High Heels, Good or not?
 
I was recently inspired to start a topic about high heels and the people who wear them. Now I do realize that some of you may not wear these...but for the people who do,how do you feel about them,do they make you feel more attractive,or do you wear them because you feel you "should". Does the size of the heel have any bearing on your choice to wear it? Or do you simply avoid this shoe all together? Feel free to answer or not,I'm just making friendly conversation.

Guys, in general, don't like tall women, but that's besides the point.. They make your legs and ass look good. :D

Or were you talking about blatform bottomed shoes, not high heels like stilletto(SP) heels??

Ah, but what is the start of most real life friendships, but mutual attraction?

It's just human. Why would someone want to constantly be looking at somebody they're repulsed by?

But yeah, I know what you mean.
People like that are getting rarer and rare it seems.

Heels are Good Things. And like most Good Things, they should never be abused.

I wear heels with most of my vintage outfits because they don't look quite right without them; with any outfit that includes a nipped-in waist and a knee-length skirt because they make my legs look nice; with formal clothes because I feel I'm expected to; and with my black velvet bootleg pants because they look 'rrrraow!' with them.

The rest of the time I try and take into account the amount of time I'm likely to be on my feet. These days they tend to make my back ache if I wear them for a long time (bring me my zimmerframe...)

If I know I'll be walking on grass or standing for more than two hours at a time I aim for flats - or at the very least wedges - to prevent the Ministry Of Silly Walks Syndrome.

For work and for shopping, ballet flats and pretty thongs (no, I mean flip-flops) are Godssends.

I love heels. I'm a big fan of platform MaryJanes. Mary Janes are usually the only shoes I really like though I've been on the hunt for a pair of 1940's ish dance heels.

I think heels are sexy, though I usually tend to stumble a lot since I really don't have the occasion to wear them.

Oh yes! I have a pair as well, they are fabulous with striped stockings.

I'm a fan of high heels. But damn they hurt my feet after 20 minutes. I remember seeing
an erotic dancer on tv, she had 9 inch heels on! I could never wear such shoe. I love the way super models look on heels, they look very curvy and long...

Any outfits I wear that don't go with my boots will usually go with heels. I like them, but if I'm going to be walking for any amount of time over difficult terrain the heels will have to go. The pain sometimes just isn't worth it.

I might start taking pole dancing lessons (purely for comedic value/my own private pleasure) in the near future, and for that the dance teacher won't allow anyone to take lessons without at least 3 inch heels on.

I suppose that's why Models arn't that popular. Oh wait....

I like high heels. They make me feel sexy. I tend to only wear them when I know I'm going to be sitting a lot. They make your feet hurt, although it IS possible to become used to wearing them, I don't have the patience or the want to get that far.

Being a "6 ft 4 in" guy I tend to prefer taler women. Do I like my girlfriend to wear high heels - you bet! Do I like to watch other women wear them - you bet!
Also I admit that from a "healthy" point of view those (really) high heels should be banned. So my girl doesn´t have to wear them all the time - just occasionally in bed is fine *wuhahaa*

Well, I like tall women, but I am a bit...submissive. Anyways, I personally think that there not many thinks sexier than a attractive woman in a sexy pair of heels or stillettos. Even if they are a bit over the top with straps and such it is still quite sexy, in this man's humble opinion.

Blushing Heliophobe 03-07-2006 01:07 AM

For a 5'3 woman, there is something intoxicatingly wonderfull about strapping on some heels and towering over the men-folk. I love it.

And Xng's got something there - if a guy can't handle a woman in heels, then he can't handle her. Not the other way around =^^=

I tend to fall in love with guys that are already shorter than I am (I'm 1 meter 78, which is supermodel-tall), so I don't like wearing high heels, I don't want to look like a giant next to my boyfriend.

Besides, I have really huge feet, so it's almost impossible to find elegant and feminine shoes in the regular shoe stores. I usually stick to comfortable flat boots and ballet shoes.

I've never even worn really high heels (which is anything more than 3 cm for me), and I don't think I'm able to walk on them anyway.

Wise Child 03-07-2006 11:18 AM

Love them. Love, love, love, love love LOVE them. I'm a shoe whore.

I do wear flats though, especially during the day if I've got walking to do, like for shopping etc. I like cute little ballet pumps and mary janes. But I'm a high-heeled girl at heart.

Wise Child 03-07-2006 11:25 AM

I... it... *falls into blissful stupor, complete with glazed expression*

I'm 1.78m, too. I can't stand high heels. Feet shouldn't be tortured! I guess flats are my thing!

Wise Child 03-07-2006 11:27 AM

I love the clicking sound they make when you walk.

Wise Child 03-07-2006 11:30 AM

Yep. And sek-seh!

pheramoans 03-07-2006 11:51 AM

Well, i'm only a very short 5'0..
So I enjoy the extra height occasionally, of course. That is, unless I have to walk a considerable distance - then I would obviously avoid them.

The heel doesn't really have any effect on my choice to wear them, however i do prefer boots with a large heel rather than high heels most of the time. They're alot more comfortable and easier to walk in.
