I have a couple pair of High Heels but most are not more then an inch or so and most of those are flat. When you are as big and old as I am anything too high could be hazardous to your health.

I have a couple pairs of black flats that I wear to casual get togethers. I also wear them with jeans, instead of sneakers, for grocery shopping and running errands.

OMG! I am sooo happy to find that web site for Payless Shoes. The local store has a pretty slim selection in larger sizes. I just came home from there with the only two pairs I would consider wearing.
And at 5'11", I would not consider wearing heels although I do love the way they look.
Lovies,

No don't like them I love my 3 to 4 1/4 in. heels I do have one of 2 in.slides
Yeah, they usually have a vastly better selection of larger and even wide sizes on their website.Originally Posted by SSMITH

Flats, you bet. I have a large number of heels, most in the 1-1/2" to 2" range, but also several pair of flats. My favorite are a bright red pair and a navy pair. I'm 5'10", too tall to wear heels of much height. In flats, my height already makes me in the 95% of the tallest women in the nation. So I never get 3" or higher heels, even though I think they are really beautiful. Besides height, I'm also older. Got to watch my step a little!
Take care!

Do flat sandals count?I have a few pair, I prefer heels, but sometimes a pair of flats just go better with a jean skirt....

I have a few pair of flip-flops that I like to wear, and I just bought a pair of pointy toe flats. The pointy flats look really cool with a mid-calf lenght summer skirt.

I'm one of the lucky women that is on the short side, only 5'5". I have something over 50 pairs of heels and no flats anymore. It's heels for me every day.

At 5'10" I rarely wear heels when I'm out, those extra few inches make passing a lot more difficult. Payless has a great $10 pair of black skimmer flats, and I recently bought a pair of ballerina flats there that are perfect for summer skirts and capris.
I wear flats more often than heels, thanks to a bad back. I also think that flats go great with the more casual skirts that I have as well as capris.
those are some great pics Dana J and Reana do any of you girls have any more to post??
The most beautiful thing in life, cannot be seen or touched, but is felt by the heart!
Mostly I wear high heels - but sometimes I wear flats too, I prefer the ballerina-style, have them in different colours, and I think they looks great and they are comfortable.
I usually wear flats or flatish round the place. Easier doing the dusting and ironing etc. Sometime, if I am feeling devilish,:evil: I might do things in heals. But flats are also much better for driving in. I wouldn't try to drive in the heals I have.:nono: I value my, and others, health much to much

I like to wear flats as well while wearing slacks. Any other of my shoes go up to 2 inch pumps.
Yes... especially in summer. Lot easier to wear when sunbathing... hate burning my tootsies on the hot ground.

At present flats are very much the in thing so I have been very naughty and been buying lots of them, But on the plus side they are so comfortable and the lastest styles are very fem.
I wear ballet slippers most all the time when out. Heels, only for pictures and outings to clubs (and I usually end up in slippers before the night is over). My favorite public femme dress mode is slightly femme tops, women's jeans, and ballet slippers. Always try and match the colors of the slippers to the tops.
Wear do you get those lovely ballet pumps from?

With my height, flats seems to be a certain no no!
Kidding!!! To be honest, I just don't feel the part in flats. If it doesn't have a heel it doesn't feel right. I did try it once and found myself walking in an exaggerated fashion. With 3" heels on the other hand, the walk is natural and effortless! So I seriously doubt that I'd ever wear flats out of choice.

Yes, the walk is the key! We gurls need a little heel to wiggle more naturally. We can't walk naturally like ladies do. I should say classy ladies, since some girls today walk like Wild West cowboys. In any case, the higher the heel, the easier to shorten your step and wiggle in a feminine way, but assuming that most of us are tall already (I'm 5-10) plus wearing high heels for long hours is tiresome, a 2" heel should be a nice balance between comfort and elegance.
I personally can't walk right wearing flats. I tend to lenghten my step and before you know it you look like the quintessential "guy in a skirt".
The previous post by Sky is correct. "The walk is the thing." I can't walk in heels. I have a pair of heels I wear around the house occasionally for practice, I'm incredibly clumsy in heels. Until I get the walk right it's flats for this girl.
It takes a real man to wear a dress.
I dearly love heels, but I am 6' 2" so flats fit my size better. But I do love my heels!!!
Excluding clogs which are really unisex, I have only one pair of women's shoes and they are essentially flat (~ 1/2" heel). This is OK as I have an arthritic ankle that doesn't allow me to wear over about an 1 1/2" heel anyway.
However, the irony is this: the pair of flats that I have used to belong to my ex-wife. She forgot them when she moved out, along with 2 wigs and a handbag. If she only knew...
I am 6' 1" and do not what to look any taller!
I like wearing flats that are a little more sexy and feminine than flip flops. I wear either the silver or gold thongs in the picture.
