Heels or No Heels (That is the ?)

[Leggy Ashley]

Hi girls,
I am 5'9 and slender as some of you have pointed out by looking at my pictures. I was wondering are heels ok for someone who is already this tall? I really love high heels as well as platforms, but i am afraid they will make me too tall! Any thoughts on the situation?

Kisses,
Delighla

Honey I am 6' in stockings. I always wear heels.. For outings 3" or less for home up to 5" (more than 5" I start bumping into doorways). Your attitude has more to do with passing than height. If you like the heels go for it.

Are you kidding ? No self respecting CD would be caught dead without several pairs (or more) in her closet (or other).

[Leggy Ashley]

how tall of heel could i possibly get away with in public???

[Miriannah]

Well, I'm 5'8" and I don't plan on limiting myself in any way in that respect. Once I can mail order and not have someone other than me recieve the package, I plan on going all the way to 8 1/2." Obviously for casual public outings, 8 1/2" is out of the question, so I'd recommend anything from 3"=5", depending on how much attention you want and how good you are at walking in them. :)

[Leggy Ashley]

i do fine in heels i was just wondering if 5 inches might be too much for public

[Marla S]

Make a walk through a mall, see if you can find 10 GGs about your size.
If 2 of them wear 5 inch heels than you might not stand out.
Just a rule of thumb.

[Lauren Mitchell]

It really boils down to taste more than anything else. The rule of thumb, which can be broken of course, is that no more than a 3" heel for a tall girl. I like 2 1/2 to 3" myself since I already stand 6' 4" in my stockings.

Flats are great if you plan of doing a lot of walking, over 3" are great for around the house, or parties.

But don't forget, like GG's we too can suffer problems with leg muscles and in the toes from wearing heels that are too tall for too long.

But like I said in the begining, it really boils down to a matter of taste more than anything else.

[Josi]

If you want to be looked at .. by all means wear 5"

If you want the world to pass you by and just meld with the surroundings - then dress appropriately for the surroundings.

5" in a club is fine (if VERY painful)

5" in the street is saying HEY .. LOOK AT ME ... A GEEZER IN A DRESS!! ROLL UP ROLL UP" !!!

No offence, but come on lets have some reality!! A GG in 5" heels would get a lot of attention.

You and I in 5"" will get so looked at!

Up to you .. what do you want ... attention or not?

[Leggy Ashley]

thanks i never thought of that

[JoAnnDallas]

It it is out for a formal or gala evening, then 5" is not out of the question. If out shopping and such, then 2"-3". I'm 5'9" and if i wore 5" heels while out shopping, I would get noticed, where as my 2-3" heels, no one notices.

[Lauren Mitchell]

Josi:

Well said:happy:

[carol ann]

At 5'11" I would not attempt any more than 2,1/2 inches. Even 2 inches is enough to say "hey, look I am a girl!" its the posture thats important

[Julie Avery]

My taste doesn't run toward the longer heels, I'm happy as can be in the 2 inch flavor. That said, seems t'me a CD without heels is like a day without sunshine :)

[Leggy Ashley]

i know 4-5 may be a little to much but they make me feel so much more femme. i dont know maybe not the best of ideas though.

[Sam-antha]

My lady delighla,
For the feel of it and only the feel of it, anything goes, if you can manage them.
For the street 3" is plenty. Its like the bust D is usually plenty J is more but then well....I suppose it is what you can manage on whatever the occassion is.

[Leggy Ashley]

i know and would never go 5 in every day but you know for that club or that special occasion maybe

[Sam-antha]

Not just maybe for me. Spiky stiletto.

[Leggy Ashley]

really dont care for shoes with no heel though hheels feel so femme
plus i think they make my legs shape better

[Leggy Ashley]

open toes heels to show off my pedi. yeah

[InHerShoes]

I'm 6'2 and my favorite heels are five inches! Would I wear them to the mall? I don't think so but around the house and in the bedroom you can't beat a good pair of HIGH heels.

[Leggy Ashley]

i agree nothin beats em

Delighla,

Heels are OK for anyone that wants to wear them and feels comfortable doing so.

