Not to wear heels because I'm 5'8''?

[Joogle]

I don't really wear heels (although I probably would if I was shorter as I think they are very glam) as I don't want to tower over DH, am I overthinking this?

I'm 5'9" and normally wear flats for reasons of comfort.

When I do wear heels I look very tall but lovely thank you very much.

scarletforya your Drag Queen comment is below the belt. If you think you look like a drag queen in heels don't wear them but you're not spoiling our fun

I'm 5'10 and never wear heels as I would tower over dh 6'0

It has nothing to do with him being any less of a man (what a odd thought) more that he is slender and I am a tank so we would prob look like maw and paw broon.

We have to go to a lot of fancy dinners with his work and all the woman are petit skinny things so I do stand out, trying to find nice kitten heels is not much fun.

In saying that I do like my height on a day to day ballet pump basis.

I didn't know Nicole Kidman was on mumsnet, although Tom left you years ago get over it.

Seriously of you like heels wear them if you dont then don't.
I am 5'7 and have worn up to 5" inch heels. What stops me now is I am overweight and dont feel comfortable in heels now, I can maybe manage 2" but not all day and night any more.
And dp loves me in heels as he really likes tall women.

I'm 5'9 and tend to wear 1-1.5 inch heel during the day (I have a mile to hike to work over cobbles so I can trog easily at that height heels). But going out tends to be anything from flats to 4 inch depending on mood.

An old friend of mine was 6 feet even and wore 4 inch heels the whole time. And could still hike a mile to town faster than I could in trainers...

But at the end of the day go with what makes you comfy and happy.

I'm the same height and i don't where them much either!

Maybe a small heel if a special occasion and i recently bought some of those mini boot type things with a bit of a heel to wear that aren't too bad. Anything higher and i have the grace and poise of Miranda.

It's nothing to do with DH, he's tall too. I just cannot get comfortable. It's years of wearing flats. I envy people who can wear stillettos and look good in them.

I do get a shock sometimes when they take them off and appear to shrink to the height of Ronnie Corbett though

I'm 5''7 and don't wear heels, husband is the same height as me so I'd look like a transvestite looming over him (but minus the glamour), it might make other men think he has a big knob to be able to pull a leggy beaut!?
Also too clumsy & lazy for heels, kitten heels & pumps visually offend me..
But I do love the fantasy of being 6 foot tall in 6 inch heels & pushing drunken louts/bitches away (gently) by their foreheads, all Amazonian >sigh

I'm 6'2" and used to wear at least 3" heels all the time. Now it's been too long and I can't walk in them anymore, which is a shame.

I used to love towering over people.

I occasionally wear them if we're going out somewhere special and I don't have to walk too far.

But, I'm lucky as DP is 6'7", so he's still taller

No, I don't wear heels because they're uncomfy. I don't have that problem with DH as the heels I wear aren't that high, but on our wedding day the photographer kept asking me to take off my shoes so I looked shorter than DH in pics.

I rarely wear heels as they make me taller than dh who is a short arse only 5'10. Doesn't bother him as much as me!

As a result, when I do wear them I find it really hard to walk normally.

I admire my colleague who wears high heels with seemingly no effort. But when she takes them off her feet look a bit gnarled!

YANBU to not wear heels whether you are 5'8 or 4'8. Heels are the work of the devil and I hate them.

My ddi is nearly ten and is already 5ft 6 inches. She loves being tall and cant wants to be old enough to wear heels.
If I wear heels i am taller than my dh and i really couldn't give a stuff.

cant wait

Heels on tall women don't look great? Absolute bollocks.

Christian Louboutin makes his heels for women with long legs and he knows heels.

I'm 5"10 1/2 and I wear heels, didn't for ages because of low confidence but now I realise I look very good in them

Do it!
