Smile Macho Goth?!!!

I don't wear high heels because I guess I'm a Macho Goth?!!! (Should Macho and Goth ever be used in the same sentence? Have I sinned against the darkness?!). Anyway, I didn't put "because I'm a man" because all my male goth friends do wear high heeled stiletto boots and I'm the only one who's not a tranny. (I know, I know, I always have to be different. I'm a real rebel...). One of them is six foot four inches tall and has a fab pair of SEVEN inch stiletto-heeled thigh-length boots! Yes, he/she does tend to get noticed! Of my female goth friends, all but two, (I think), are stiletto-heel fans.

Although I don't wear them myself, I absolutely love them on others. High heeled stilettos are SO VERY VERY VERY SEXY!

I wear high heels or it depents on what I'm wearing on the day. I have no particular reason of wearing them, I'm just short and it looks good.

I couldn't stand wearing the really thin heals but I did sometimes wear shoes that had bigger thicker heals when I had to dress up. I really don't like them though.

I prefer comfortable shoes. DocMartens or Converse is my usual choice. I used to own shoes with thick heels, they weren't that bad, but I still prefer comfort to sexy look. High heels would make me taller -- I'm 5'6'' -- but the discomfort is not worth it.

I like the 'granny'-type laced pumps or boots with high heels - they're so elegant! Especially with the narrow waist and billowing skirt look. But I can't walk in anything other than flat, supportive over-the-ankle type shoes ... thank the Gods for DocMartens, I'd be lost without them.

I have found after wearing hight heels and platforms exclusively for the last 10 years, that I can no longer walk in flats.

I borrowed a friend's pair of shoes to pop to the shop for more wine so I didn't have to spend 10 minutes buckling up my boots. They were trainers of some description and i felt like I was walking in moon boots. I kept picking me feet up really high off the ground.

I also remember hearing that Dolly Parton's feet are permenantly set in the shape to wear high heels, just like Barbie so she can't wear flats either.

I must suffer for my vain art

I don't even own a pair of shoes with anything smaller than a 3'' heel. Biggest are 8'' heh heh heh.

I have a very good guy friend who is on the short side...about 5'5". He is obsessed with tall girls! When he sees a girl 6' or over, he practically drools. He dated one girl who was 6' 1", and he bought her 7" platform heels to wear. haha, he rocks!

I love the look of heels, but prefer chunkier heels or wedges (like Pennangalan's soles or Underground's), and I only really like high heels if they have a good sized toe platform. I wear my Underground high heel platform boots and shoes quite a bit, and they are uber comfy...the heels may be a little over 4", but with an almost 2" toe platform, it's almost like walking in flat shoes. I do, however, generally wear flat shoes/boots on the nights I know I'm going to get really drunk. I have a fear of getting wasted and breaking an ankle or something.

Here I am with a 103 degree fever and convinced that I'm coughing up my lungs, but this thread made me want to strut about the house in heels, so I did: see

Wah, I got so caught up in strutting about the house that I forgot what I really came to do, post about heels, not post me wearing them.


I loves me my heels. I don't very often get a chance to wear them because, while I am perfectly capable of running in them, I prefer not to. I do a lot of bus catching/bipedal transportation and thus sensible shoes are really a must.

I've never worn high heels in my life. I'm the combat boots type.However, once I was at my friend's house, and I tried on high heels to see how it feels like. I almost tripped and couldn't walk properly! I don't know what I'm going to do when I grow up, and I'll be obliged to wear heels for certain occasions.

I love my heels, though I don't like to wear them for an etended period. My toes start to go numb if I stand in them longer than 30 minutes...

However, I like my tall buckle boots with the 6" heels, and all my shiny stilettos. They make me feel willowy and graceful... I also have a pair of chunky platform boots I wear in the wintertime. (I do it to be taller, too, 'cos my hubby is 6'3")

I'm not Xng, or Chloe, but I am part of everyone else, so here goes: I got my first real pair of heels when I was 13, mum wouldn't let me wear them before then. I'd been clomping about the house since age 5 in pair of bright pink and highlighter yellow plastic dress up heels though. They made such lovely clicking noises on the linolium in the kitched!

Hm... I think I was 16 or so? I don't remember, but probably 16 was the first time I bought a real pair of high heels and started wearing them for something besides dress-up. My mom didn't want me to wear them, so I didn't for a long time.

I was kind of a hippie in middle school, so I wore flats a lot...

More or less. I'd been wandering around in them since I was 5 though. I still have a mishap every now and then though, it just takes practice to get used to them.

I think I wore my first pair of heels when I was 10 but they were kind of chunky and then over time I got more used to wearing heels and now I can walk/run/skip in stilettos no problem. Actually I think the best time to wear high heels is in school cuz you walk then get to rest your feet for a while so they don't hurt even at the end of the day. The big thing is to make sure that they fit really well or else the oressure wont spread out well and the shoes will rub causing blisters.

Yeah... and you could be like me, succubus,queenofvampires, and dress shoes don't tend to fit right I do have a pair of heals, but they look like 1920's mobster heals. I deffinitely implore you to make sure that the heals you are trying actually fit.

All in all... I prefer boots ^^ Pointy and flat or clunky and pseudo-military, they're just.... NICE.

I personally can't stand high heels. Not only can I not walk in them, but I just don't like the look of them. I much prefer boots, or just sneakers. Plus, my husband is shorter than me, so I really don't need the added height when we're out together.

However, there are a few occasions when they're somewhat of a necessity, unfortunately. My parents would have flipped out if I had worn knee-high boots or sneakers to my grandmother's funeral, and I have a wedding coming up where that would not be appropriate either. In those instances, I simply wear really short heels or Mary Jane style shoes.
