Anyone else find it impossible to wear heels?

[fartmeistergeneral]

Today, due to rain, I wore high heeled chunky boots with my jeans, in order to keep jeans off ground (and avoid embarrassing upward creep of water). I ended up walking like this: imagine you are standing with legs together, then bend as if you are going to sit on imaginary chair - then walk forward.

I looked ridiculous.

Can't do it. Can't do heels.

I don't like pointy toed shoes, though.

I'm 5'9

cannot do over 3inches though.....in the heel dept.

ggirl - they sound fab, go for it!

Nailpolish - agree about clumpy heels and courts shoes

penny lancaster is 6' 1" and wears heels

ohhh see I love pointy shoes with a low kitten heel.

I can't do stilettos, either.

But a 2-3 in. heel is right up my alley.

not keen on the rounded toes variety

I think strappy heeled sandals are the best though. That's when I'd like to wear a higher heel but just can't, my feet scream within seconds.

Strappy sandals rule.

tc get scholl party feet

you get used to it

your feet kind of go numb

Yeah, nowt much sexier than a strappy sandal on a well turned ankle!!!

wtf is a well turned ankle anyway?

scholl party feet are shit though. Been there done it got the blisters to prove it!

pmsl - at getting used to your feet going numb! That's the point, why do it to yourself? No sorry I know I look good when I go out and I'm also comfy, don't need to have numb feet, pinched toes, rubbed raw soles etc.

The strappy bits at the front of heeled sandals always dig into me.

I do wear heels for nights out etc but it is only ok with dh really as he is quite tall, so I don't tower above him (unlike Penny & Rod - hate that look!) but all my friends are midgets and I look like a giraffe.

peep toes are my fave

TC have you tried platform

not as scary as it sounds, great for those who feet get painful in heels

oh my God, no those are far too high. Will try and google aome shoes I'd wear in a bit.

I love they shoes I wore to my wedding -they are really high and ok they are nafftastic white but I ain't getting rid of them ever. They are gorg.

Not for everyone but these are fab

I was a DM teenager (and early 20s too) and have had to teach myself to walk in heels. I like a small stilleto/kitten heel about 1 1/2 inch, anything higher and I need a chunkier heel. I did however get a pair of wedge heeled shoes in the summer and was surprised at how comfortable they were and how easy they were to walk in.

i like a peep-toe as well.

fimbo, those shoes are FAB.

I have some very nice peep-toes...

I love my heels but have gotten out of the habit of wearing them. Still, just got two re-heeled and have a party on Saturday!

I have the same problem, only wear them if I'm going to go out and get blind drunk, that way you don't feel the pain!

Love the Liv shoes Fimbo, the do some yummy boots too don't they!

I can't walk in heels at all... i look like ive pooped my pants
but i got these recently...and i love them...make me look taller and best of all i can actually walk in them
love my shoes
