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.

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.
