Walk on them? I can RUN on them.

 

[ame]

I can stand on them. But moving, not a chance. I remember telling my husband around my 29th birthday that by the time I was 30 I wanted to be able to wear and walk in heels. I am well into my mid-30s and that's still not happening. I wear f'ing converse nearly daily.

Yes! Me too; that said, I did run 5 blocks in my Gucci stilettos this spring (late for Grad...)...and had a marvellous lower hip/backache! I think if they been my Zanotti (platform)pumps, I'd have been fine!!

cheers--Sharon

They look better than men do.

No youtube videos of me! I might have political aspirations one day, I can't afford any damaging pics or videos out there! Hahaha!

Yes I wear them daily. I can't imagine wearing flats. But that's cause I am 5'4 and I like the Xtra height heels give me. And no mine are not 6 inch heels , more like 3 or so.. Conservative. I started this ages ago when my kids started being taller than me..

Now I should just give it up. Son is 6'3 and DD is 5'9. I grow them tall...

 

[sonnyjane]

When I used to work in an office, I wore stilettos all day without issue. When I changed careers to one where I wear tennis shoes, I lost my tolerance for heels. After about an hour I'm in a lot of pain, whereas I used to be able to jog in them lol. The pain doesn't stop me from wearing them though I love the way I look in them - plus with a 4 inch heel, I'm almost 6 feet tall and I like that for some weird reason. I always wished I was a bit taller (I'm about 5'8", but 5'10" would be my dream height).

 

[KaeKae]

At 5'2", high heels definitely can give me a boost, in confidence, as well as height. But because I've always worked with kids (preschool or special needs) I've never been a daily wearer of high heels. Last year, I worked with older elementary students with higher functioning autism, and was able to wear the occasional 1 to 2 inch heel. I loved it. But, I had foot surgery in late July and haven't worn anything but sneakers or very sensible (flat) shoes since. The screw comes out of my foot late next month. Maybe I can try a lower heel again by Valentine's Day? Or Easter, maybe Easter. I miss my heels but I want good feet even more.

 

[jaysonsmom]

I wear 3-4" heels to work everyday nothing higher. I'm already 5'7", but I feel powerful when I wear heels because I can look at most of the male execs straight in the eye with my heels on. Funny thing is, once I'm off of work, I wear flats or very low 1-2" heels because I don't want to tower over dh who is only 1" taller than me. It's no wonder I have over 60 pairs of shoes, half for work, and the other for non-work events.

Love Fluevog. So many shoes, so little time.

Oh, and yes, love heels. I think every woman looks better in heels. They're magic and have the power to make us feel (and look) oh so sexy.

 

[Jennifer W]

Nope. I look ridiculous in them, like I've assumed a voluntary disability. For me, high heel shoes are perverse, foolish and just a little bit (ok, a lot) comical. I can't pull 'em off.

I have to respectfully but emphatically disagree on both counts.

 

[zoebartlett]

I've never worn a pair of heels in my life. Nothing over 1" anyway.

 

[JewelFreak]

Two studies -- one just came out yesterday -- show how bad heels 3" or higher are for your feet, in the long term. I can definitely confirm! Used to wear them every day to work for years & years -- and my feet are a wreck. I haven't worn them for about 8 yrs but walking is dang painful still, due to weird feet. If I had it to do over, I'd probably wear them anyway & be sorry anyway.

 

[diamondringlover]

Back in the day when I was a teenager and in my 20's and 30's I wore them, loved those 3-4 spiked heels...still love the way they look, but I have not wore heels in probably 8-10 years, other then when I had to really dress up which is very rare...now I cant wear them I have heel spurs and wearing heels hurts my feet

 

[QueenB29]

I damaged the balls of my feet from high heels and spent a fortune at a podiatrist before I even graduated college, but that doesn't stop me Now I just make sure to have a pair of flats if I'm going to be walking more than a few hundred feet at a time. My office recently moved and I now drive, but our old building was a 10-15 minute walk from a Metro stop. I used to keep about 20 pairs of heels under my desk to change into when I got to work My go-to weekend shoes are usually a pair of black ballet flats though.

 

[Tanzigrrl]

I wear 3-4" heels every day. I love them, I can walk in them, and if I really, really had to, I probably could run in them!

 

[stargurl78]

I very rarely wear heels. I have 2 pairs of really good quality black patent leather heels because the cheap ones just hurt my feet way too much and I only wear my heels if I'm going out. For work I wear flats, but like Ame, I'm usually rocking the Converse...

 

[Tuckins1]

You bet

However, they are not practical for day to day (i'm a teacher). But on a special day, I love a good pair of heels!

 

[Lottie]

I love a pair of killer heels and super high boots too. pre children I could have run a lap around a field in them but now I wear them so rarely that it takes me half an hour to get my confidence fully back. My husband is super tall so the higher the better for me when I do!

 

[minmin001]

I look good in them since I'm so short and need all the help I can get. but can I walk in them? I don't stand a chance..

 

[somethingshiny]

Yes, I can walk in them. I can't full-on sprint, but I can carry a decent jog in them too. That is, unless they exceed 3", then there's only walking. The other night, DH and I went to dinner and it was Homecoming night for the teenagers. We were walking into a fancy restaurant (in my heels) and DH was laughing at the young girls trying to stay upright in theirs. He said, "Oh, you do it so easily so I never thought it was that hard." lol

 

[Octavia]

I don't like really high heels and don't feel safe in them, but I do wear 2-2.5" heels daily for work. Mainly because all my trousers are hemmed for that length, so I have to buy shoes that match it! I'm only 5'2" so I do like the extra height and it makes me feel more polished and professional. When I'm not at work, though, I usually wear sneakers or cute (i.e. not clog-style) Crocs.

You're almost my shoe twin

I'm 5' 7 1/2" - hubby is 5'9".

I pretty much always wear at least 4" heels at work (unless I'm on site - then its safety boots poo! ) and love looking the males straight in the eye, but almost never wear heels when out with hubby cos I feel uncomfortable if I'm taller than him. (I also have 60+ pairs of shoes split fairly evenly to heels and flats).


DF - To answer your original question..... I cant say for sure that I look good in high heels (you'd have to ask others that question) but I can say for sure I FEEL great in high heels and yes I can walk in them (I can even jog in them)

 

[jstarfireb]

Oh, and yes, love heels. I think every woman looks better in heels. They're magic and have the power to make us feel (and look) oh so sexy.

Big ditto! I was emphatically against heels when I was younger. I used to think they were a way for the patriarchy to bring women down by making us uncomfortable and making it hard to move. Then I realized they're actually not all that uncomfortable (for me at least). A lot of my heels are more comfortable than flats. And I feel so much taller, sexier, and more powerful when I wear them.

However, I do think you're talking about 2 different questions. Do you look good in heels? Sure, we all do. Can you walk in heels? Totally different question! That takes some practice.

 

[TravelingGal]

Since I lost some weight, I'll wear them for special occasions. And I'm fine to wear a very comfy wedge sandal these days.

But stilettos, no, don't wear those anymore. Any heel I do wear has to be VERY comfortable. As I get older, I'm aware my body is starting to groan and moan here a bit...and I realize that I (hopefully) have a long life to live. I can't imagine having foot pain...that would be unbearable. So I do what I can to make sure my feet stay healthy and happy.

Generally, because I work from home, I wear shoes maybe an hour a day when I go out or work out. It's nice to generally be shoe free all the time!!!
