I'm speaking of those 3 to 4" high heels. I always have this unanswered question in my head every time I see a woman wearing one. Does she REALLY feel comfortable in that? When I get to see their faces, they look so cool and smiling like it doesn't hurt at all. However, I can't help looking at the situation of their feet. To me, it looks like it's some kind of a punishment. Their toes get bent and I'm sure their arches get flexed. Yeah. I do wear 2" high heels at times, but 3-4" is something else. IS it just fashion that interest them in wearing these kinds?

When I was small, I saw my mom looking gorgeous in the high heeled shoes and couldn`t wait to grow up to wear them. As it was, my feet did not accept such high heels and I had to accept second best: a mediun high heel. Now I only wear shoes that are comfortable.

Sometimes I dream of wearing those really high heels, too. But like you, I tried it once and realized it's not for me. lol Yeah, it's much better to wear something comfortable than punish your feet with those.

There are people whose feet don't hurt in it. Well, mines do. But I only wear them on occasions. Other than that, I wear shoes with smaller heels - not flats, not sneakers, but 1-2 inch heels mostly... they are faminine and cute, but not uncomfortable... I'm not going to put my health and comfort at risk for being fashionable.

There are people who use to that kind of fashion and it makes them comfortable, like, I had a classmate last semester. My teacher asked her in front of the class because she always wear 3 to 4" high heels, with fancy colored hair and all kinds of fancy jewelries and clothes and she simply answered she's used to it and only that way she feels comfortable and expresses herself. For me, I cannot wear it at all, I used to wear only until 2" before when I was teaching but now, everytime I wear those high heels, it is just like punishing myself...

Yeah. High heels makes women look taller and gorgeously pretty. There are times that I couldn't help but think how they can manage the pain it causes their feet.

I have heard some girls say that wearing these high heels are not difficult. And they even say that these high heels are very comfortable. I just think no matter how comfortable these high heels are, they can't be as comfortable as my sneakers, right? Although the fashion is important, but the comfort is much more important for me. So I hardly wear high heels. If I have to wear high heels, be sure I have to rest for a week

I think high heels are for fashion. Some maybe comfortable wearing it. Maybe they are so used to it and the shoes fit them well. What I wear is wedge/platform shoes, not high heels. I even have a wedge rubber shoes which isn't available bormally in malls. :) I am not comfortable with my height that is why I wear it to boost my confidence
