Are you more comfortable in heels than in flats?

I am actually more comfortable wearing heels than I am weraing flats. I wear them all the time and hate wearing what most people consider comfortable shoes, like sneakers. I did get into the habit of wearing flip flops because I lived in florida for 5 years, but I prefer a flip flop with a little bit of a platform. There's just something about being taller that I like. And it's funny because at 5'4 I'm really not that short. When I started wearing the flip flops they were actually very uncomfortable and my calves hurt like crazy I guess because they had been used to being flexed in the manner they are when I'm wearing heels. I have mastered the art of running in them, and am more likely to fall if I'm not wearing them. The highest heels I've worn were 4 inches and I loved them.

I am more comfortable wearing flats! Mostly because I'm already a tall person, so when I wear anything that makes me an inch taller as I feel as if I am towering over everyone!!

me too. in shoes that are very flat I tend to get cramps in my calves and feet. the comfiest shoes hare at least an inch higher at the back than the front, and have a curve to the area supporting the foot.
if I am barefoot I walk on my toes, so I think that just shows my feet are more suited to wearing a heel.

WOW!!! I SALUTE YOU!!! I always admire people who can walk or run in heels!!! It's been a while since I wore high heels. After moving to Finland, I don't wear heels anymore, since it can be dangerous to walk on icy streets. It's hard enough to keep your balance with flats on those icy parts of the streets. The last time I wore high heels was on my wedding day in 2006. I wore a 5" high heeled shoes and at the end of the day my feet were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sore he he he...

Hi, I prefer wearing heels too, though my heels are about 2-3 inches. I'm only 5'2"- so I'd like to look a bit taller.
Yet when I'm travelling or go anywhere there's a lot of walking, then I'd wear either flats or shoes. I would be able to walk faster; moreover it's less tiring!

It's more comfy for me when I am just wearing flat shoes.probably because it's very seldom that I use shoes with heels.

I have not worn heels in so long I probaly couldn't walk in them anymore. lol. Heels seem to hurt my feet. I have usually always worn flats I love flip flops I have a pair of Sketchers flip flops that I wear all the time.
You should wear what is comfortable to you. I don't find tennis shoes comfortable either but I am trying to workout at the gym and flip flops don't work for that.

Not me! I love my flats! Tennis shoes, flip flops, sandals... I very rarely wear heels. I only wear them when I have to dress up for something.
