I love high heels. Last month My un-approving SO sneaked into my outdoor storage shed and removed most of my heels from a beat up and broken plastic storage tote and placed them in a brand new one. But now she denies ever doing that. She had to handle 10 pair to transfer them over. Go figure. Now she wants me to get rid of about half of my dresses. I don't want to--but--I enjoy shopping for more. Size 10 and a few size 8.
They modify the way you walk and they are feminine symbol and all that, but I really like they way they feel. If I wear them all day, I feel like walking on my tiptoes after taking them off.

Well, men were also. They wore hats (but not indoors). Real hats, not baseball caps worn backwards.Originally Posted by Thera Home

They make my legs look sexy. Lifts the bum just right.
And I got to ask, is the profile picture really you?
Honestly, I wear flats, or men shoes in my normal 9-5 (which is 730-5) so when I dress I only wear heels. To be truthful, my feet feel better in heels. I have a natural high arch and have no problem wearing higher heights. My wife is jealous I have so much ease walking in heels, but it just feels natural. Plus, I grew up around them, my mother wore them, my sister, so I just took a liking to them when I first tried them, learned from 3 inch heels as 13 years old, now 40, you give me any height, I can wear them and walk more woman like than most woman. It is just natural to me.
I'll go along with the varied reasons cited by others: Lift the butt, longer leg look, enforced posture, finishing touch of femininity, the sound. However, I'll stick with the mid-height heels and a slightly thicker heel (even a wedge). None of those five-inch spikes for me. I don't know how GGs walk and even dance in them. For me, they would be a difficult to explain sprained ankle.
When we change to our "other" gender, we need to downplay as many of our male characteristics as possible, and I believe this is not only for external consumption (passing) but for the internal feeling of the constant feedback that we have changed gender. We become masters at illusion, external and internal.
I spent last week in a hotel room. Outside the room I was in male professional mode. Inside that hotel room I was Tina. Every time I walked into the room the first thing I did to address the (initially) symbolic change was to slip out of my male shoes and into 5.5 in heels. Why? Really high heels change the way the body moves (well, unless you want to end up in the hospital in traction!). The feedback is TINA in big bold letters.
So, not only do heels represent a large feminine "signal", but they force the body to send out feminine signals of movement (again, both internally and externally).
Lastly, as a side benefit I have found that they force my back to allign in a way that no other shoe can, and since Tina has arrived I've not had a single episode of back pain!!! I used to be laid up for a week at a time with my back "going out" every couple of years. Thus, I have a couple pairs of heels that I wear every morning just to keep my back in shape!
For me, heels are here to stay!
I also love high heels, walking in them is so much fun, my wife always tells me I walk in heels way better then she does!
I agree with everything you said Susan,I love wearing and walking in my high heels, I have over a dozen pairs,all I wear except for a couple pairs of flipflops....
Real girls often DON'T complain much about their high heels. Some foot pain and discomfort comes with the territory. But for instance, several of the ladies my wife works with belong to a shoe club where they pay something like 40 bucks a month, and get a new pair of shoes every month. And they wear the heels, baby! One of my own clients is literally addicted to high heels. She can't get enough of them.
How many pairs of shoes did Imelda Marcos own? Something like 400?
I own around 10 pairs myself. (I know.....small-timer.) And I love them, too! It's no mystery to me why women love them so much. Sometimes I can't wait to put them on. There's nothing else like them.
Any money found in the laundry is MINE!

There is nothing like the why heels modify your walk, stance and attitude.
My doc said I needed some lift at the heel to help my feet so I took it to an extreme.
When styling, I start with the Heels and work the remaining part of the outfit around the shoe. Without a sexy shoe, we have nothing. And for all the other reasons listed above. I just love to be in them and my wife loves to watch me strut in them. As I prepare to go out for the first time, I cannot wait to strole in some 6" plats around on the concrete. SEXY!
I am an Artist working in all Mediums including Sexy
For me, it's the ultimate expression of feminity, to be able to strut in 5 to 6 inch spiked heels feeling my tush swish from side to side, to hear my hosiery make that sound Mother always made when she wore hose and heels. Not to mention they are sexy and it really thrills the women when they see me so adept in heels.
There are a couple, but the big one is ShoeDazzle.com
I like heels, but sizing and comfort matter to me. I loathe stripper shoes that just look cheap and trashy.

