I used to love highheeled shoes...

I used to be a dancer in another lifetime ago. he he he L.O.L. When I was younger and I always worked double shifts. From 10 a.m. to 2.a.m. in the morning wearing 7 inch or higher heels everyday and now I can not even think about wearing any kind of high heels my little toe has became my big toe from all that non sense in the past, I have a bad knee now thanks to my awful past too.

Same here, i don't wear high heeled shoes now. Since i got pregnant until now, i can't wear high heeled shoes because my feet easily feel pain and cramps. When i was young and working in the office, i bought many pairs of high heeled shoes and wear them almost everyday. I likes them a lot because by wearing them, it makes me looks taller and sexy. Now, i prefer to go for flat shoes or even sandals, whenever i go shopping or out from my home. I feel my feet more comfort by wearing them.

Aw that's too bad! I love wearing high heels! But I can't wear one everyday because it's not practical with my work. I do wear one when I have the chance. I love wearing high heels because they make me feel sexy. And I'm not tall and I like feeling tall so I like wearing shoes with high heels. :D And high heels can make my feet look sexy because they are not. lol I only have a few pairs of high-heeled shoes even though I love wearing one because as I've said I can't wear one everyday so it wouldn't be practical to buy a lot.

I only wear heels on special occasions, and then no more than 2 inches. Same reason, back and feet problems...

when i was younger, i used to love high heeled shoes. but as the age and weight are gaining, the height of the shoes is diminishing, too

I've never worn shoes with heels the size shown in the picture. I'd love to try them on especially stilettos but I'm scared that I'm may fall. And all this back pain hype surrounding high heeled shoes makes me stay further away from them. But i really really wanna wear them (and walk without falling :-P)

I have always preferred sneakers/tennis shoes and never did like high heeled shoes. I did occasionally wear them, but I would get out of them as soon as I could because they always hurt my feet.

I never really liked high-heeled shoes. I am one who goes more for comfort, so I can't really say I have changed my shoes because of feet or back pain. =P

I've never been really fnd of high heeled shoes. maybe it is because the first pair I wore really made my feet ached. I think they were not really a good pair as they were very cheap when we bought them. Recently, I'e trying to wear high heeled shoes. The recent one I bought which I wore to a wedding is really comfortable. I did not get that aching feeling which I felt the first time I wore high heeled shoes. So,I think I'll be trying out more. base on your story, it sounds like you really liked wearing those type of shoes. I'm really sorry that you can't wear them anymore.

I'm sorry to hear that you stopped wearing the high heeled shoes because of medical reasons but the health is priority and you should take care. Don't be sorry. There are so many so cute designs of flat shoes too. I've never worn high heeled shoes because I'm a little high myself. I feel weird when I'm with my friends and I'm much higher than them. Also my husband is my height and I'll be much higher if I wore heels. So I enjoy my flat shoes and I don't think of heels and I'm happy :).

Well before I don not usually wear high heeled shoes because I'm no used to it but lately I've been wearing it and my feet really hurt much. What I would advice is you can used high heeled shoes but it should be wedge look so that your feet will not get hurt.

Ouch and Ouch..yes I love shoes and at one time the higher the better...as you said 'it now seems a life time ago'. Apparently as we age all of the body changes thus, the so-called "shrinking" derived from the spine. The high heels push the lower back forward this is why doctors don't approve. Also, as we age, our feet actually spread out some and over time we find ourselves wearing a different size or a wider shoe; this has happened to everyone I've known for a long time. It sure is a flashback to see some of the styles that are floating about,especially when we had some of the same styles 20 or 30 years ago I recall being given a pair of 2 1/2 spikes that were real alligator, and the party that had given them to me stated " hang on to them they will be back in style in 20 years", she was right! Like you Mari, may I call u Mari (Mar'ee)? I still desire to and occasionally wear the higher shoes but with a wide heel style, this works. Arthritic knees also add to to problem with myself. Do you have any shoe tales or something to share of your shoe interest? let me know, patti

I love shoes! Whenever id cash in my paycheck, all I can think about is what shoes i'll buy. Unfortunately, I've been staying away from high-heeled shoes lately. My work requires me to be on my feet 8-12 hours a day and no matter how lovely a pair of stilettos would match my outfit, I just cant wear them anymore because of the pain. A pair of flats wouldn't hurt my feet and my work performance.

hello Marguicha :) well, i did not have a personal experience on this because i am not fond of wearing high heeled shoes. i know, it must be hard for you but i think it would be well to follow your doctor's advice. don't be sad that you are not able to wear such.. instead have a good smile and reminisce the good old times. the most important thing now, is that you'd take good are of your feet, your back and especially your health.

Hi, marguicha.....I stopped wearing 'heels' over 10 years ago because of arthritis in both hips. After two hip replacements, all I've worn are sneakers, loafers, and other flat-heeled shoes. I don't miss the heels a bit really. They were never comfortable and the styles were such that my toes were pinched all of the time. It's better to be sensible sometimes.

I've never liked high heeled shoes. I grew up seeing my grandmother's mangled feel (from wearing high heeled, pointy-toed shoes). Never wanting feet like that or the pain that she endured because of fashion, I've always opted for flat soles. My feet look fine, but I still have a sore back once in a while.

Its natural to use high heeled shoes when one is young and enjoys the fullness of adulthood and when its a matter of health one has to take pre caution. It is painful to give up something you enjoy

Hi marguicha Yes I have heard many as you who are forbidden to use them due to painful feet and backs. I still to date wear heels but suppose someday I too will post a discussion that at some point my feet and back may be affected. Not yet but I hear it is very common when one does wear them often, as I do.

I remember wearing heels and really really enjoying doing so. I had to give them up because of ankle problems. I never had back aches, but have many friends who did. I just have to tell myself there are worse things that could happen but I do miss the look of higher heels.

Hi, marguicha. I used to wear it too. But I can't now. Age is the most factor not to wear high heel shoes. It can effect our blood flew. Healthy shoes, according to my doctor, is flat shoes. Better we follow doctor's suggestion, right?
