Anyone else find it impossible to wear heels?

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 cant. Dont feel a proper woman tbh!!

I can do big clumpy wedges easy enough but a proper shoe that proper women wear - no way! I am like a little girl in dressing up - teetering around.
Then wobble over and collapse. I dont get how you do it??
I am 39 by the way - no spring chick!

Maybe thats it...I too was a doc marten wearing teen .. Never contemplated a heel till way into 20's.
Would like to - I own a pair - I wore them once!

never ever got past being a DM clad teen...bought some new ones for Xmas and I'm 33. Still live in them now. Wore a pair of black 8 holed DMs with my wedding dress. Well they felt like part of my life so we had to be together as I had no one else their (cept DH2B)

I'm 5'9''+, so feel strange in heels even though I can walk well in them. Have always had a complex about being too tall as well as a passion for LK Bennett.

Dd1 has a variety of shoes btw - from DMs to Kurt Geiger Dorothy style sequin shoes. Includes sequinned all stars. I blame myself - at 6 she had narrow feet so I took her to see D and G sandals in Harrods to show her narrow feet could be good... serves me right
