I looooove my heels and I very rarely wear flats. I’ve no problems walking (can’t run in them - but have managed the art of walking briskly) in my heels and my heels are generally 2 1/2 to about 4 inches - depending on the shoes.
I was looking at the recent stylestrpped column on shoe trends:
And the shoes seem insane. So the question ladies is, how high will you go? What is an okay heel height for daily/normal wear heels and what is your limit for heel height - at what point does it become ridiculous?
On a daily basis wearing heels, I just cant do it. I only wear heels when i go for a night out. And any inch is fine when im out. (until the next morning when my feet just die on me!!) But on a daily basis i always get blisters and what not. :( I would wear some of those heels on that site, Their quite pretty.
I would SO love to try out the gray one- but I won't wear it unless its someone's wedding and stuff. I LOVE my heels, but make sure they're comfortable and you have to have enough practice or it doesn't look nice. My winter boots have to have atleast a 3-4 inch heel, summer I wear flats along with sandals. and I LOVE trying out shoes just for the hell of it!
The highest I have worn was 5 inches to my cousin's wedding - those shoes are HEAVEN!
The highest heels I currently own are 5 inches but I did have some platform peeptoes that were 6 inches.
I love my heels and I’m not exactly short at 5’6". My mum and sister are shorter than me and I love towering over them when I’m wearing my heels
Sehrysh, if you think those shoes are insane you should check these out
When I am dressed up for evening events… 4-5 inches. My highest pair of heels are 5 1/2’’ and I am in luv with them. For those of your that have the 6 inchers… where are you getting them from!!! I wannnttttttttttt.
My fiance picks on me that some of my heels are “borderline stripper” heels… but I don’t care . lol. I’m only 5’1’’ …I Need all the heel I can get!
OMG: to the Victoria Beckham boots!!! I think they look so funky without the heel!
I like wearing flats on a daily basis. If I wear my boots they tend to have a 2 inch heel which is not bad at all. For parties I can wear 3.5 inch heels. Some of my shoes that I have never worn have a huge heel. I really don’t know why I bought them because whether i’ll be able to walk in them is questionable
On a side note Victoria Beckham’s boots look awful. Me no likes
These are the highest I’ve seen, Alexander McQueen’s 10-inch heels that Lady Gaga wore and that 3 top models refused to walk down the runway in, worried for their safety.. I love skyscraper heels but I’ve never seen such an ugly style in my life, apparently they’ve been popular for ages in the fetish market..
I understand the lure of shoes that are "conversation pieces" or "art pieces" - they're funky. But when do 5, 6 and even 7 inch heels become stripper shoes? Or is it less the height of the heel and more the design of the shoe that makes it stripper-esque?
^ I think it's the style rather than the height of the heel that makes some shoes look stripperish, i think esp the ones with more of a platform, I do like the look of them tho.. I love high wedges as well..
the alexander mcqueen shoes are disgusting. did he consider any visual aesthetic before designing? its a visual lump made to make you feet look like dinosaur toes.
other than that. i really really like heels. but i cant wear them on a daily basis. on special occassions or on that one random day when i just feel like looking special
but i really have to be careful with how high i can go, cuz my husband isn’t 6’ 2" you know.
Highest i ever wore was 6 inches and Im 5'7.5" so I felt like a friggin Tower and now i just stick with 2-3 at most and this way i dont have the birds eye view at a wedding or a party.

^ I agree.
On a related note: Platforms make a higher heel wayyy more comfortable in my opinion .... makes sense why strippers wear them. lol
I’d like to think these are just art pieces and will never be worn. But given the crazies out there, wouldn’t put it past a lady of the night or Paris Hilton or Victoria Beckham to actually buy and wear these.
