Title: Heels, love or hate them?
Post by: luvfrills on December 05, 2008, 07:21:37 PM
I love wearing heels (2 to 3 inch) but I am tall.

I love the way they make my legs look, they way they make me feel and the frame of mind they put me in.  I can wear them all day long and never had a problem getting around.

I think they make me too noticable, though, because I am already tall.  Part of me doesn't care, part of me thinks I should dress according to my looks.  What does everyone else think or do?

I LOOOVE heels, but I only wear them from time to time, I'm more of a sandals girl.

I'm 5'9" and feel the same way you do about standing out (pardon the pun, hehe), but remember - they can make you stand out in two ways:

1. you stand out cuz you look good wearing them
2. if you aren't passing, it can draw attention to you and lead to people reading you.

I say do what ever you feel good doing! if you like wearing heels, then all I have to say is "you go girl!"

I love heels.  I love the way they make me look, they make me feel older and more 'in control,' and I love the clicking sound they make on the floor [I always have, ever since I was a kid].  I just won't wear them on the streets as an every-day kind of thing unless they're less than 3 inches and are very, very comfortable. :)  And I'll only wear them every other day or so, because I don't want foot or knee problems when I'm older.  I have these boots I just got that are really awesome, 2.5 inch heels and sooooo comfortable and real leather, I love them and I can wear them all day without my feet hurting. :) :D

The tallest heels I ever wore were four inches.  I almost toppled over the first time I put them on, I had to practice with them around the house for a week before I was due to wear them at senior prom.  But after I was used to them and knew how to balance properly, I danced in those damn heels. :D I really liked those, too, they were a metallic gold color and very strappy.

There is a point, though, where a heel is too high.  Like, those 5-6 inch heels.. then it's not sexy anymore, then all I can think when I look at the poor girl is "wow that looks really, really painful."

Personally, I love heels and wear them almost every day including the weekend.  I am tall and yes, I feel like  I tower over most cisgendered females. However, there are 5 cisgendered females in my office that are taller than me, and still wear heels everyday to the office.(maybe my company just hires tall women) So I guess if you can pull it off and be comfortable in them, go for it.

Depends on my mood. Most of the time I prefer the comfort of regular shoes or sandals. Occasionally though I'll wear some heels. Although, I do love heels, they're just not the most comfortable things to walk in regularly. Plus, they make me like 5' 11" or something which makes me feel even taller than I already am.
Title: Re: Heels, love or hate them?

I'm addicted to heels. I can't do without them. Once I was getting an outfit with a hemline several inches above my knee. I tried flats with it and the look was just all wrong for my legs. I always wear skirts and dresses, and now I saw that I had to wear heels with them. So I realized: I'm addicted to heels!

But I never go above 3 inches.

I'm 5'10", so in heels I stand 6'1". Which is good, I like looking down on the tops of everyone's heads.  >:-)

I also love medium heels: 2 or 3 inches. They ... well, heels and hose make me feel feminine. What can I say! I'm 5-8, so I don't stand out too much. I like the look of 4" heels, but I've never had the nerve to wear them. When I've tried, I've been terrified that I'd fall and break something.

Like TamTam, I think 5 or 6 inch heels are too much. They're fetishwear. I don't object to fetishes, but I think they should be kept in private, between consenting adults.

I can't stand strappy sandals, though. Every time I've tried them, the straps cut into my feet, the shoe slides sideways on my foot, and I can barely walk. So I generally go for pumps -- preferably with instep or ankle straps, to help keep them on my feet.

I also like high-heeled boots; I think they're more comfortable than high-heeled shoes. Maybe that's because I have no fear that a boot will fall off, or I'll twist my ankle if I don't put my foot down exactly right.

I love heels!  However, I probably can not walk in them (my highest heels have the heel maybe one inch above the toe?  Actually, I think it's more like two inches.  Either way, heel practice is needed).  My main problem with high heels is that they all have narrow toes.  This is a general problem with all shoes, but it is more pronounced in high heels because the creators incorrectly assume that anyone wearing them is willing to be in extreme pain.  Regardless, I usually prefer platforms anyway.

