Shoe rant
I only wear high heels when it just won't look right without them, plus I'm quite tall, so I don't need them to make me taller.
the very high heels are so uncomfortable.

Funny story! My friends and I were shopping just looking for shoes since I was getting married soon, this being back before I moved in 2007. One friend found the skinniest and highest heel and told me to put them on. Stupid me did and I tried walking...phew! I nearly fell and nearly died I swear
never again will I listen to them about shoes. The things us girls do for looks. There's a saying: rather have the look and put up with the pain. NOT! I wear heels, but only when I really need to. Other than that, it's flats up to 1.5", or better yet, some great, comfy running shoes!
I love girls on heels. Providing they know how to wear them, though - otherwise it is a heartbreaking sight
LOL and this, too
I'm clumsy as hell and I'd fall right on my head.
I'm also too tall. I wish they made negative-height shoes.
Or, taller guys

I love heels - 3 to 4 inch or so. I have a high instep/arch, so besides loving how they look, an actual heel is more comfortable for me. Flats are not good for everyone.
What I'd want to rant about, though, is weird, disgusting men who have strange fetishes about women in heels, or about other garments,
, and can't leave it alone. The world would truly be a better place without them.Same here. I actually find my knees are more comfortable if I wear heels. I don't wear the super-spikey/pointed toe type, though. I like "regular" ones for all but dress-up occasions. I once wore heels when my sons were having their Little League pictures taken at the town hall. I didn't realize I'd end up walking alongside the parade that went about a mile or a mile and a half to the baseball fields. There aren't sidewalks, so I ended up walking in acorns and dirt and broken pieces of blacktop the whole way. Concerned fellow-Little League parents thought I'd "be sorry" - but I'm proud to say I did better than that runway model in the video link.
(Models can do pretty much anything without looking too bad, though - so better her than me. )
Good On her for standing her ground; albeit in flat shoes
I even like a little wedge or thicker heel in my casual shoes. I actually think that always wearing a shoe with the heel higher than the toes may have done something to my calf muscles, so if I wear super flat shoes it feels as if they're being pulled. There was a time when I'd at least wear Dr. Scholl's sandals (flat) around the house, but since they disappeared (in - what - like the 1980's?
) I'm even wearing sandals with a wedge at home. I suppose I could fix the problem by wearing flat shoes and suffering for a few days.....Yeah, its the time of night to start thinking about shoes,
.
And, nah, Lisa. I could have the same issue. I just put on some running shoes and go walking or running. I used to ice skate a LOT in the winter when I was in the Midwest. You definitely build up different muscles wearing heals or skates...seems like the muscle in front of the bone (I think fibula?). So much so evidently when skating, I had a hard time when we were at a mall here one Christmas here and I tried skating again. Evidently I'd lost that muscle!
When wearing heels all the time, what you have to do is stretch the other muscles, which walking while wearing running shoes will do for you.
Lita, I keep thinking I need to get running shoes or some kind of athletic shoes, even if not for walking then at least for exercising (and not risking dropping the 8-pound kettlebell on my feet) - but I just look very weird in athletic shoes.
They're "so not me" I once mentioned mentioned how I may get some, and a family member actually laughed. there are some stylish looking, very comfortable skechers. I love mine and they look great with jeans.
You could try trail runners. They come in cool earth tones, etc., are a little different than plain running shoes... And anyway,
, I only wear them with sweats or shorts.

rebekahelle, thanks. I may look online to see what they look they.
lita, thanks. Same with trail runners.
(I really do need to get something, otherwise I'll be back on this post to say I can't wear heels because my toes were smashed in a nasty kettlebell accident. )

do you like wearing high heel shoes?
No. I seem to have very weak ankles. Have broken an ankle bone at least once, torn ligaments and had bad sprains-- even when wearing sensible shoes. At this point in my life, I wouldn't dare.

Platform Heels
About four years ago, I started wearing women's platform heels and haven't stopped wearing them since. The only problem is that I've only worn them in my apartment. I love wearing the 4-inch heels all the way up to 8-inch heels. It took a little while getting used to wearing high...
