I wish I could wear you all the time

[ArcticChicken]

I love heels. Love them. If I wear them for 10 minutes I can't walk for a week. I'm hoping that when I loose the weight my knees will forgive me, and allow me to wear them for at least an evening.

Also, I want your shoes. I cannot get enough red shoes.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

I'm only 5'6", and a nice set of three inch heels put me at 5"9", I guess. And everyone always thinks I'm taller than I am anyways, which is awesome.

Guys think you're too tall? Too tall for what? Too tall to not make them feel emasculated? Feh. A man so insecure that he is intimidated by something as innocuous as a tall girl is too much of a pussy to date a girl in a pair of smoking hot shoes anyways.

I wish I was 6 foot tall. I'd STILL wear heels.

I like your shoes. You probably shouldn't hurt yourself. But I can totally identify with a weakness for pretty red shoes. I got something like 30 or 40 pair of shoes.

And that's amateur compared the women I used to work with.

You know what we need? A thread where we can post our favorite shoes. I'm starting one.

I don't think I could walk in those, but those shoes are HAWT!

I got something like 30 or 40 pair of shoes.

Buh wha...? How many?

"High Heel Shoes" Christine Lavin -- thread theme song?

I'm getting dizzy way up here;
I haven't been this high in years.
Oh, whatever possessed me to
Blow eighty dollars on these high heel shoes.
"Looks like a pump, feels like a sneaker"?
Do they think we're idiots? But I bought 'em.
Now I'm standing in a subway car.
I ride because I cannot walk far.
I couldn't find an empty cab on the street;
They were filled with high-heeled women with non-functioning feet.
...

The word "only" has no place in that sentence. I own two pairs of shoes. Sneakers, and sandals. That's it. I don't even have a dress pair at the moment.

And I'll just mention to all the tall ladies who hate being taller than their gents while wearing heels, I'm 6'6", and very available

Sorry Broom, this one's taken!

And I own the following: one pair of sneakers, two pairs of flip-flops (second pair gives me blisters so I save them for small trips), three pairs of flats, one pair of LOW heels, one pair of wedges and two pairs of my work shoes (the heels and wedges are for events where I can't get away with flats). Funny story-I had a date prior to work and wound up forgetting to bring my work shoes with me, so cue me running through the mall like a madwoman looking to buy a new pair of work shoes

I think heels look nice, but I don't wear them because I don't like to sacrifice personal comfort. Although the main reason is, heels are loud as hell, depending on the surface - and I don't like people to know when I'm approaching. I like to sneak around

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Buh wha...? How many?

Yeah. Seriously. In fact, I did a quick count in my head after I typed that to make sure I wasn't remembering wrong. Off the top of my head, at least 38 and that's if I'm not forgetting any, which I am sure I am.

I'm kind of embarassed to admit that. It's a sickness.

They aren't all high heels, I have clogs, boots, wedges, sandals, mules, flats. You name it, I got it.

Two of the women I used to work with had over a hundred each. I wouldn't want to store a hundred pairs of shoes. What I have takes up a ton of room as it is. I have two large shelves with shoe stackers, stacked over and under and behind. Big bin in the attic holds the ones I don't wear a lot that won't fit on my shoe racks.

My kid has quite a few pairs, too. Like I said, it's a sickness.

But hey, rarely do I ever spend full price on shoes. I figure if I can get a deal on shoes and not pay a lot of money...that means I can get MORE SHOES. I have a pair of brown mules that I get complimented on every time I wear them. Paid five bucks for them. Clearance rocks!

Payless. They are called Cassies.

Must stop by Payless soon. I am short (5'1" on a good day )

[McGoddess09]

I'm 5'9" and I love wearing heels. I wear them alot. I feel sexier in them and alot more confident. I can even run in them (lots of practice). I own a pair of flats,my gym shoes, and my work shoes. Any other shoes I have are high heeled sandals.

Need to get new ones though. Some sexy high heels with laces that go up the leg. Rawr.

You're only 5' 8" and have issues with your height?

Have you met Lupo yet? She's easily 6' tall and LOVES heels. Wears them every chance she gets.

I like my tall friends.

Broom, you're a tall friend....

[SnarkyPie]

I'm about 6' tall, but the extra height doesn't really bother me at all. My boyfriend is still significantly shorter than me flat-footed, and neither of us really cares. At prom, I wore 3" heels, and the top of his head came up to my shoulder (if that) in the photo. You shouldn't worry about guys not liking it when you're taller than them, you should just seek out the ones who aren't so insecure.

That being said, I generally avoid heels for the sake of comfort. I have a pair of dress boots with a decent heel that I sometimes wear but they're about the only heels I wear barring special occasions.
