Dangers of High Heels

[CD Tammy]

My new platform Mary Jane pumps arrived in the mail. I couldn't wait to try them on. They fit so well, I love them. Then I realized something very important. When wearing these heels, I'm taller. I walked right into the ceiling fan. Doh!

[Chari]

OUCH!! Watch for low doorways too! On the plus side - now you can probably reach the top closet shelf without too much effort. Enjoy.

[MetalGurl]

Making me taller is exactly why I love them :) I'm short, naturally, so adding an extra 5-7 inches is love.

[SherriePall]

I usually put on a pair of my best heels when cleaning out the top closet shelf. Call them my height enhancers.

[natcrys]

Geez.. I hope that didn't hurt too much! Are you alright?

When they talk about killer heels.. I'm not sure they meant this.. :p

[Heather-Hill]

Wow, you must be very tall without them ! Slim and slender I bet.......lucky you

Nice shoes though, lucky girl

It is amazing how much a couple of inches make when trying to navigate around.
Boobs can also be a problem to new wearers.
Always getting in the way.

[RenneB]

Nice shoes. Heels carry a whole world of nuances... from walking on grass, decks, grates in the sidewalk, stairs,... etc... all while not looking down. But it's all worth it.

Thanks for sharing....

Cute shoes Tammy. I love Mary Janes and I really like them in patent leather.

[erickka]

I guess I should count my blessings! I can wear my 6+ " wedge heels and still be a trifle under 6' tall. saves me a lot of headaches LOL!

[Anna H]

I'm scared to go down my stairs in mine. I can go up with
no problems.

No ceiling fans, though! I'm safe with that! :P

[CD Tammy]

I'm already 6'1" and this is of those ceiling fans that is a bit low anyway because it is in a hallway. I think I was more surprised than hurt. It took me a minute to figure out what happened. On the plus side it will make dusting the ceiling fans easier.

[Erica Anne]

Height may be an issue but after wearing heels for nearly 14 years every day, I can manage almost anything. Now if you have leather soles and metal tipped heels, walking on asphalt is like walking on ice. I learned that the hard way one evening. Was all dressed up for Halloween and went to a party and found it next to impossible to cross the street without falling. It has been a long time since I had nice real leather shoes.

glad I got high ceilings, stuff happens, hope u r ok!!

[suchacutie]

We do our own house improvement work. Doing work on and around the ceilings was always annoying as the step stool was never the right height. So....you guessed it...a pair if 8" heels is just perfect!

Living in two genders wins again! !!

I just heard on the radio this morning that High heels are now the in thing for guys to wear, everything from stilettos to chunky heels.

[Aylineira]

Haha!! Well for me sometimes I still "tippy toe" for stuff on higher shelves even though I am wearing heels... yes.. I have my moments...

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Tammy, Oh yes I have that problem with the kitchen fan/light .

[JazT95]

Ugh, I know the feeling. Living in an older house with very low ceilings is a pain. I have to be careful not to bang my head in places when walking around barefoot. With a pair of heels on, it becomes some bizarre limbo exercise.

[Heather-Hill]

I seem to have shrunk with age, so for me I should maybe go up an inch or two with my heals :doh:

When they talk about killer heels.. I'm not sure they meant this.. :p
Now that's funny right there! I almost spit out my coffee.

Tammy, I know how you feel. My first pair of pumps was a pair of 6" heels, well that made me about six ten and I wound up walking into a lot of things, doorways was the first, then lights, the fan, hanging plants, etc.. I no longer wear heels (arthritis).

[Michelle Crossfire]

I would love to know where you heard that

I'm sure im not the only one, when I'm walking I make to big of steps and its like sasqauach walking around. Any suggestions on how to memorize to take baby steps without ever thinking about it?

[Heather-Hill]

Hi laceydolittle2013, buy a tight pencil skirt, you will not be able to open your stride :o

[suchacutie]

ABC news shorts has the blurb on men in heels.

[sanderlay]

I'm fortunate that my ceiling fan has no lights. But it's close. No raising of hands.

Add to the height issue is washing dishes. It's much harder on the back because I have to lean lower. So its flats for me.

[karyn2000]

I can't wear heels above 4.5". Your toes push too hard into the front at the higher heel height. I try to wear open toe heels above 3" to avoid crunched toe issues.

[Tina G]

New here so bear with me. I've always been interested in wearing heels and I do have a more slender build now that i've recently lost 40lbs, my issue is i'm 6'4 and also where to find a good place to purchase them. I wear a size 12 in them if i can get them. I live in Nebraska so places to find them are few and far between unless i go online.

[Andrea Chenowith]

Jenny - Unless you live in a VERY small town, you might have some luck with Payless Shoe Source. They usually have an okay selection in size 12.

[CD Tammy]

In my experience you should also think about the black side of town. It seems that black women have larger feet than white women.

[5150 Girl]

I got smacked in the face by a ceiling fan once, but then again, maybe I shouldn't have worn my heels up onto that bar I was dancing on.... Hmmmm....

[Meg East]

Being tall means doorways and the top of my head occasionally make contact.

[cdkateinboston]

I'm fortunate to not have ceiling fans where I live (listening to some of the girls here has me very thankful for that! I never dreamed of having to play ceiling fan slalom in heels lol) It's definitely a good thing as I'm 5'10" and my favorite heels are 5.5"!