Post by: Stealthgrrl on December 07, 2008, 12:53:58 PM
They look wonderful, but I never wear them because I make my living on my feet so I have to be careful of them. Plus, I so rarely wear them that I don't walk very gracefully in them anymore. Real men dont eat quiche and real lesbians don't wear heels, right?  :laugh:
Title: Re: Heels, love or hate them?
Post by: TamTam on December 07, 2008, 01:13:50 PM
Adrian, there's lots of heels with wider toe boxes. :) I refuse to wear narrow shoes, my feet are way too wide and I don't have the pain tolerance to deal with blisters every time I walk.  Most good, quality shoes come in wide-widths, and that goes for heels, too.  Or you can always try a half-size larger than normal, that sometimes works for me, too.

I am a real gay woman and I wear heels. ;)

I like big boots and I cannot lie. ;)

Preferably knee length with vicious heels that could be used to punch a hole though time.

I doubt I could ever wear such things without causing a localised seismic event as I go, in a rather undignified manner, flat on my ass after two steps whilst racing the small red trickle from the nosebleed I'd get through being so high up in the first place.

But it's a nice thought. :)

I LOVE heels, as was stated earlier I also love the way they sound, it gives me the feeling of being a powerful femme.  It's a turn-on for me, but they have to be comfortable!  I've had a few heels before that I had to give away because they just hurt too much.  Right now I have two knee-high boots, an ankle-boot, two pumps, and a sandal.  All except the sandal are narrow heels, I just love them.  Don't ask how I can walk in them, I have no idea it just came naturally to me.

I've never worn heels, not even to try... the idea is kind of nice, but the reality is that my feet are at least a colossal size 16 extra-wide (women's, US), and I need to get shorter, not taller.

Love 'em...but rarely wear them out, as they make me too tall.

Great for making your male feet look smaller...

I preffer the extra ankle support of boots, and love them with a pair of skinny jeans.

...but why do they have a mgnetic attraction for the cracks in the sidewalk? :icon_yikes:

Tam Tam and Jenn:  I just meant what I said.  There are some women out there who can't straighten their legs when walking in heels, and as a result they bend their knees, perhaps in an effort not to lose balance? 

Whatever the case...walking in heels with your knees bent.... looks....just....*sighs*....waaaaaaay tacky.  Bottom line?  if you don't know how to walk in heels, either learn how to do it or do not wear them at all.  (and incidentally, the *you* is impersonal ;))

I think I know what you mean, but the only time I have really seen it be obvious was in an old "Tubes" in concert video, and the movie "Switch"...exept when walking across "soft" surfaces, when we all have no choice in the matter.

Seems like everyone over here in th UK not wearing trainers, has gone to flat ballerinas and low heal courts for daywear at the the moment, (except for "corporate" and party wear).

LOL, I hear ya. But while I've managed to own my flat-footed 6'2" height, I dunno about heels. I'm terrified to do anything that might ruin my passing :(

So... I stick to flats or low heels (under 2").

Even if you were 6'8", I can guarantee that there are taller women out there.

I love heels, so long as they are comfortable, look good, and don't ruin my hose. (I know, pipe dream on the last one).

I prefer a low heel, about 1-2" at most. I'm 5'8", and I want to stay under 6' with heels. Plus, I can be on level ground, wearing flat shoes, and still manage to twist my ankle. Any higher than 2" and I am taking my life in my own hands (which is dangerous under the best of circumstances!).

I love any type of shoes, really. Strappy heels and boots are my favorites, though.

Edited to correct height. You'd think I know how tall I am!  :laugh:

Post by: jenny_ on December 11, 2008, 06:57:13 AM
I love heels as well, though i don't wear them much.  I hate my height, and don't want to look taller, even though i'm only 5'8 which is pretty common nowadays.

Having said that, I'm not so sure anymore that wearing heels makes all that much difference - I'm tall in flats and tall in heels - an extra couple of inches doesn't make all that much difference to your height.

And when it comes to passing Kate, i think maybe its more likely that people will just think you're a tall girl in heels than trans.

Love heels like most 2 - 3 inches I'm not real tall 5'8" so even with 4" heels I don't stand out much, but my 6 inch "F" me pumps do put me over 6 foot. Heels kinda takes away from my soccer mom look, more towards a librarian look  ;D

Post by: JenniferR04 on December 11, 2008, 07:23:52 AM
I like heels ..... typically the 2-3" variety mostly.  I am a little over 5'7" tall so some heel makes me look a little taller and thinner, which isn't necessary a bad thing - elongates the body.

