Heels!

I normally wear a pair of boots but last night I was given a couple of pair of heels. Even though I am a bit wobbly in them, I can actually walk in them (it forces me to walk with full height and lady like ~smiles~. The person who gave them to me was shocked that I could walk so natural in them. Has anyone else have a similar story?

First time I ever wore womens clothing in public was for a drag night and a friend with large feet lent me her 6" stiletto heels which she thought would be funny to see me topple over in. Well all i can say was that egg was on her face when i walked better in them than her. =D

When I started out, I had no idea how hard it was to walk in high heels, but I was willing to learn. I bought 3-4 pairs of 3 and 3.5 inch stilletto heels and boots.

Well, sorry to say, it was money wasted. I couldn't walk more than 20 feet or 5 minutes in those things, and never wore them again. Nowadays, 2.5 inch chunky heels is all I wear, and 2" are even better.

I could probably learn how and get my calf muscles not to scream in pain if I gave it a couple of years. But I don't plan on needing them near that long.

Some of us are BORN to wear heels. The key is to just be a woman... your stride shortens, your arm swing becomes dainty, yor hips sway, your head gets held proudly! I LOVE heels - I just seem like an AMAZON in them, so I limit mine to 1 1/2" now - sigh!

And some of us aren't........

I wore a pair outside and the heels sunk into the soft grass and I walked out of the shoes...

Or...I went to get into the car in heels and one heel caught on the door and I feel across the front seat and lost my wig in the right hand floorboard.....

Or..when I walked onto a porch deck and the right heel went between the boards and I was stuck....

Or when I dropped my scarf and while bending over to pick it up...I stepped on it with a heel and poked a hole in it...

Or...........

I usually wear a pair of low heels. They just make me feel better and i've always loved the way they sound. Sometimes i wear sneakers though as most women never wear heels when shopping for groceries etc. . I don't really want to stand out more than I have too. I try to dress with the herd....

After all of these years, I still love the clickety sound of heels. This has been a great week, getting to dress in my business best for three days, and heels are part of the ensemble. Finally had to put them away to go empty the garbage (heels and mud - bad combination!).

Love, Megan

I have to admit that i took them quite easily. The funny thing is that i have always had bad ankles but now that i have been wearing heels to work most days, i have found that my feet don't hurt like they used to.

and don't ever think you are too tall to wear them. im 5'11" and wear 4" heels. and i have some friends who are much taller who wear them also.

I love heels! The just make me stand so much more femininely. Though Im a true believer in HIGH heels. Baby heels to me are 4.5" :P I'm 6ft naturally so they make me uber tall, but as long as I wear them with confidence I tend not to get too many funny looks :P

I can walk in 5'' heels pretty easily, although still prefer flats I think. I think in the real world I would probably wear heels 2 maybe 3 times a week.

I've been wearing them my entire life so I'm very used to them and find them very comfortable. I always carry a fold up pair of flats for driving and when I'm at my desk, but I love heels and wear them for almost every occasion.

BTW, I'm including wedges in the heel. Most of the heels I wear are of some wedge design or another, but I do have some spikes too.

One of my favorite pairs. Nine West.

I'm 6' 5" (and shrinking)...

BUT...

When the time comes, I WILL be in heels, oh yes...

You can count on it!

I don't care if they make me almost 7 feet tall. I'm gonna wear them for ME and nobody else.

Tall? I'm just about over it..

Love and long, lovely legs...

I love my heels, and I'm 6'4". I have spent hours practicing in them, just cause they are so cool, I have legs and I am proud of them.

Shoes are a way of life, I am so glad in today's world they make em' for girls my size, it's so much better now, really.

Ah this feels like home, a topic on heels!

WAY before I knew I was trans and thought I was "just" a CD I thought that the only heels made for "girls" with feet like mine were from Hollywood Blvd. (ie: 5 inch and up.)

So I learned to wear and walk in 6 inch heels. When common sense kicked in my new collection (small one) of shoes were purchased. I primarily stick to Nine West as they make awesome quality footwear in great styles and they make up to size 12 in some styles.

I don't own a single pair of flats. I just feel weird now wearing them.

As far as height and such, I am 5 10 without heels. My theory has always been, I would rather be 6 2- 6 4 with visually small feet, than just a sort of tall girl with sasquatch footsies.

I wear 2 inch black pumps, love them, I can wear them all day long, no pain. I hope to get to try some 4 inch ones soon, I have found wearing heels helps my stature and I have less back aches at the end of the day, which is a bonus for me.

At work I wear ladies boots with 2 inch heels sometimes. My boss likes to call them my climbing boots. Out and about I rarely wear heels, 4 inch pumps actually do hurt my feet fairly quickly, maybe that's just the fit, I only have one pair, three inches I can wear all day( as shown in my avatar .) I also think that it's a good idea for me to not add too much height.

I just received my 3 inch heels today by the mail (they are really cute :lol:). As far I can tell after walking with them for 1 minute or 2, it doesn't seem to be that hard. It's a little painful for the toes but I getting use to it pretty quickly. Lucky me I have narrow feet for a "man" even for a woman. So I just needed to find a size 11 medium or narrow. The only fear I have is I have flat feet with weak ankles so I don't know how long I can walk with them before I have a lot of pain under the feet (like someone stab them with a knife kind of pain).

Though, I don't really plan to wear more than 3 inch heels since I'm 5'10 even if I think I won't have any problems to walk in higher ones.

      frustration:  the frustration of creative instinct is a notorious evil of the machine age : the state or an instance of being frustrated. : a deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs

      Fighting a fever since yesterday. Been shivering cold. even though I keep the house at 71. Went to bed at about 8 last night slept until my wifes alarm was going off.    Ashley I think you are correct. However, they won't be graced with my presence today.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      That's horrible that they are blaming you for her presumption. I hate to say it but maybe they are looking for reasons.

      I have no skin in the game here, apart from the signal that a re-elected Trump sends to likeminded politicians around the world, which would result in an indirect yet detrimental effect on many people here and elsewhere. So, hopefully what I write here can be used as a reference for how he, and American politics in general, is viewed from a country that is not directly involved.   It seems to me that politics is not taken seriously by enough people in America. Actually, specifically the USA (America can be anywhere from Prudhoe Bay to Panama to Patagonia). Electing a celebrity to high office just wouldn't happen here, let alone one who has overseen the bankruptcy of several of his business ventures and is embroiled in hush-money scandals. I remember during my teenage years when Reagen was elected; the main point of conjecture here was that he was just a B-grade actor. Equally laughable was Arnie as governor of California, although he turned out to be somewhat more socially progressive than most Republican politicians.    I simply cannot understand why the Dems cannot find a decent candidate. Biden has cognitive issues. Everyone expected Harris to step up by now, but no. Where's Jed Bartlet when you need him, lol! In my mind, if Martin Sheen threw his hat in the ring, he'd be elected in a heartbeat because many of you would actually believe that he was the real deal! Even though he's older than Biden!!!   Sorry if that sounds like I am trying to insult the intelligence of y'all. But y'all asked for it, by valuing celebrity over substance over the last five decades or so.    I have no doubt that Trump will win in November, even if he is in jail. His rusted-on supporters will just say, "Yep! That's our boy!!!"

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.
