I am v tall ,when i go out i only ever wear a low heel.
Is it truly impossible to find a kitten heel that looks good?
If you are v tall what shoes do you wear when you go out?

I'm not tall, but kitten heels are just so SO wrong. Wear proper heels and be proud of your height. Kitten heels always look broken to me, like there's something missing. I suppose what's missing is the proper heel!

Lesquigh, if you aren't tall , you won't understand why I have to restrict myself to only wearing kitten heels. I adore proper heels but could never wear them.

Leopard heel you say wannabechic1?
Will take a look

I'm tall. I'm not keen on kitten heels either. How about some block heel shoes - are they still fashionable??

I'm tall and I just wear the high heels. I've got to quite enjoy towering over everyone.

I suppose it depends how tall you actually are though?
Im 6ft 1 without shoes so if i were to wear higher heels i would just feel ridiculous.

I agree, just embrace it. I'm a mere 5ft 10, DH's cousin is 6ft 1 and looks amazing, she wears high heels.

I have a few pairs of Irregular Choice shoes and bloody love them.

www.irregularchoice.com/shop/xhr-list/product/7099/jazz-hands.html Lower heel.

www.irregularchoice.com/shop/xhr-list/product/7084/mal-e-bow.html Might be too high for you. :)

I like kitten heels, LK Bennett have some nice ones.

A friend of mine isn't that tall but her husband isn't tall either so she only wears kitten heels maximum, she always looks great.

Kitten heels are truly foul creations! Can't you go for a low block heel instead?

I have a bad knee so I embrace the kitten heel

I'm 5 ' 10 and look awful in kitten heels ( sort of as if I'm advertising the fact ' I'm tall and trying to hide it ' ) I love wearing really high heels and making a statement:)

Madamscorp · 16/10/2015 16:58

well i hope i dont look awful in them Sad
I have very low self esteem so certainly wouldnt like to attract anymore attention to myself by wearing heels any higher.

Poste Mistress in size 8.

I feel your frustration with lack of size 8s. It's crap!

Would black suede ankle boots work? They'd work with skinnies/trousers/black opaque tights...
