Well sweetie,

I wear an 11b woman's shoe size, I have high heel straps and pumps. Varying from 3 to 5 inches. They make me feel great when I wear them, but I must admit, just like nylons... they feel great on me for the first few hours, but after a while... I can't wait to get them off!!!!

At my age, I prefer flats

Love

Brenda

Being 6'1" I would just as soon stay away from anything that makes me taller, but.... it is near impossible to find size 13 women's shoes, and the ones I have been able to find almost all have a 1-2" heel. Go figure. That being the case, my usual work shoes are a pair of heels that fit me well, and I do like the way they feel. The tapping noise is a nice reminder of my femininity.

After rain today, I wore my favorite 2.5 inch high heel sandals.
It's not sexy, but very comfortable!

Purchased at a Priceless Shoes in Seattle in 2008.
Price was about $20!!

I love it.

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.



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 love 4-6in.  (heels) 
i just feel like a giant and opt for flats and 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

i loooove heels lol.  i only wear heels when going out.  during the day i may wear wedges open toes or something.... im rather short so i use them for the height, plus they are super cute.... after a good couple of hours your feet are good and numb and you no longer feel the pain lol.

I'd love to have a pair of 6" pink heels for a photo shoot. They are not made for walking. I asked a gal who has some if she could walk in them and she said as far as the bathroom and back.

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. I'd get back to my car, take them off, and scream a string of obscenities as I painfully flexed each of my big toes for the first time that day. Now I have nice shoes that fit and the difference is night & day!

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.

I do not *like* heels, but I do like to wear them

I LOOOOOVE heels so much!
I can't live without them.

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...

I'm with the ones who say "love them...on someone else."  I'm the sort whose managers are just happy that the visible parts of my motorcycle boots, which double as my work shoes, are all black.

yeah, that sounds like me...

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.

he he, finally a non-obscenely-feminine shaped part of me :-) i alwayse wonderred if i had guy-shaped feet. I think they are kinda short and wide and guy shoes definately fit better.

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.

amazingly enough my girl size and guy size are about the same, i always found this weird, but im not complaining, if u jumped up two sizes i would be a size 13 womens which is hard to find, so i guess im lucky, no complaints here

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.

I'm the same height, 5'8", and i dont get self concious about my height, it would be nice to be shorter, but meh, im happy.  I actually like the height increase, and they make me feel so sexy