My favorites are boots of any style.  I have a couple pair of calf high boots, but I've had the knee high and also the slightly over ankle high boots and I love them all.  If only I had the unlimited budget and I would have all the shoes I so dearly want.  Sigh.

I don't really like heels, but I'll admit that I have tried to wear something with heels recently.  I wouldn't be surprised if I was bending my knees. It probably would explain why I kept having accidents. But then again I tend to trip over my feet... :embarrassed:

Love them tremendously and what they do for the figure and posture. 2-3" at most can walk in them all day and love it. I used to think I had wide feet but for some reason most feel comfortable. But at 5-11" I don't wear them as much as I'd like, guess I watch too much ''what not to wear'' and don't think it's 'size appropriate' lol, but really who cares lol. I think after some work gets done (ffs etc...) I'll wear them more often.

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 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.

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.

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...

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 (http://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

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?

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 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.

Love heels. I'm 6 ft. without shoes. It's fun being a tall woman. Now I need another pair. Sexy Shoes online has a very pretty pair of pink pumps. The price is right. Shoes are available in large sizes also. Some up to 15. If I expect to walk a long distance I use a large purse so I'll have flats and heels. Not very lady like to carry spare shoes but I don't care. One never knows what may be found in a woman's purse.

I used to wear them prior to transition (crossdressing), however heels reminded me too much of those days until recently so I didnt wear them for a long time.  Now I will wear heels with the right outfit.  It just depends on what you are wearing.  If they fit the outfit then Im all for them.

What girl, GG or TG, doesn't like the way they look?? Practical is the reality for me! For me, 2 to 2-1/2" are great, easier to walk in and yet retain some femininity! I would love the taller heels, they can be sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sexy, yet, pain and stilt -walking inhibit my use of them. I love the clicking of the heels too!! There are so many great resons for heels, wedges are good, they retain some of the femininity of the heel. Wedges on sandals are good too, and can be very flirty and feminine! This time of year, really begins my excitement for colors and dresses and wedged sandals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :P

Hi,

I'm just starting out in transition.

I've always loved the fashion options that gg's have, including heels.

I went for some gusto with the first few pairs, 3.5 inch la- cheapa pumps.

Already can tell that they help posture and walk.

Quick question in case any girls have an idea. Where does about 5 foot ten and size 9.5 women shoes fit in on natale female scales? The fit is a little tight out of the box... will have to see over time. Maybe a 1/2 size larger in the long run.

Yes, I am grateful for the smaller feet.

Michelle.

Yes they do. They pretty much force you to walk with poise and grace, or else.  :) Learn to glide smoothly in heels, it makes an excellent impression.

You have my height and shoe size exactly. I wear 9½W. Try the wide ones. If you increase the length longer than your size they're liable to slip right off. Increase the width instead and see if that doesn't suit you.

I just got my first pair in the mail today (actually two, got white and black in different styles) and I love them.  Walking in them isn't too hard but will definitely take some practice to make it look good.  I wear 11 wide which are sort of near the large zone, but I'd probably fit better in 10/5 wide if they made them.  Also depends on socks vs no socks etc, way more than with mens shoes.

Yes going up to "W" makes sense over a size increase.

BTW I got them thru the payless website.

Their site has a cool shoe size print out feature.

Agh, I hate that noise.  I remember all my female teachers who would wear shoes like that and walk around the classroom while we were supposed to be working; couldn't concentrate at all.  But platforms don't make that noise, and wider-heeled shoes don't if you walk correctly.

hey girls, I just wanted to pass on a site that I have recently been purchasing a lot of shoes/heels from. I've gotten some nice platforms and 4" heels and some really cute wedges that have become my new favorites this spring :)

it's cutesygirl dot com if you want to check them out. the tops and dresses are also really cute and prices are good too :) the only problem is sizing. most shoes are availble up to a size 10, but none are wide and they run a little bit small. I'm normally a 9.5-10 and these 10s should actually be 10w so order accordingly.

Love, love, love!  I can do 4" but its a big difference between doing 4" when you foot is size 6 and size 10 (me)!  I got some new 3" heels for $20 w/shipping and they're my new favorites.  Figured I'd share where I got them:

6pm dot com

The prices may seem a little expensive at first, but if you sign up for their email discounts you get crazy low prices... but you have to pay attention.  What they do is they send out emails where the prices are super low (12.95-19.95), but they only last for one day!  They have sizes up to 12W on some shoes, depending on brands.  But shoes that were out of stock in larger sizes on other sites were in stock on 6pm.  They also sell clothes and stuff there, but those aren't nearly as cheap.

