Does anyone else ever wear a pair of heels they know are too high for the day's activities, or just higher than you can really wear?

High on Heels

I find myself in heels for which I am probably not ready, usually when my boyfriend buys me heels and I feel obliged to wear them. Usually, my difficulty is in the stilleto shape of the heel on difficult surfaces (outdoor terrain) rather than the height.

However, I am learning and I try not to disappoint him by commenting on their difficulty.

Take Care,

Sounds very familiar to me, I was in the same position with my ex boyfriend. Especially on cobblestones stiletto heels can be very tricky to wear. And sometimes of course I wished he was buying me more sandals than pumps :P

I am sure by trying to learn not to dissapoint him by commenting on their difficulty you will soon find out some nice rewards and side effects as well

Oh what we do for men! lol

I was in Williamsburg Virginia last fall (a colonial town preserved in the 1700s ). I can sympathize about heels on cobblestone or brick.

One of the historical interpreters (pretending to have never seen such shoes) said "Madam, those are the finest quality of roach killers I have ever witnessed....they should do nicely when you have trapped the little devils in a corner of a room" Well, my boyfriend just howled and we now often refer to my pumps as "roachkillers".

I occassionally find myself in higher heels than than would be comfortable.

I just keep 'em on knowing that if I tak 'em off I'll NEVER get them back on!


Namaste',

Anita,

I was thinking about at a nice reception/cocktail party where there is no place to sit but you do not dare just kick them off like at home lol

It all depends on my mood, I don't go too extreme simply because I don't want to hurt myself. However I did wear 5 inch heels to work far before I should simply because I wanted too. Man was I in pain at the end of _that_ day heh. I did bring other shoes, but I'm a stubborn cuss at times and refused to take them off. Oh well, it is part of the fun oddly enough. I loved the attention.

I think it's inevitable that heel addicts are going to be caught out sometimes! I don't think I ever had problems when my highest were around 41/2", but I proudly wore my first pair of 5" to church many years ago and decided to take a longer walk home to avoid a steep down hill. the short length of hill would have been much less trouble than that extra walk, and my feet really were aching by the time I got home!

Just occasionally I've had to park further away from my destination than I expected to. Nowadays my usual 51/2" aren't a problem but if I've decided on one of my few pairs of 6" or my, so far only one pair, 61/2", having to walk more than a few hundred yards extra can take its toll. Usually I try to remember to put something lower in the car just in case, but even then my pride might not let me give in!

Worse than walking is having to stand for a long time, and I do try to avoid that if I'm in my highest shoes.

Strangely enough, no. If I put them on and I feel the height is too high for what I might be doing for the day, then I switch.

Not that I am going to wear six and a half inch heels anywhere than at home right now, but one never knows.

Still, a nice pair of 4 or 5 inchers can go anywhere.

Have done especially if a pair goes with the outfit. Then when I get out after a while I think "what was I thinking to wear these out to this place?!?!"

I especially seem to do it if they are a gift...hehe
