Giving up on high heels

Last weekend my significant other Kathy and myself went out and I got all dressed up including wearing a pair of my high heels.

I love the way I look in high heels but it occurred to me just how uncomfortable high heels are to wear.

I don't need to wear them at work, at play, when going out on the town, or for any other reason.

My ex-husband doesn't need to wear a necktie at work and he has given up wearing ties. He finds them uneccesary and uncomfortable.

I feel the same way about high heels. I am beginning to think I should give up wearing high heels. They are not comfortable, they are not good for your feet I am sure, and I dress plenty feminine enough and look feminine enough where I don't think I need to wear high heels to make myself look feminine on ANY occasion.

Has anyone else come to this conclusion and decided to no longer wear high heels?

And if you have decided to give up wearing them, have you stuck to it, or did you go back to wearing high heels again because of social pressure or whatever?

Well SG, I wore heels last night. So much for my pledge to quit wearing heels!
I still don't plan on wearing heels often.
But you are right, they can look classy.
I'm glad you like them.

I said somewhere else on here that I can't wear heels. *SOB*

My funny left-handedness means that my feet tilt inwards. I can wear chunky heels, but i don't go higher than two inches. It's so funny when my friends who can't walk in heels fall over in public.
One of my friends fell literally on her face at school on Thursday infront of about 300 people. It was so funny.

Why risk putting yourselves through this embarassment?! I'm with you Tina, I'm staying with flats! Mostly.

I love wearing heels and I think I look 100% better in them, no matter what the outfit (well, except maybe for shorts). But, they are terribly uncomfortable. I don't have to go anywhere during the day anymore so I don't have to wear them much but when I go anywhere business/professional the heels come out. Down here in Florida they are usually sandals but I just bought a new pair of pumps to wear to Ohio next week. Hope they won't kill me. I'll have my flip flops stashed so that I won't die walking through the airport. I generally even wear platform flip flops though. Even though I am tall (5'9") there is something about the height that shoes give me that I just am adicted to.

I'm  on the fence about high heels. I have at least one pair. But I'm usually casual, sporty too.

 

 Enough said!

I rather spend a bit too much money for super comfy high heel I can run(fast)& dance in.

Even when they're 4inch heels!

I add padding, and check that it's comfortable& stable from the first time. Otherwise, it goes back on the shelf, baby.

they can be uncomfy im with u on that i wore some the other day that tore in to the back of my heel and pelled the skin off! Not only that they give me spider veins so now i only wear heels occasionally:(  I suggest you look into flats there cute and in style this season.

I don't wear high heels that often, but I love wearing them when I am dressing sexy, with a beautiful dress or skirt and blouse, with nylons and high heels. Most women I know like to get dressed up and wear high heels.

Tip Toes are cushions for the balls of your feet that stick to the bottom of the insides of your shoes. They pad your feet and keep them from sliding forward. Here's a link to a picture:
