago! Sad.

    I can, I just feel silly in them. I mean, I have NO WHERE to wear 4" stilettos... :( It'd look crazy to wear them to WalMart.

    I'm 5'8" and I wear heels all the time. They have to have at least a 4" heel, and even as much as 6. I own like 4 pairs of flat shoes and about 60 pairs of heels lol. I'm really good at walking in all types of heels since I do it so often.

    I used to love wearing heels, for work , going out to dinners, dancing whatever! But now, being a new mama, I dont find them very practical. Im hoping to get back into it because they make u feel hot and tall, cuz im only 5'6 !

    I'm 5'3" and LOVE my heels! I naturally walk on my toes, so it's just easier for me to walk in heels. I own anything from 3" to 8" heels, light up stripper heels too. Can run in most of them too if needed.

    Barely. I stick with flip-flops and bare feet as often as I can. Heels make tree-climbing so difficult.

    I wear heels 5 days a week. The MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do is to make sure that they're comfortable and supportive. And be sure to give your feet a break when you can. Heels can be bad for your feet. "Cute" comes after that... And once you find your perfect shoe (for me, I can always rely on a Nine West 8-1/2M), then get them in every color!

    Not only can I walk in heels, I can downright run in them.

    I've found that the heels MUST fit properly to be comfortable to walk in... too sloppy a fit and I feel unstable.

    Also... it's HEEL - TOE... not tippy toe. Let the hips swing a bit. Feel the sexy.

    I can run in my heels, they fit so well.
