Ladies i need your help: Ladies and heels

Shocker

I have an idea for a story floating in my head. My wife doesn’t wear high heels, so my experience is very limited.
What heel height would you wear if you tried to impress, yet still be able to walk.
It would be great if you could send me a reply on how tall you are and what size of heels you would wear.

Shocker i am 5-5 and wear 4″ heels on a daily basis to work. i do have some lower pumps and such but i rarely wear them. i have one pair of 6″ red sole Louboutins that were a special treat. i can’t bring myself to wear them out as i do not want scuff up the sole. i also have two pairs of platform heels with 8″heels and 2″soles…..i call them my hooker shoes….lol. on the weekend when out shopping i will wear heels with jeans quite often.

For what it’s worth, I have slight balance issues sometimes, so I tend not to wear heels. Used to wear about half inch heel but that was before balance issues which developed during the pandemic.

I’m 5ft 8inches….. And I wear 3inch heels on an almost daily basis, I wear 4inch sometimes too. Love my heels.
Oh also wedges.

leftwanting thank you for the precise answer.

leftwanting I have a followup question: how fast can you run in your 3in heels?

leftwanting

Well I’m 5′9″ and wear heels quite a bit, and wedges too like leftwanting (which I prefer). For work I have 1″ and 2″ heels though I do have a couple 3″ pairs but those are for dress parties and I am not running in those without likely breaking my neck. 🙁 That T-Rex would totally have eaten me in Jurrasic Word. Honestly give me some flats or runners and I’m going to be happiest.

wrigglingbeauty I love that you’re a tall lady who wears heels! Some taller women I know feel embarrassed by how tall heels make them feel. My ex was 5′10 and she never wore them. She hated being taller than me (I’m 5′8) and didn’t like how much the heels exaggerated that. I actually loved it though b/c she looked like a tall, blond viking princess or something. lol, she was a bitch but she looked good in a pair of heels.

It depends how many cobblestones are outside. I learned from experience 😉

But anything more than 7 cm (3 inches?) is difficult for me to walk. Making me wear something like 10 cm is like punishment 🙂

I’m only 160cm so I try to wear high heels when I can.

Kylie Cobblestones are like Foosball, for the devil. 😉

So is this research providing good inspiration for your story?

Kylie it does indeed. I was trying to find out what heel size a moderately tall woman would choose, and how somebody on the small side would pick. One of my characters is very conscious about her diminutive size, and harbors resentment against anybody taller.

I like 2 inch heels or 4 inch heels .i can walk perfectly fine in either, but if im just running out to the grocery store then I’ll go with the shorter ones. If im dressing to impress, im going with the 4 inch. Although I could also perfectly comfortably grocery shop in the 4 inch. I’m not running in either. A fast walk is fine though. I wear a blocky heel. 5’9”

The ones I tap dance in are 2.5 inches.

I’m sorry to be late to the party, but…

I’m 4′9″ and jiggly, totally unathletic and clumsy. I stumble when the wind blows and trip over my own feet no matter what I’m wearing. I don’t drive cars and stay off bicycles and ladders and stuff so I don’t kill anybody (me). And I walk like a cow in heels but wear chunky three-inch pumps at work sometimes anyways because they’re more comfortable, the guys like it when I walk like that and, well, that’s the uniform. Part of the point is for me to be uncomfortable though, and I work for tips so I usually go with something a little more dramatic. In particular, I have an adorable little pair of five-inch spikes with two-inch platforms and little straps around the ankles. They put every one of my 97 pounds on the balls of my feet, and the tension that creates in my calves and butt feels amazing. Those shoes make me wobbly and force a…unique posture that I feel in my whole body. and that I’m absolutely certain they were designed to create.

I’m a jeans and t-shirt girl. I weor sneakers at my other job and take whatever shoes I’m wearing OFF when I’m home. I normally only wear heels at the bar or when I’m working other jobs where they ask, and I don’t wear them well but I like how the high heels on a small girl make me look and feel, especially the mules.
