When I saw my officemate wearing red high heeled stiletto shoes, I was like wow! She's not the skinny type of working girl you see everyday. she's a bit on the chubby side but she looks really sexy wearing those heels especially when she walks... I kinda felt envious with how she can carry wearing high heels... I don't wear high heeled shoes honestly cuz most of the time I either slipped on the floor or sprain my ankle while wearing them or my leg muscles get easily sore after walking with them for about 30 minutes lol... I dress simply to work and look decent but I don't think people have the "hey you look sexy today" look when they see me.Maybe because I'm tiny and still wear flats lol or sneakers hahaha... but yeah, Is it really important to wear high heeled shoes to look sexy?

I don't think so. it needn't to wear high heeled shoes to look sexy!!somebody who don't wear high heeled shoes , is also sexy, and high heeled shoes don't fit all the girls, and girls like to compare with others, so high heeled shoes are popular all the time..lol.. enjoy yourself..

Being sexy has more to do with attitude and personality than just high heels. A woman can look sexy even in bare feet. High heels are considered to be sexy but it wouldn't work on a person who isn't confident enough to carry it off. Being sexy should come from the inside and how you feel about your body and your self, the rest are just accesories like high heels or clothes that might enhance the image that you want to put on.

You know I said that to my officemates before who had been badgering me to change my way of dressing or so to speak my get up hahaha. I always said I feel comfy in them... sometimes though I wanted to wear high heeled footwear but whenever I do I felt weird and had to concentrate every step or my ankles will be done for lol... But yeah... even though I wear simple clothes at some point I feel sexy hahaha even with a rounded figure lol not skinny like the trend today hahaha... you said a woman can look sexy even barefoot...hmmm... the first thing that cam into my mind is that of a woman with short hair like me lol... her hair look like she just got up from bed and in a huge man's shirt which is slipping off one shoulder and walking barefoot toward the kitchen *laugh laugh laugh* hmmm. that might be me lol... in the future hahaha... =P

Now the location matters this time. If you go barefoot, with a loose shirt on, and tousled hair, in the middle of EDSA, I might as well stop my car, roll down my window, and ask, "Where's your can?, I'm gonna drop some coins." LOL

Hey kissieme! Now you listen here! You don't need to wear high heels to look or feel sexy! All they do is kill your feet and make it easier for you to kill yourself by falling! Don't get all into that "fashion crap"! They will ruin your feet, legs, back and more! I wore them for years and suffered and now am paying the price! It is more important to be comfortable and safe! That person will pay believe me! I am telling you from experience! It is not worth it to look sexy and risk your health or risk hurting yourself! Wear what feels the most comfortable! Don't be a fool!

wow!!!! (I felt like covering my head) it's raining scoldings sister... waaaaaaaaah... yay1 thanks for the yelling.... I felt much better for choosing sneakers and flats hehehe... hugs... I guess you're right... at 30 I don't feel any hurts and pains on the balls of my feet or on my knees and my legs are still sexy lol... well rounded shapely sexy...=P some of my officemates who had been wearing those slinky sexy straps are complaining sometimes that their knees are aching and some... lol I just thought it was age calling their attention when they are younger than I am lol... So maybe it is because of wearing heeled foowear? wow! never thought that... I just thought a sprained ankle is the worst case you'll ever get from wearing heeled shoes waaaaaaaah... thank you thank you thank you... hugs... try sleeping with your feet up on a big pillow or two... it'll make your leg muscles and nerves feel better.that's what my mom does... ^_^

I think wearing high heeled shoes is one of the things to make you look sexy because wearing high heeled shoes make your muscle on the leg tight and the whole leg looks slimmer. I always like high heel and skirts :-)

yep, I do think that high heels make the legs look longer and slimmer... I would've tried wearing heels everyday but I can't hahaha. I still go for the flats cuz my schedules are tight and when you have to run to get to the loo cuz I only have like 2 minutes eeeek! it's going to be a disaster for me lol... thanks for replying to my post mermaidivy... ^_^

I think heels are sexy when worn by the right person. It's not the heels , its the wearer . You can put heels on an iguana and it's not going to make it look sexy. A person has to feel sexy . It's more a state of mind . A person could look sexy in a potato sack if they have it in their mind that they are sexy . It's attitude. I can't wear heels at all . I would fall flat on my face . I wear flip flops or go bare foot . When I'm in my bare feet and think I'm sexy , chances are I'm lookin pretty sexy to others .

