    I love and hate heels with a passion!!!

    I'm a demon at the end of the night for not being able to walk in them so rarely wear them out any more.

    I wear heels for two reasons 1) they make my legs and ass look fantastic 2) they make me taller which i love because im basically a midget! :P

    i always bring flats with me though because inevitable i will be crippled with the pain of them! :o

    Sometimes good shoes just need to be broken in. Any time I had to break in a pair of docs, I was in some agony, heels cut to bits, blisters, the works. But once they're broken in they're the most comfy things ever.

    Breaking in new Docs ? Without doubt a form of torture.

    I have about 10 pairs of gorgeous high heels that I have never worn due to the fact I walk like a baby deer in them. Everytime I get a notion to put them on my boyfriend refuses to leave the house with me:( I am jealous of girls that can wear really pretty shoes.
    Although a tip I have picked up along the way is if you have fallen in love with a pair of shoes and the heel is too high, bring them to a cobbler and get them cut down to s wearable size.

    Wouldn't you destroy the integrity and balance of the shoe by doing that?

    In both a physics sense and a fashion sense.

    There's a recurring word in this thread I see. . . . . . .Pain.

    Nothing is worth self inflicted physical torture and crippling pain.

    Or is it?

    Ladies,

    May I give you some advice?

    LOOK AFTER YOUR FEET!

    Three times tonight I have seen women cut their feet (one quite badly) because their shoes 'were too sore to walk in' .

    If they hurt you don't fuppin wear them in the first place, real men don't care what height you are!!

    What must your bedsheets be like in the morning after spending all night barefoot on a scummy disco floor?

    You spend fortunes on these bacon slicers and then you go home without them, or with just one of them. I have that many single ownerless heels in my house that people nickname me 'Prince Charming'

    Thank You.

    I think your looking for the fetish forum

    I've pretty much given up wearing heels. They're always uncomfortable and always rip your feet apart.

    However,since giving up on buying high heels, it has been near to impossible to find flat shoes that go with anything. Some things (most things) are made to be worn with heels,and look weird with flats. Besides you standing out as the one girl not dressed up. Unless you're wearing a skirt and heels,you may as well be wearing a burka

    OP,
    agreeing on the point being made but we arent all like that-have personaly never wore one pair of anything resembling heels beyond the small heel of long & short riding boots/muckers/yard boots/hunter wellies;all used for gripping stirrups.
    have never understood the concept of any other heel.

    How would that work? The shape of the shoe is made to suit the heel size. If you cut the heel down then the shoe would be unbalanced as the sole of the shoe would hold what's left of the heel up in the air.

    apparently there's a small bit of give, judging by stories on google and
    1
    Place your high-heeled shoe on the end of a tabletop so that the heel hangs over the edge.

    2
    Lower the heel until the back end of the ball of the foot touches the table. The part of the heel that hangs below the tabletop is removable.

    3
    Take your shoes to a reputable shoe repair shop. If you performed Steps 1 and 2 correctly, the cobbler's approximation of how much the heels can be shortened should closely match the table test results.

    Tips & Warnings
    Altering heel height changes the structure and balance of the shoe at any length. It is rarely feasible to remove more than one inch from a heel.

    This does not work with high heels though. They will break you in long before you break them in. Also, a lot of high heels will never be comfortable, many of them are just designed really badly. Even the expensive ones.

    I have given up on really high heels, used to live in them, but now my poor feet are wrecked and I honestly don't think they are worth the effort/pain any more. Wedges all the way!

    I did say sometimes :p

    I've only got 2 pairs of heels myself, 1 I'm probably never likely to wear, and my other pair, which are these: http://images.instagram.com/media/2011/08/05/bbd0c274946d40e09c013436a1958d93_7.jpg

    they did hurt a bit, but they're comfy now :)

    real men don't care what height you are!!

    Because some men do if a girl's real height is very tall or very short!
    I would be interested to know if girls like my bag or shoes or what ever not just to attract a lad. As well as something I like and love I'd wear it if its my kind of style and suits me and is smart/trendy/comfortable too.

    I like heels but can't wear them for very long so can't wear them at all, nice to look at but can't wear them. I be lucky enough to wear a kitten heel or medium heel that I could cope with but could still end up with sore feet and a nightmare to walk long distance in, short distance is fine and not standing too long in them. At least you can get a nice shoe/sandal as a kitten/medium heel and nice flats on occasion.

    I do be concerned about my height when going out as I am quiet short but even with a heel makes a little difference but not that much a difference when people around me are taller than me. If they close to my height flats don't matter.

    I often either wear a kitten/medium heel or flats going out better for me and my feet if going to a few places or walking/standing/dancing a lot in the night.

    On a daily basis I am either wearing flats/pumps or trainers/boots with a low heel/flat heel. So you rarely see me in heels unless I am out, its an occasion or a wedding!

    My feet are small and narrow which makes it harder to find shoes at all for me and for my foot size to fit into. On top of that I have a low arch so in a way I am better off without wearing too high a heel! Anything more than 3 inches I cannot wear them, 2-3 inches I can get away with for a certain length of time but flats or low/kitten heel for me! :cool:

    Oh for got to mention about being stepped on with heels, hasn't happened to me yet but the last two nights I went out it happened to one of the girls. One was even bleeding after it and cue serious bruises the morning after!

    Have you those on today? Or is that from your archive of photos of your own shoes? Bit hot for closed toe shoes today, no? Those at least have a nice thick rubber sole though. So as not to feel every pebble etc.

    High heel sandals can be sexy though. Thats why they put themselves through the pain, to impress us men folk. :pac:

    totally wrong.
    they dressup only to impress they (girl)friends and to look like the hottest of the group.
    They don't care about you, they care about the compliments about their new bag, shoes, dress etc..
    Total bollocks.

    Can't understand women who put themselves through such pain either. The front of the shoe is the sorest for me if they're pointy, so I wear the non pointy ones or mid height heels. It doesn't have to be either super high or flat.

    no, wearing a pair of flip flops today ;) and the picture is one I googled. but yeah, they've got a really comfy insole as well. my other pair of heels are just nowhere near as nice, so if I was ever buying heels again it would be ones like these.

    I love my flat shoes :D I'm 5ft2 and try to only wear heels to special occasions, where I hopefully won't be standing for too long. On nights out it's either wedges or flats.

    I remember one night out I was kicked by some lunatic wearing high heels trying to riverdance, I bled and had a big nasty bruise for ages :(

    Any time I see ads for something that fixes feet damaged from wearing heels I think of the South Park episode with Chipotlaway.

    My sister was at a party a while back and the host's cousin picked up a stiletto belonging to some other idiot and threw it right at her face. He was aiming for someone else but still managed to split her upper lip open with the heel of it. She has a nice half inch scar now on her philtrum as a reminder. She was still lucky though it didn't hit her in the eye. I would have actually ripped him apart with my bare hands if I had got my hands on him that night. :mad:

    They're not called after daggers for nothing.
