God here I am agreeing with you - I don't like them. Either wear flats or heels - don't 'get' kitten heels at all.

Gobbledigook · 08/03/2007 12:13

Btw, have you got Eve mag?

Whoooosh · 08/03/2007 12:15

whoooosh - why not just wear proper heels then? kitten heels won't make much different and, imo, they don't look elegant or impactful.

Whoooosh · 08/03/2007 12:18

Sorry-very poor attempt at a crap joke-heels for kittens when they go out on the pull or to meet the local Tom cat.

Gobbledigook · 08/03/2007 12:19

Because they're the only 'elegant' heels I can manage to walk in! For me it's either flats, clumpies or kittens.

Well, I am 5' 10" so kitten heels have (sometimes) been a bit of a compromise for occasions when you don't want to wear flats and you need to be a bit smarter. Have worn higher heels for posh dos but can't walk in them and they hurt like hell...

Whoooosh · 08/03/2007 12:24

Ditto for me Happystory.

I would like the shop back. People keep asking what I want for my birthday and I would like to have some ideas.

Jessajam · 08/03/2007 12:26

because there are some skirts in which 'proper' heels make me look like a try hard/slapper and I am so short of leg that flatties will not do unless clumpy flatties for casual type wear which looks ok, and can't wear them at work....so kitten heels it is...

Cloudhopper · 08/03/2007 12:26

I think they were designed to cripple me, because I cannot for the life of me walk in them. It is like trying to balance on an upside-down drawing pin all day.

I have no probs with higher heels strangely. Must have hideously odd feet or something.

Flamesparrow · 08/03/2007 12:31

I'm cr*p with proper high heels - don't actually own any kittens (or kitten heels for that matter), but I want some because they would be a step up from ballet pumps. Sick of being in boots or trainers.

FrannyandZooey · 08/03/2007 12:40

Oh I like them

I am tall, and dp is erm, not

kitten heels look feminine and all that but don't make you look like you are a flamingo

PrettyCandles · 08/03/2007 12:42

Don't think I'd mind looking like a flamingo...long slim legs, gorgeous plumage...not so sure about the big nose, though.

FrannyandZooey · 08/03/2007 12:44

Ah, you know me in RL then, PrettyCandles

scampadoodle · 08/03/2007 12:46

i used to wear them (am fairly tall) but they're a bit Kate Middleton these days, unfortunately. Also I think they probably make my chunky calves look even chunkier

They are for those of us who want girly heels but walk at a 45% angle in "real" heels.