[rexy]

yes girl i am 6'2" and just love to wear high heels at least a pair that is 3", i even wear them out . Went to the mall the other day dressed in a pair that is at least 3". My girlfriends said i look pretty good in them, one other thing i too think i look good and do not really care what other people think of me when i am dressed and looking good! Hope this helps....REXY:thumbsup:

[TGMarla]

It's just my opinion, but.....

Sister, dressing up just ain't the same without the high heels.


:yt:

[Leggy Ashley]

i agree marla cant beat heels. mucho mucho femme

[VeronicaMoonlit]

how tall of heel could i possibly get away with in public???

The highest heel I've ever seen on a shoe intended for a "fashionista GG" is 120 mm (4 3/4 inch) Christian Louboutin stiletto. I think the highest Manolo goes is 4 inches which seems to be the highest the others goo too, (Jimmy Choo, Stuart Weitzman, Charles David etc) Several GG's in alt.fashion have reported wearing 4 inch heels

But....can you handle them. :-)

[Leggy Ashley]

i can i love high heels. i can really handle it. The higher the better. 0.02

[Jodi]

I am 5'9". I have no problems wearing heels when out. Heels will bring attention whether on a gg or a cd when out and about. I have learned that when I go shopping, I wear my 3" or 3-1/2" heels, but I wear them with a dressy pair of pants or with jeans. For some reason, this does not draw the attention that wearing heels with a skirt or dress would do. I reserve the skirt or dress with heels for going out to dinner, to a concert, the theater, or to a club. I have gg friends who are my height who wear 3-1/2" heels and think nothing of it. So, I've learned not to worry about my height.

Jodi

[Leggy Ashley]

i hear you girl

go get em

That's not exactly what I was asking. :-) A 4 inch heel says something, it makes a statement whether it's worn with jeans or a tailored suit, it's a fashionista shoe. It gets attention. And if you're going to make that kind of statement, don't do it in some cheap vinyl shoe from the "stripper/ho shoe store", do it right. :-)

Do you have the fabulosity, the fashionista attitude, the "sheer chutzpah to wear such impractical shoes" for shoes like these?

I am 5'10" and I am comfortable in 3"-4" heels. Tall GGs like Nicole Kidman wear their height and their heels proudly.

[Leggy Ashley]

If Nicole can do it as tall as she is, there is hope for me. I love nicole. i just hope i could one day look like her.

[Lawren]

For me, the question isn't High heels or no high heels? the question is How high should my heels be? I am 5' 10" and I prefer 3" heels for a dressy look and 2" heeled sandals for a more casual look.

[Leggy Ashley]

ever go higher than 3"?

[Lawren]

No, I have never had heels over 3". I don't think I could walk in them if I did.

[Leggy Ashley]

oh they're awesome you should at least try em

I am only 5'6" barefoot and since I love high heels, I wear 5" for business attire and higher for evening.

Don't worry about it Hon---I'm 5'11" and love to wear heels---have a pair of platforms with 6" among other shoes--I don't wear them to the local shopping mall or for every day use but for fetish night at the local bar(or entertaining at home) they make Me feel and look like the dominant Goddess I am--lol

[Leggy Ashley]

i know i gotta love my heels

[sky0629]

I'm 6'.0" and i won't go past 4 " i think 5" is to high

[Leggy Ashley]

thanks sky

[jillinla]

Honey -

While 5" may make too much of a statement, you do need the heels.

[Leggy Ashley]

i agree HEELS YEAH

[Adrienne Heels]

I love heels...4" is okay for me

[Leggy Ashley]

looks like 5 is the general answer thats cool i still love em sky high

[Diannna]

I'm 6' also. I try to stay under 3" heels. Although I do have a few up to 4". I think 6'3" is really pushing it for a girl. BUT! I wouldn't mind having a 6' g/f.

[Ann lee]

i usualy go with a 2-3 out in public, and I can walk aorund all day, i usualy walk on my tippy toes anyways always have, but i just seen a pair of 7's i want to try so bad, but i think it goes back to what you feel comfortable in, and can wlak in?