Love them.  I would wear them all the time if I could.

I can do about 2 3/4 very easily, and the ones in my avatar are a bit over that at nearly 3 1/2 inches.  They cause me a bit of pain if I wear them too much.

I have these shoes that I would never have chosen as I lean toward the more flashy heals (like my avatar), but I was in Kohls looking for a Denim skirt which I didnt find, and I happened to wander through the shoes by accident.  Yeah right!  I was pretty disappointed at the selection of shoes available, and was about to leave the shoe section when a pair caught my eye.  They were similar to a pair I had seen a young lady trying on only minutes before, so I figured what the heck, and tried them on.  I was in heaven.  Never before had I found a pair of heals that fit that well.  It was like they were made for me.   I dont usually like the wedge style, but it is growing on me.  I'll see if I can link a pic...

I do like to wear some sort of hose with my heals though, I hate the way that they stick to me if I dont.

I usually wear US women's size 10, or 10W, or 265 mm. Fortunately, compared with my height (6 feet), my foot is relatively small. However, the largest size in my country is mostly 255 mm, and I should order special ones for my size. So, I never purchased high heels here. All I have now are from the U.S.

Also, in the U.S., there are some confusions on women's shoe size, especially for high heel pumps. Thus, usually I wear 4-inch high heels sandals, even in winter.

I love this one:

About 6 years ago, my wife purchased this for me at priceless shoes at about $20. It is very endurable, and I still sometimes wear it.

The next one is what I purchased from amazon.com about 6 years ago. Original prices was > $200, but I got it at $30 or something:
http://125.247.198.61/bbs/upimg/fishery/4inch_strap.jpg (http://125.247.198.61/bbs/upimg/fishery/4inch_strap.jpg)

And the one that I have never worn outdoors. Sigh... It is 5-inch pump. First I ordered a size 10 through the internet and it was too small. I returned it and get size 11. It is still small to my feet. I barely could wear it, but with silk stockings, it is easier to wear. It just served as my occasional fetish toy indoors:
http://125.247.198.61/bbs/upimg/fishery/5inch_heel.jpg (http://125.247.198.61/bbs/upimg/fishery/5inch_heel.jpg)

For 5-inch pump, I guess plus 2 to my normal shoe size would be better (I mean size 12W 5-inch pump would be mine). Nevertheless, I hope to wear this one for some kind of party with my old friends. Not for walking for > 30 minutes.

You seem to be addicted to heels!

I have more heels than my wife, but still the number is less than 10.

Yesterday, my 5-yr daughter urged her mom to wear heels before going out, but my wife insisted flat sandals. My daughter still coaxed her mother, and my wife explained that it is safer to wear flat ones while driving.

If my daughter urged me, then I would happily wear them.

In my country, they usually sell women's shoes up to 255 mm (US women's 8??). As it is difficult to wear high heels at my work place, I searched the internet to find a nice pair of flat sandals (265 mm, US women's size 10). In online shopping mall, it advertises as 'Big size sandals' and charges extra money equivalent to US $3. It's about just US $20.

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fgdimg4.gmarket.co.kr%2Fgoods_image2%2Fmiddle_img2%2F165%2F701%2F165701124.jpg&hash=66ffc08458f38d7bf360a4964f3bd5d2044cd811)

Of course, I ordered black ones, and hopefully wear with black skinny jeans. I am very glad that I could get shoes of my size here at affortable price in my country.

I will attend a formal meeting this week, and will try the new sandals!

I'm a great fan of them myself, and sandles are nice, i find they don't hurt as much as close toes shoes, but that's just me.  I have found them almost simple to walk in and rarely lose my balance, and the two pairs I have at the moment are 4" tall, putting me at 6' exactly.  I don't mind being so tall, I enjoy how my hips sway, my body moves in the heels, its just wonderful.

Yknow, i never really had to teach myself how to walk in them, it just worked for me.  idk weird

If your feet hurt, the shoes don't fit. I have a pair of shoes I used to wear to work every day for a while.

