I DEFINITELY wear high heels, and even platform heels at times - the higher, the better! I'm 5'9. It's really all about the shoe, though, and I definitely wear kitten heels and sandals a lot, too. I worry that some flats can make my feet look big ( I'm a size 12), so I'm careful with them.
I used to be really self conscious about my height, but now I like it, and I've experienced some definite comradery among other tall women, which is awesome : ) As far as guys are concerned, playing up on how leggy you are as a tall lady pays definite dividends : )