for me heels are my favorite article to wear....when I was 10..I bought a pair of pink 4 inch pumps at payless and was amazed at how "right" they felt on me....
I do agree that heels are completely feminine, but to me nothing is more feminine than a bra. After all, they are the one article of women's clothes that have no counterpart among men's clothes.
(What about tee-shirts, you argue? Their counterpart is the camisole, a covering undergarment, not an item providing support.)
This made me laugh, Kaz. Go to the casinos near my home on any Friday or Saturday night and you will see dozens of gals in their 20s wearing LBDs and heels. Some of them walk just fine, some can even do the sexy strut, but there are always those who look like they're novices ready to topple over at any second.
If only our families and friends could be as supportive as our bras!
I have an inner ear thing, one side effect is that it makes me hard of hearing. The ohter, it plays with my equalibrium a bit. arround a 3 in heel often compensates for that
I adore them. That's all I can say.
Part obessive fetish, part adoration.
One of my favorite crossdresser quotes(someone posted on a forum) that while they had one or two men shoes, they had 50 pairs of high heels. That's sums me up(I have only one pair so far)

Heels are often seen as being indisputably feminine and many men feel they bring about a great sense of beauty and femininity in a woman. Many CD's and T-girls often like to wear heels to emulate this
[QUOTE=Karli;2938274I mean real girls always seem to complain about high heels. Is it sort of a secret pleasure to enjoy something most real girls complain about wearing?[/QUOTE]
Girls love heels as much as crossdressers do. However, the difference is since they are actual women, they probably wear heels more commonly than us. I love wearing heels as well, but if you spend an entire night at a party or dance club, all you will be able to think about is how much you want to take the shoes off
They complain but they still wear them--a lot

I absolutely love high heels. They are my favorite piece of women's wear. I particularly like stiletto heeled sandals. I have several pairs with 7 inch heels which are extremely difficult to walk properly in although I have worn them out on occassion. Mostly, I stick with 5 to 6 inch stilettos. I have also worn platforms with 6 to 9 inch heels. I don't own any pumps as I don't prefer that style. I like to polish my toenails and I prefer bare legs.
Heels change our posture causing us to thrust our chests and rears out due to them forcing our pelvis to pivot forward. Look at yourself in the mirror the next time you have them on. The higher the heel, the more noticeable it is. The heels also change your gait to a more feminine one. And, as another member posted earlier, heels are great for toning your leg muscles especially your calf muscles. So, who needs to do leg exercises? Wearing heels is much more fun.
Karli....I know that I wear and love my high heels because its Maria's favorite piece of clothing. She can find that dress, but then the heels that match...hmmmm takes quite a while to try on the 4 to 5 pairs to get that right look for the mood that she is in. Walking in heels takes some practice, and I have read thru the years that many woman complain, and yet we cannot understand why. I know that it can be a scary thing to do, but try to find a pair of jeans that are flared and long, and put on a pair of heels and just walk around the block - it it a totally different experience than just walking around the house on wood floors or carpet. Concrete is so unforgiving and hard, its actually amazing how quickly your calf muscles can start to hurt.
I have been wearing heels for years, including stiletto boots, so for me, all I can say is that practice makes us perfect...my wife is still amazed after all these years, because she is an "office girl" wearer of heels, which again, is totally different than walking outside for everyday movement
Karli, Secret pleasure is an understatement. Just remember any high heel under 4 inches are considered "FLATS". Luv Roberta

I can tell a lot of girls love their heels!
So let me ask, what's your favorite style?
And what styles do you use for which occasions?
My personal favorites are my black patent pumps by Ivanka Trump! I get excited anytime I wear them! I was inspired by a girl at work. I couldn't stop staring at her heels and knew I had to get a pair just like them!
If I even suspect the slightest hint of a conspiracy to separate me and my pretty shoes, I'll go George W. Bush on the offending party. Just sayin'...
