Age to start wearng tall heels

What do you think is the ok age for girls (and boys to i guess) to let them wear high heels and boots with heels as tall as 5 inches or even 6 inches? And what about thigh high boots?

I think 14 or 15 is ok. Maybe even 13. As long as they don't dress slutty but conservative with them.

when I was in school. that stuff was around no matter what. Its just how some people where. Attitude was the biggest thing. Ive seen girls wearing sweat clothes all the time called whores and sluts and all. Clothes i think has the least part in it all, especially heels/shoes. Its personality and attitude of people.

I started practicing in heels at 13 and was allowed to wear them out and about from 14 or 15 onwards. I started borrowing my mother's boots from 16 :)

Roxxy, 5 and 6 inch heels?

I was managing 5" heels by 18 as I started buying my own shoes and boots and then went up to 6" heels after I turned 20. I can also choose to wear boots with a skirt if I like now too :)

I've also been trying 7" ballet boots over the last few years after giving in to my curiosity. I love the look and feel of them and can last a few hours in them without too much of a problem.

I don't think there is a age limit what not to wear or wear. I was late hitting my first growth spurts, and heels helped me overcome a little of the height difference, as I was sensitive about it at the time. And I loved how grown up and sophisticated they made me feel. And they sound so feminine when you walk in them correctly.
And I never agree with people sterotype thigh boots= hooker=slut...etc.
It also has to do with what you wear with them, I often wear my 5" thighboots with my business suits with above or blow knee lenght skirts to work. I often receive nice compliment.
If anyone of you watch the devil wears prada, the way she dress is professional and elegant.

I think about 14-15 years, not younger. I myself started at 15.

Hi,

I started wearing stilettos regularly when I was 14. My parents hated the idea ... it will ruin your feet, you will look like a tart ... but I was bloody minded and wore them all the same. I have small feet so 4" was as much as I was comfortable in back then. I think it would be ok at any age if the girl wanted to and was sensible about it.

Love,
Abi

From 12/13 on I wear heels first childish and low. But I remember "fights" with my mum and older sister while I was 14. According my heel height 3.5 inch. Pretty high for a 14 year old girl. From that moment on I have bought just 2 single pair of trainers and nearly wear them. Al the other shoes or boots where hh. I can't remember it exactly but I think that from 18 on I don’t posses any flat or low heel shoes. On the move from my parents place to my own (21) I am sure of that fact.
