Fashion heels - usually

Because of my height I limit heels to 2 1/2" for going out. I usually wear 1" or less - all sorts though.

I guess I have about 6 stiletto pumps, 2 or 3 espadrilles. But my favorite are strappy sandals, t-straps and sling back heels. In the winter I wear clogs.

Other than that I wear open sandal flats and ballet slipper flats - I guess I have about 30-40 pairs of shoes.

After wearing dock type shoes for the last 30 years, high heels are quite the challenge for me....

When I go out in heels, I take a pair of tennis shoes with me to change into....

Dang, I'll get used to it!

I love high heels but problem is they are not very practical for walking out in. So I usually take a pair with me to change into if on a night out. FoR shopping trips just 2to3 inch at most. But the other day I went out in ballet pumps for first time, as I was in leggings and top and they made my back ache like hell.Daniel

I tried 3" stiletto and narrow-heeled shoes, but I found that i just can't walk in them comfortably more than a few yards.

I prefer boots, sandals or wedge heels, as they are the most comfy to walk in. Even then, I've gravitated to chunkier heels for more support and ease of walking. I have a problem with the toes on one foot, some of which don't lie flat, and with shoes that don't completely cover the toes, one or two pop out from the shoe and it becomes not only painful to walk, but embarrassing.

Ugh, its always something. ^_^

I love shoes of all variety. But i have more shoes in the 3" range than any others. That is high enough to make me feel like my legs are longer, slimmer and be comfortable and easy to walk in for hours. (i still only walk out at night when no one else is around, scared of people still ): ) I have plenty in the 4" range, but they are not meant for long hours of wear. More for short wear when i really want to elongate the leg and feel sexy. I have a pair of Prada shoes with a very thin heel that looks like a flower stem, I love them and they are light as air and feel really good when walking. A lot more stable than i had expected. I just got a few pairs of wedges and really like walking in them. Heavier but still makes me feel good in them. Just had to return a new pair of boots with a beautiful wedge heel. Was sad as they fit the foot, the calf and the heel was 3" but the area around the upper ankle/lower leg was cut to fit a skeleton. Soon as i get my refund for them i will re-order a size up as they are just too gorgeous to let go.

It is not so much a style that i like as much as a style that i like to match for what i am wearing.

At 6'2 I'm not really a fan of tall heels. I probably should get some. But I typically wear flats.

I love heels, but I limit my wearing them to special occasions. I am 6'1" too, so anything over about 2 3/4" I think just doesn't look great on me. Spring and summer I love sandals. Winter flats and ankle boots.

Have fun shopping and have a Fabulous Day!!

I go to Avenue and Catherine's, buy those inexpensive 'thong sandals' (under $15) and wear them all season. Then give them away - buying new ones for the next season. I LOVE to show my painted toenails, and highlight my ankle bracelet. Decided to add toe rings this season. PRETTY FEETZ!

In New Orleans we have four seasons: Summer,January, February and March.

When I was a 'woman style watcher' (getting fashion tips at the mall - strange way to do it if ya think about it), all the women were wearing those thong sandals. It's what we do here - even in the winter (February).

And like you 2 1/2" - 2 3/4" height is the highest I wear in public. Although my legs look great in full heels, at almost 6'-2" I really don't like ducking under door frames.

Shoes ROCK!

When I wear heels, I wear the chunky ones because I tend to totter and fall down a lot....

Thanks Sally, Catherine's, I learned is owned by Lane Bryant or vice versa which I do go to. Thanks for the info. If I get to be a bother just hit me with a noodle :). Oh btw the way Donna Jean if things start to get to totter too much, don't forget to add power, lower the nose, and drop your flaps.(This is aviation speak for u non pilots out there)

Have a Fabulous Day!!

I like kitty/wedge heels that dont go over 3 inches. I don't know I could maybe go a little higher as I am 5' 9" but I just like to keep it simple and subtle.

I rarely wear heels, but when I do, I wear 5 3/4" platforms.

...those sound like str..er..dancer heels.

To the OP: if I could wear heels, I'd totally wear chunky heels on casual days. Regular heels for business or going out at night.

I love wedges. They have the feel of a stiletto, with the comfort and stability added in. Plus they are just so Gosh darned sexy. :)

Almost all my shoes are in the 3-4 inch range. I'm 5'6" (almost) and the heels add the length I need to my stocky biker legs. I can walk all day in them without any issues. They tend to add a bit of swagger to my walk too. Maybe its my head, but I sure feel sexy in them.

My favorite pair of shoes are two and a half inch stappy boots, They have a chunky heel and are surprisingly comfortable.

I also have a pair of ankle boot with a two inch heel, also chunky and comfortable. Ya'll put the bug back into me, I must get more heels, and though I'm just a tick below 6', I don't mind wearings heels higher than 3", after all, my legs are just so darn sexy!

I have a pair of black velvet four inch Pleaser Pumps I do not know what kind of heels they are but they are so sexy I wish I could wear them at work or at least somewhere without carpeting. My apartment is all carpeted except the kitchen and bathroom and I want to hear the click click of my heels as I walk but that is another topic.

I voted wedge heels are my favorite, more stable. I am 6'4" and own a couple of pair of 4" heels (get's lofty up there), I have practiced walking and wearing them, but rarely go out in them. I prefer flats really.

I wear wedge heels at least a LITTLE every day, even if it's around the house. Mom is very active in some social stuff, and I get to wear really pretty stilettos to some nice parties. It MEANS that I have to wear heels just a little bit every day, so that I can wear stillettos without looking like I'm an 8th grader going to her first school dance.

Himmm... I have yet to try any shoes myself, but I am DYING to try some like calf/knee-high kitten-heeled boots. Something like this ---> http://www.styleceo.com/images/stores/899/1/125-zola-1-heel-pig-leather-knee-high-boots-mens-size-by-ellie-shoes-8928476 (Only preferably not ~$80.00+!! *faints*) The biggest problem for me though, is find any that fit since I'm a 4E and I'm also worried about comfort since I have pretty high arches too. :unsure:

Oh, and...

In New Orleans we have four seasons: Summer,January, February and March.

In Missouri, we have four seasons as well: Tornado Season, (Too) Hot, Tornado Season (again), and Ice Box. Hehehehehehe... :lol:

From the choices in the poll, I'd have to say kitten heels. And not just because the name's adorable.

A lot of the ones I've seen have a very sharp point at the toes though, which I'm not a fan of, add the fact that I also don't like open-toed shoes and that it can be hard to find nice shoes that fit and I've yet to find a pair in stores worthy of buying.

I'd probably have better luck if I went down to Toronto. Bigger city = more selection.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable

      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.
