I also enjoy 2- 3 inch heels

Something in a Jimmy Choo or Paul Smith. I couldnt wear them all the time "cry" but they put me back to normal height which is nice.

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 ;))

Oh, ok I understand.  Yeah I haven't seen that but I'm sure it doesn't look good.  Trust me I know how to walk in heels.  ;)

Heels totally rule.
I don't give a rat's backside that they put me close to 6'6" - my relationship with heels is a "Til death do us part" deal.
If you are tall, own your height. Make it work for you.
Don't let it own you instead.

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).

Ooooo that's good!  :eusa_clap:

I love heels.   If I could I would love to wear them all the time.

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 actually get slightly miffed if I'm not the tallest woman in the room.
Most women would kill to be your height.

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:

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.

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.

Spoil-sports!  :P

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

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 heels!! 2", 3", 4". I've never worn anything over 4". I'm wishing I didn't "donate" everything I owned a year ago. I miss my wardrobe so-o-o much. On the other hand, I get to shop again!!!! YAY!!

Love them like no tomorrow!
But, I cant go for more then a few hours with them before I loose feeling in my feet.  :laugh:

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.
