Do you wear high heels?

I recently got my first pair of heels and I must say I do not understand how women can go out and dance in them all night! They hurt! I only had them on for 10 minutes and when I took them off my little toe was bright red. Also I look really funny when I walk in them. Haha I just know if i wear them out I'll stack it. I think I'll stick to flats for going out... Do you wear heels?

I never wear this T________T I don't like this from 1st time I knew And I also think it's difficult to go out with heels. I'm awkward so I think I can easily fall down if I wear this. And for sure they'll hurt my toe :(

I also hate wearing high heels. I have one pair of dressy heels, but they have a fairly wide heel, rather than a stiletto heel. They are a little more comfortable to wear, but I only wear them when I need to dress up. I also have a few pairs of boots with a bit of a heel, but those are the big chunky heels, almost more like platform shoes than real heels. They're still not very comfortable for going out and dancing, though. Mostly, I like to wear my Doc Martens and my sneakers. Those are both really comfortable styles for me. :)

I can never wear five inches high heels. But I am used to wear once inch heels and it feels perfectly alright on my legs. If I don't use heels at all, my walking style would be different from when I use a one inch heel. My walk it straighter with heels. And it doesn't hurt, as well as it looks nice on me. Well, that's the highest heels I can wear though. Lol...

i used to wear all those cute high shoes and now 10 years later my knees are shot. shoes are one of my favorite things to buy, but i have to be smarter about what i pick from now on.

Yes, I do. I love high heels because they make me feel so sexy and feminine. I have to say though that heels, especially the really high ones, do need some getting used to. I guess then it'll take some time for you to get used to them. I wear the really high ones mostly for special occasions only. At most times, I just wear those of a normal height so that it's easier to walk.

Oh I love high heels. I wear heels almost everywhere. I have several pairs. My heels are comfortable on me. When I shop for heels I try it on and walk around in it to see if it is comfortable. There are some heels that are not comfortable and I don't buy that kind.

LOL when I was a lot younger I used to wear high heels, and suffered the pain too. I still wear them occasionally but usually only if I cam going out somewhere special. When I go clubbing, however, I generally wear my New Rock Boots :-)

No, I do not wear high heels. I have flat shoes. High heels are torture instruments. You know what, I want to have healthy feet when I am old. Have you ever looked at the crippled feet old women have who used to walk in high heels?

I don't like to wear high heels coz it really hurts my feet so much. The last time i wear high heels was during our Senior Prom program in highschool. I also wonder why some women manage to wear high heels comfortably all night. Some women here in our place wears high heel coz they want to extend their heights.

I used to be a slave to stilleto hells in my young and foolish days. I am just under 5' 3" and wore 4-5" 'spikes' to appear long and lean. Admittedly I fell prey to the dictates of the 'fashion police' and paid a price. My knees are now a little unstable and my feet look a odd as the toes and ligaments were forced to adapt during those crazy-making fashion days. Now I am happy to report I wear comfortable shoes usually 'sneaks' when I am in casual mode. Even when I want to dress up I wear a stacked heel...that is only and inch or two. I absolutely refuse to go through what you described in your topic...ever again! Not worth it! I admire the fact that you tried your first pair of heels and realize how silly it is to compromise comfort all for the sake of wobbling around to meet the dictates of the fashion police. Good for you...your feet and knees with thank you when you are a little further along the road of life.

I very very rarely wear high heels... I have a pair of boots that I use from time to time, but that's it. I'm a sneaker-loving girl myself, so heels makes it very hard for me to walk and I get blisters in no time. The boots are the only ones I've ever had that I could both walk in and not kill my feet in five minutes.

i used to wear them when i had to be in fashion shows. i used to model for clothes on stage. i used to wear those during the prom, too. but not when just going out on ordinary days. high heeled shoes aren't friendly on our feet. it makes me feel tired, too quickly. i prefer to have my flip flops and ballet flats, too. better for me.. anne

I love to wear high heels.though i dont wear it regularly mostly I wear those in party.By wearing high heels you can notice that your walk will automatically become extremely feminine.which really looks good.

i had experiences like you and some others here. i bought a slip ons with high heels, i want to get used to the feel of wearing heels because im very petite. yes they really hurt at first. but you would soon get used to it. but i also given up on stilettos because i almost fell down a flight of stairs while i was wearing them. now i prefer wedges and pumps.
