I love heels too.  I'm 6'1", so I usually wear 2 to 3" heels.  I'd love to wear 6"!  I can wear heels for much of the day without difficulty, but most of the time I wore flats when I was out.
Hey Linda, like you I "donated" all my clothes and shoes some time ago.  I'm building the wardrobe back up again and heels are definitely on the list!

Being 6'1" also, this was a serious issue I had to work through. I absolutely love heels, and I tend to wear them every day. I hate flats, having been socially required to wear them for 38 years. They just make me feel too... boy. Not to mention that most of the female style flats make my feel look like boats, which heels do not. But yes, they certainly draw attention. Being passable helps quite a bit, but it's still an issue you have to work past. Wear what you like, I say, and ignore what people think. You'll be more confident in clothing you are comfortable in.

I love 'em

I remember putting on my first pair of heels and trying to walk without looking like
I have lost all control of my legs  :laugh:

Now if there is a sale, watch out credit card its spending time, I now have more heels
than my GF.....crazzzy!

These are my favorite ones to wear, however the red ones which are 4" are difficult to
wear for long periods. The ruffo's on the left are the shoes I have to have, it is already my
third pair... oh how I love those shoes.



One thing that I noticed is that the heels really helped me to perfect my walk.

Hmmm! I wonder if there is a sale going on right now :eusa_think:

At first I was afraid to wear heels. Then I found a pair of shoes that I just love. They are much easier to walk in than I expected. Now I'm thinking about getting more  :laugh:

Heels are joy, Im getting through that nervous am-I-going-to-stack-it-any-second-now feeling and can relax my hips enough to give them abit more sway.
I have about 10 pairs but only one or two are comfortably worn in so far!! My favourite is a pair of 4 inch black knee-high boots.
Open toe are evil  >:-)

Right now, I have two sets of heels - one that is open-toe (basically a lot of straps attached to a heel) and one that is a set of knee-high boots, which I love.  ESPECIALLY with the way the weather keeps shifting here.

I'm looking at getting one more set of boots from a friend - red and black patent leather ones that would go well for a fetish night more than anything else, but I also know just where to wear them at :)

Nicole, those heels on the left in your pic are sweet!  I've always liked that kind, but I don't even know what that style of shoe is called.  Heck, I've never even worn girl shoes before...

I might not know the first thing about clothes or shoes, but I know I want a pair of those :)

Hi Kaitlyn,

Those are MUDD Ruffo's. I did buy them at a shoe store called SHOE DEPT but I had to search a little.
(guess they are sorta popular around my area and not the easiest shoe to find)

anyway if you goto mymuddworld.com, the shop link lists the stores that sell
MUDD brand shoes.  I don't wear dresses that often, mostly stretch flare jeans. L.E.I.
is my favorite and those style shoes compliment the jeans oh so well.

  Happy shoe shopping

   *hugs* Nicole

Oh, I SO hope I can get them in my size... their "squee!" factor is off the charts.

I have a thing for really expensive designer heels. Christian Louboutin oh dear.  ;D

I prefer a pair of wedges.  Much more comfy to walk around in, but still look good with a skirt.

Love AND hate 'em, as most of the others have indicated. With some outfits I find them absolutely necessary, though, because I'm proportionally long-waisted and the extra leg length balances the look. So what if they make me 6' 2"? Being beautiful is all about compromises  ;).

I love heels (as much as I can without ever having worn them), but I'm worried that I'll have a hard time finding any women's shoes in my size.  I believe I'm a women's 16 (US), extra-wide.

Maybe my feet will get a little smaller from the hormones?  Possibly?  Pretty please, oh hormone gods?

EDIT: I could also try trimming off some toes... we don't need all of them, right?  >:-)

My shoe size went down from 10½ to 9½ on HRT.

I love heels....

.....but my head and door frames are not so sure... :icon_yikes:

I don't care for them much myself.  I am a little clumsy and tend to want to keep things more comfortable.  Still, a handful of outfits seem to make them obligatory, so I will see what I can do to have a wide base and not too much height.

As for what anyone does, I'm not particular.

When I started dressing again after a long hiatus, putting on a nice pair of pumps with about a 4" heel was the most wonderful feeling.  Yes, hard to walk in, but so feminine.  They felt very right.

Love heels. I think I have six or seven pair. But like many people I am tall. 72 inches. 72+4=76 So I am about 6ft 4in while wearing heels. Attracts alot of attention in public. But I like attention. Genevieve

Genevieve Swann

I beleive a pair of hot pink heels are in order. Yes!

Dark Angel

Love em! Mostly for clubbing though, not too practical for day to day wear. Im a big fan of Mary Janes. Have both of these, plus a bunch of other platform boots and MJs. They range from an inch to 4 inches. Too hard for me to walk in anything more than 4 inches. Guess I should stop complaining about my height. Im 5'7". At least in Germany I see a lot of women taller than me.



My feet also shrunk from HRT. Went from a 10 in womens to a 8 1/2 - 9.
