How HIGH a Stiletto (WITHOUT Platforms!) can you wear? - Page 5

I'm so jealous of those of you who can wear really high heels!
Anything much higher than 4.5 inch is difficult for me as I have really small feet!
With 5 inch my feet are past vertical and I am right up on my toes which makes it tricky to walk!

If your feet are vertical in 4.5" heels I expect you look really sexy anyway, as I think a lot of it has to do with the angle of the feet as much as the actual heel height. I think 1" platforms are good too because they aren't obvious but really add to the heel height.

I can comfortably wear 5.5" all day, have worn 6" all day and in those my feet are completely vertical. In some shoes 6" is too much, but depending on what I do I'm fine in them.

I think I mentioned before that I had a 5 inch pair sat in the back of my wardrobe for years.
However, recently I bought two more pairs. Since I've been visiting here I've managed to spend some days here and there (voluntarily) in 5inch heels, even at work which I never had done before.

I spend most of my day at work in 4 inch heels and wear 5 inch heels for dinner and most evenings out. If I am not dancing or walking much I can do 6 inch heels. Most days I am in heels for 14-16 hours a day.

Here's my personal breakdown....

1" - I hope they are just a gift I am wearing to make someone feel good because they got me them.

2" - the must be cute and I hope it's strappy or ropey...don't mind the chunky heel, but please be a little bit sexy.

3" - hopefully it's got some cute color, style, or a fun heel. It's most company's 'highest heel' and we all get a laugh.

4" - pretty much a heel to wear for work...close to 4" they are...maybe a little lower or higher, but a work heel

5" - if it's not time for the clubs in a fun 'Friday Night Heel' then it has to be something I just had the urge to wear and did

6" - Pretty much a bedroom heel.... either done for a BF who claimed my heart or I drank too much tequilla and took up the dare to wear them out!

luvs,

The highest heels i can walk in is 16,5cm.
Sometimes wobbly, but i can manage them for a full evening out.
Haven't tried higher, i don't think higher is possible for me as my feet are totally vertical in my highest pumps.

I had some time on my hands and was looking at the votes and like I saw in another thread a lot of guys have voted which kinda distorts the actual result.

Here are the share of female votes:

3 inch 0 girls (out of 2 votes)
4 inch 1 girl (out of 19 votes)
5 inch 17 girls (out of 68 votes)
6 inch 22 girls (out of 58 votes)
7 inch 5 girls (out of 16 votes)

So men and women included the majority could go up to 5 inches, but for just the girls most of us (myself included) can go to 6" without plats.