If your feet hurt, the shoes don't fit. I have a pair of shoes I used to wear to work every day for a while.

It really does, I like the open toed myself, they are infinitely more comfortable for me at least, cute looking too.

Heels don't agree well with me. I haven't been able to find a lot of high heels that have fit my large feet, and when I do they are rather uncomfortable. Instead, I wear flip flops or slip ons, when I go out as a girl.

My favorite subject - guess I have a shoe fetish.

I used to say that "comfortable womens shoes" was an oxymoron until a few years back I discovered wedges.

Cute!!

do men and women have diffent shaped feet?

When i go shopping for girl shoes i tell them my guy size but when they try to work out what i should be in a girl shoe i end up having to go up another two sizes to get it wide enough? i'm about a 6.5 mens and a 10 ladies which isn't supposed to match up (a 9 or 9.5 in ladies if it's "sensible shoes").

I do love looking at girly shoes but i just don't have the masochism (or foot shape?) to actually wear them. I used to like to try to find nice feminine shoes for those rare occasions when i felt like showing my feminine side, but i gave up. I decided it was a case of "i like it, but not on me". Now i just window shop and don't even bother trying on.

Actually what i really love is having a subtle heel on more macho shoes. On a great big boot, like a motorcycle boot or a military GP, even an ueber-macho guy could get away with at least 2" extra. I actually like the man-ify-ing height effect of heels for my purposes. I usually go for sensible shoes with a deceptively large heel and given i'm not really small to begin with this puts me eye-ball-to-eyeball with all except the tallest blokes. People tend to over-estimate my height by a fair bit too.

I like people seeing me as tall, except one time when a 6'4" guy siad i was "pretty tall, for a chick", i don't like anything with a "for a female" qualifier on it... grrrr...

.....

There is a difference in the shape of women's and men's feet.  It has more to do with width than anything else (women's feet are more narrow and somewhat elongated).  But the variation between people makes up for all the difference between the average "male" and "female" foot! 

Yes, you normally go up two sizes, women's sizes are smaller.  If you have wide feet you may need to go farther.  Of course, there is also variation in how big a size X is between the different companies... thankfully not as much as in clothes though !!!

You may have to find women's shoe stores that specialize in larger feet to find shoes that fit well.  Start at Payless and ask around.

OMG!! How did I miss a shoe thread?!!? I has a thing for shoes. :)


I regularly wear 4'-inch heels to work, and in a recent vlog with Meghan, we measured the heels I had on at 5 inches! I loves me some heelage.

OOOhhhh! What size are you? I can see a closet raid in the making. Totally jealous.

Heels? Yes please! I think I am in the average heel camp of 2-3 inch heels. Haven't tried (dared) anything in 4" plus range. At 5'9" I don't really feel the need to go 6'1" or more and with notoriously week ankles and torn tendons to prove it, I'm not taking the risk.

the pairs of heels i have are 4 inch for two of them, and two inch for one of them.  my fav are the black strappy 4 inch ones, they are not only cute, but actually quite comfortable

Say hello to another weirdo!  I actually usually wear a *smaller* size in womens than mens! (10 vs 10.5) although for some brands I go to 11.  I'm really addicted to the 4 inch height, which is pushing it a little, at 5'8 ish I go to 6'0" but that's not so bad.  I have a few that are 2.5 or so but my favorite is a 4" i got from kmart online for $15 and they're more comfortable than any of the others.  Oh, and the other issue is that I have yet to find a pair of flats in my size and price range that don't look ugly or tacky, so heels it is.

Love, love, love them too. Only 5'6", so i can get away with taller ones, but 4" is where I top out on the "can walk in them" meter. My favorites are my blue suede Steve Madden Trinitie. Can't wait until I am free to wear them outside of the house.

Went to Harrods in London yesterday and saw so many beautiful shoes and clothes. Saw so many high end brands like YSL etc. Louboutin's had their own special place. First time I had seen them outside of celebrity magazines. Thought I had died and gone to heaven. Of course, at $500+ a pair, it would take divine intervention to afford some of my own!

It really depends. If they're like wedges and they're not all that girly, sure I'll wear them, but I'd have be wearing something a bit more masculine with them.

AUGH, my footses!