I think a good deal of being sexy is in the attitude and confidence levels. However, high heels can be considered sexy and I've found that I'm more likely to get checked out when I'm wearing heels than when I'm not. The important thing about wearing heels is getting the right fit and then breaking them in before wearing them out--by this, you should rough up the bottom of your shoe as to increase traction. Admittedly, not all high heels are comfortable to wear and I've gotten blisters before. However, I've found that a quality pair of heels can be comfortable and gorgeous at the same time.

Dear friend, I hope it entirely depends how it suits one and how the other take it sexy. More over there are others ways to be sexy too rather than wearing high heels shoes, likes dressing, like waking, looks, make ups so on. Hence I feel it would be better if the person feels more comfortable and also look sexy if they want to be.

hello shamrack... thank you... yes I do feel that when a person is comfortable in his or her skin, they radiate a sexy aura hahaha or confidence... and that sometimes there are people who look good on a certain style and others will look good at a different one... ^_^ I think mine tends to go on the simple stuff lol. thank you... ^_^

i used to wear high heels all the time years ago because i loved the way it looked but i cannot anymore as i am overweight and my feet take the brunt. they look nice, sure but they are not at all good for your feet or your back.

I do not think that it is necessary for a woman to wear high heels to look sexy or anything. I think part of the appeal is how you carry yourself when you wear them. I wear them because I like how they make me feel, they make my legs look longer and I do draw attention, but I also draw attention when I wear flats. I think you can get the "damn girl you sexy" looks with more confidence and other accessories like necklaces and earrings, and rings etc.

thank you... I still wear high heels is I need to on accasions lol but on ordinary days at work or just leisure, I wear flats for comfort hahaha... ah well... i never had the "damn girl you look sexy" look but when I change my style from my regular ones, I get an occasional "damn girl you look cute" compliments from friends and officemates hahaha...but what I always hear from them is this, "gurl, you're so flawlessly fair skinned, what do you do?" lol... it's my only saving grace I think hahaha cuz it's my natural color lol =P thanks for responding jezebella... ^_^

No I dont think you have to wear high heels to be sexy. I happen to love shoes, all kinds not just high heels but Im a big fan of them. I wear flat, kitten and high heels to work depending on my mood and what I have picked out to wear. I think that mood and what you feel comfortable in has the most to do with whether or not you feel sexy and good about yourself. High heels and a great dress has just become a style icon in this country, but you can look sexy in other things as well.

I guess I was a bit down when I posted this hahaha... and yes sometimes when i feel like dressing up from my usual attire I do feel really sexy tee hee..in a good way... ^_^ hugs...

hahah true but really high heels do add a sexy effect to a woman. it's been proven though it's hard to explain why haha. oh well the struggles of being a woman! men don't realize it's not easy wearing high heels just to have that look! Anyway I agree with the heels thing but i am the same as you i like wearing flats and just go to the office and wear simple clothes. I guess I like to wear comfy things. But I don't mind wearing high heels if needed on a special occasion :D

I don't wear high heel so often, as I can't tolerate the pain on my feet and on my ankles. But I still think I look sexy as well if you have good body proportion. It is just my opinion. Happy myLotting:))

yep, true, I wear em in special occasions lile formal parties or when I was a bridesmaid on two weddings lol. But everytime I wear them I felt like my feet are killing me lol. and you're right, if a body is well proportioned, it definitely calls for a pair of slinky high heels *wink* thanks for responding hellomickey... ^_^

Absolutely not! If you feel sexy it'll show. Yes shoes are nice but that's not a great compliment if it was just her shoes making her sexy. If you feel sexy you can make any outfit sexy! I like to wear sexy lingerie underneath my clothes it makes me walk with a little more confidence. It makes me feel sexier, even if nobody knows i'm wearing lingerie but me! I'm not much of a high heel girl either but I do have a collection of sexy shoes that only have an inch or 2 off the ground and they are great, comfortable and EASY to walk in which is major for me. You don't want your shoes making you sexy YOU are the one making the shoes sexy!

