I'm 6 foot even and I love heels. I get alot of looks but I like attention. There are some larger sizes at Payless shoes. Usually 11W and sometimes 12. The price is good. Those sizes don't sell much so they are usually on sale. Hurrah for tall girls. While wearing heels do you bump your head alot? I do but not too often. Leslie shoes on line has nice shoes. Hugs, Genevieve

HUGS,HUGS,HUGS

I love this thread.  How have I missed it for so long.

I am 6'4", and of course, before I transitioned I thought how impossible it would be, but now on the other side for 8 years, I am having the time of my life.

I wear 2" heels in the summer, and flats in the winter (except for boots), so I am so looking forward to warm weather to wear heels and less clothes.

But of course, at 6'4" I am noticed, and looked at, so it just gives me another reason to look as good as I can every day.

A SHOUT OUT to all the tall girls!!!!!!

Hello again Melan, You appear to have nice hands in the photo. I feel self concious about the size of my hands. Many tall people have large hands. I've heard that many GG's get jealous over tall girls like you with great legs. Hugs, Genevieve

I feel like a necromancer... " Rise, Dead Thread! RISE! *evil laugh* "

But seriously, I just came across this thread (Thank you Melan!) and HAD to go all Evil Dead on it. I am 6'2", with a womens size 13 shoe. (I can squeeze into a 12 when I am at my optimum weight though.) I was all doom and gloom about it, but hearing everyone's stories has helped immensely.

My $0.02 for shoe shopping - you knew there had to be more shopping links! - http://www.pierresilber.com/ Not the best shoes by any means, but they have high heels up to size 15

Wow Gwen

We have enough tall gals here to start our own band... Granted enough of us can play an instrument

I love tall women. Tall = beautiful in my opinion. That said, at 5'10 I'm still taller than 99% of women in this country, and it can be a little unnerving. If I were president I would pass a law such that women taller than 5'9" could deduct the cost of high heel shoes from their taxes. It's a good thing I'm not president!

Melan, that's a beautiful post!

Gotta agree with Alyssa.  Tall women are awesome!  There are several tall gals (genetic females) who work at our local mall.  Naturally, they are young ... in their 20s.  They are SO attractive. 

I love the part about when your confidence kicked in ... yes!  Good for you!

Melan, that's a beautiful post!

Thank you LaceyLynne!   It feels like so long ago when I posted this thread initially.  So much has happened since then, and I'm so happy that I had the courage to push through apprehensions, especially regarding height, to see transition to 'completion'.   I hope that others are helped by hearing stories of success and can also push past this perceived obstacle to fulfilling their dreams.

And Alyssa, I sooo agree tall women are hot!  Relate a story of this weekend, where tall women were everywhere I looked, beyond just the mirror

I met a woman on, of all places, Plenty of Fish.   She was looking for another tall woman.   We went out this last Friday night, dancing.  Funny enough, the two of us, at 6'4 or so with heels, meet up with another tall woman that we lock eyes with above the heads of the other dancing folks, that was out, dancing on her own, and we proceed to hit other clubs up the street, gathering tall women around us (LGBT bars, have to love 'em!) .  It was such a blast, and so funny to see this group of beautiful tall women proudly and happily frolicking  .  You would have swore it was a model convention (which, one of the women was!).

Tall woman power! 

*huggs*,

Tall woman power! 

Woo!

What a thread,

I was in the gym this week and two of the girls from the Adelaide Lighting basket ball team were either side of me on the tread mills. I won't mention names I'm 5' 7'' average to tall for a girl here. Next to two wonderful and totally beautiful  6' 5'' women ,they rocked. They both said hello and a quick female chat to me after, neither seemed phased by my rather androgyne look I now have in the gym. I think we need to remember, women come in all shapes and sizes.

Wow I've never posted on an Evil Dead thread before!!!!  (i have the special edition with a book of the dead cover!! LOL)

I'm 6'2...i am blessed with size 10ish (really closer to 11) feet... i can wear size 10 strappy heels but otherwise 11...

I have to admit i'm sheepish about putting on some heels and when i look around the only time i see women as tall as me, they seem to be 5'11 with 3 inch heels.... 

maybe i should just get over it, but so far i havent even shopped for heels

Melan:

I've just got to chime in again and say, "Tall women ROCK!"

I see tall women, genetic girls mostly, of course, at our local mall who are tall and SOOO hot!  Take what you've got and work it!  Here's to ya!
