Most your feet have hurt? - Page 2

Ironically, the most my feet ever hurt involved a pair of 2 1/2" Nine West sling backs with pointed toes. Last summer, I went to a drag show for a friend of mine's very first performance. He had been toying with the idea of performing for a couple of months, so I told him if he performed that I would wear a skirt to his debut. I actually never expected him to go through with it, so I was a bit shocked to hear that he was going to go through with it.

Being summer, my legs were pretty hairy and I didn't plan on shaving so I wore a pair of nude pantyhose with a pair of black stockings over them. This mostly covered the hair, but my toes were a bit restricted in the layered leg ware. I found a knee length red skirt at a thrift store, put on a white pullover and a black blazer and my sling backs and off I went.

I got to the club about 9:00, met some friends and danced until the show started at midnight. I stood throughout the show and danced more until about 3:00 AM. I was then convinced to go to an after party that lasted until 7:00 AM. Eventually, hair or not, I lost the stockings for my drive home.

In addition to tight stockings, the only thing I could figure was that the sling backs didn't provide much support in the back and my heels slid about on the shoes. Also, since the toes wee a bit pointed they just added to the stress. I would have killed that night for a foot massage!

As reported before, about 25 years ago in a club waiting for a fashion show to start. One of my first ever HH experiences, that had me waiting in a crowd unable to move about unless I left the arena and missed the show.

I wasn't stood there that long in the great scheme of things (less than 3 hours total) but it felt like I had impaled the balls of my feet onto stakes protruding from the ground. I wouldn't give up though. I knew then my being there was a one of my life's highlights and I had to savour every moment. I did then, and I (still) do now.

Will make this a regular.

I wore 5" stiletto high heels one day when I ran errands all morning. I did a little housework that same day in the same high heels. That night, I went dancing in a similar pair of 5" high heels and danced for four hours. The next day, my feet and calves were a little sore, but it went away as the day progressed.

Wore those same nine west 4 1/2" black canvas block heels all last evening, in bed , to the paper shop this morning, around the flat, and now just got back from the 5 miles dog walk. No pain ! Could wear size sixes these permanently, totally wkd heels !!

When I had the house to myself once when my mum and dad went away for a holiday I had my 6 inch calf lace boots on from the minute I woke up to only take them off when having a shower and my feet were killing me after a few hours but did everything I could to get through the "pain barrier" as I just could not stand the thought of taking them off as love'd the freedom of walking around in high heels with no way of getting caught and even though it did hurt I couldnt sit down for long as just wanted to keep walking around and improve my stride as my aim is to always try and walk in high heels like I am on a catwalk!

good on yer ! The hardest thing for me is 5" wedge shoes, got some i only wear when i know the going will be easy, def ankletwisters, unlike stilettos which are a breeze.
Hey, why take them off for a shower !!

Spikeheels · 4th July 2008, 00:15

LOL I am actually yet to try that as seen some postings about wearing wet heels or getting them wet and we did have a stand up shower unit so that would have worked perfectly as could shower and still be able to stand in the heels! Think I would need a shower mat as wouldn't fancy taking a slip in 6 inch heels and causing injury!!!

oh, I think the absolute worst time for me was a fetish party wearing 5.75" with no platform for about 4-5 hrs straight, with almost no sitting areas. It was quite painful at the end of the night, but I vowed to keep the heels ON for the duration! I remember almost collapsing on the way back to the car in the parking lot and nearly twisted my ankle, so they came off right there with about 20-30 yards to go before we reached the car. I think I was actually wearing the same outfit as in my avatar, and I know those are the same heels! They are Jante heels, almost identical to Pleaser's DOMINA-431

"The silver Lining" insoles are GREAT for added comfort in tall heels! I would almost say they are a necessity.

That is a long time in heels that high with no sitting breaks...Burning feet.