I dont think so.One can look sexy without wearing high heels also if they have sexy personality.It is also changes from man to man and depends on the eyes of the person.A person with a decent look and good inner personality also attracts men.We cant define sexy just looking their outer appearance.

hi mymytri, I think so too. I look more at a person's personality than the outer appearance although these days, most look at the outside and not the inside lol... but wth? I'd still choose sneakers and flats cuz comfort is better than pleasing others lol. hee hee... thanks for responding mymytri... ^_^

Hi, kissieme! Well in my opinion wearing high heels does make a women look sexy if she looks good in them in that way. But, you don't necseearily have to wear high heels just to look sexy.. A shoe that has 1/2 inch to 2 inches can be just as sexy, it all depends on what kind of outfit that you have on.. I can think of many outfits and shoes that I can wear together that will make me look very sexy.. It is also depends on the way that you carry yourself too.. Being sexy can come from the inside too..

hey cream! I think so too... I feel good wearing flats or low heeled wedge shoes though sometimes when we see some girl in high strappy heels, we still say, "wow!" hahaha and yeah, sexiness comes not only from what a person looks outside but it is more on how you project yourself and how you feel inside that shows on even a simple movement of a hand ^_^ hmmm... I remember one male friend who argued about sexiness can never come from the inside but on how you carry what you're wearing and stuff like that lol. I was like ha! shallow! and turned my back on my friend cuz I don;t want to argue lol... I do hope he had changed his mind about that lol... =P

I think it is, for most of people. You can not deny it. People will know you from what or how you look like. High heeled shoes make your legs exposed. For me, I do think people are sexy through how they think, how they comments on something, how they facing problems. You do not need to wear high heeled shoes, transparent or tight fashions, and those weird make up. Those are covering who you really are. Yes, it is okay to show your beauty but I always giving more respect to those who show their beauty to their husband. 070707

I thought the same for years. that when you feel comfortable with what you are on or with your skin, it's enough to make you radiate with sexiness or confidence. lol but nowadays, lots of people go for what their eyes can only see lol... kinda shallow don't you think? hehe .. ah well, we had always been visual beings and we love to see beautiful things... but you're right, I do respect those people who can show their beauty to their partners ^_^

I don't think so. I hate wearing heeled shoes. You're right about the injury and the fact that every step I made was totally life threatening. It's all about how you can be creative in making yourself sexy not only in terms of heeled shoes.

hi, jralivio... Yep, I can only say I got good skin hehehe... fair and still looking young at my age. but I do dress simply cuz I feel comfy with them on. I'd still say I feel sexy even with no make up on, on flats and no accessories. lol thanks jralivio... ^_^ go, flats! lol =P

I think high heeled shoes can really improve a girl's walk.Yea, we all know we have to be very careful when wearing high heeled shoes, so its a bit of more so feminine walking. But it doesnt mean you cant be sexy when you wear flat shoes, you can be sexy whatever you wear just as long you feel sexy and confident wtih how you look. A healthy hair, a nice smile can already contribute to being sexy you. if you think you are not for high heeled shoes, then analyze what are your good points, and make it shine. Do you have nice eyes?, smile and teeth?, perfect waistline? cute face?, then make it shine. Improve it. Happy mylotting!

hello, lucky... ^_^ I think so too... wearing high heels make a girl's walk more feminine. I'm a bit guilty of walking really fast cuz it's like a habit for me already since I don't need to worry about busting my ankle or tripping over lol... though I had slowed down consciously cuz when I was in college my mom told me like I looked like a small ball bouncing rapidly on the ground hahaha... so I walk like a woman in flats now lol not a ball hee hee... Thanks, I do try to make the most of what I have and not on what I put on... *wink* A happy day for you... ^_^