I wore heels out today. Pebbles can attest to how ridiculous this was. :P I started out pretty awkwardly - it's been a while since I practised, and that was indoors. I remembered advice from countless places, though - walk with your hips, heel-toe, shoulders back - and got a nice rhythm going. I loved this bit! If you'd asked me how I feel about heels I'd have beamed at you during this time.

10 minutes around the town centre and my feet might as well have been aflame. I have quite a chunky 'knuckle' on both big toes, which has caused me problem with mens' shoes in the past too. That does not enjoy being rubbed against the rim of a court heel. My toes were getting squished as gravity conspired to slide me back to a flat walking position, and the middle of my sole got rubbed as a result. Basically, I find that heels hurt bits of my feet I never knew could hurt before. :P

I may resign myself to being a 'heel appreciator'.

2.5-3 inch heels are comfortable and also very effective in emphasizing leg lines. However, some vanity sometimes entices me to wear > 4-inch heels that allow hardly me to walk for >1 hour.

Yesterday I wore 2.5 inch high heels sandales, and I could even dance in a bar.

I love the way heels look on ladies, but at the same time don't understand why they go through so much discomfort just to wear them.
According to some I ask it is because they are indoctrinated my males into wearing them.... right.

If I want to be completely honest I have to admit that I wore a pair of heels a couple of years ago. It is a long story, and in short it was because a female coursemate wanted to see if I could fly an aircraft (simulator obviously) wearing heels. I agreed if she would provide the shoes.
Walking in them was no problem, walking down stairs however was more difficult and running proved to be impossible. After an hour or so in the sim they started to hurt, but this may be because they were too small. In the end flying an aircraft proved to be very possible when wearing heels, it is just something you need to get used to (But I rather do it barefeet).

Why do women torture themselves this much?

Whenever I wear bootcut jeans, I desire to wear heels.

Today I did not have many long trousers, and I picked a pair of black bootcut jeans to attend a wedding ceremony. I picked a pair of brown high heels, although I did not feel strongly to present myself as a woman. It was just to match with bootcut jeans.

A problem was that nobody mentioned my wearing heels. It was crowded, but ny colleagues, old friends, female college students... Nobody even joked about it. One guy just said like you look pretty today. Some strange people in the wedding hall just watched me.

No thrill with heels any more.

Recently I realized that the most attractive fashion item for me is again heels. Stiletto heels are so much sexy. Sadly, I can not wear them freely, but sometimes I can enjoy wearing them in the street.

Leather boots rock. I am 5' 81/2" also but I weigh over 170 lb.
I have not had a single pair of heels over 3" that lasted me for more than two days of wear.
I paid over $200 bucks for a kick ass Harley Davidson licensed pair of 3" heel ankle boots.
They lasted half way through the bus trip from Bismarck, N.D. to Portland, Or.
before the sole broke in half and made the heel buckle out sideways with every step.
I love the way heels look on me and some are just "simply to die for" but I can't
see spending the money on shoes I am only going to be able to wear for two days.

flats and make my feet ache after a few hours.
I pretty much live in 2-3" heels, even winter boots.

I love heels, being 5.5, I can wear 4inch heels all day with no problems.

I love them too.

It is a matter of how you put your set up together and how confident you are. :)

I love to wear them to a nightclub or party but I don't normally wear them during the day like to work and stuff. I own more heels than anything else though.

I love my heels and I can't go out without them. They complete my outfits and I just feel comfortable in them. I nornally dont go over 4 inch unless they have a platform.

Hmm...
I do like the way my legs look in heels, and they can be sexy/pretty.
However I'm 5'11'' and I do look very tall in them. Though strangley when I was at uni all thje blokes on my course were much taller than me, so I never looked out of proportion in heels and wore them quite often.
Now though I never wear them, I wear converse style shoes, or flat leather shoes. The only heels I do wear are very low 18th century reproduction womens shoes whch I love.

In the end I've had too many nights of going out and getting seriously sore feet and ending up walking home bear foot in London (not pretty I can assure you)

I keep a fold up pair of flats in my bag to walk home in, seems pretty common over here (Australia)

I love heels.   I abhorred the idea of heels when I first wore them (14, woo). My mother made me get them to look "more professional" for debate.   But if you search for a good pair of heels, they look nice, make your legs look nice, and are super comfortable. I actually prefer wearing my heels to tennis shoes sometimes because they feel more comfortable to me.

Depends on the outfit. I typically wear stilettos...

But yeah...I prefer boots.
