Driving in high heels: easy or scary?

[cosmolovesph]

no problem for me up to 3", but i do have a pair of 6" platforms, that was tough, but almost more difficult was the getting my big feet with the big heels in and near the peddles, but after getting in, was OK but jerky in applying gas/brake for a little while

I only have one pair of 1,5' heels and driven once with them on, but it felt suprisingly easy (using stick gears). The hardest part was that I drove about 400 km (250 miles) in heavy snow blizzard.

I can't believe you guys did away with the 4th pedal! Where's the world going...

Anytime you want I'll be happy to give you lessons in how to drive an "automatic". They've been around since the 1950s. Oh well, some folks just don't like those new-fangled inventions.

I can give lessons on how to drive a manual transmission without using the clutch.

Speaking of stick shifts... I have a Ford Ranger, and find that driving in my 5" pumps to be easier than my work boots, simply because they have a narrower sole, which gives a lot more space between the brake and clutch. I do drive my F-350 with plats etc., because it is an automatic. Seat is electric, so I can position it so it is comfortable for whatever angle my legs are at. Great for long high heeled trips

I drive a Ford Escort wagon with a manual transmision. I've had no difficulty wearing 3 or 4-inch heels while driving. I do agree about scuffing the heels while driving. In my Expedition, the only difficulty is with the running boards climbing in.

The thing I WON'T do is wear high-heeled boots riding my motorcycle. There's way too much danger of ankle injuries supporting a 700 lb. two- wheeler with one's feet not firmly on the pavement.

I love wearing my 5" heels to drive around in. I think it makes it more fun and I always wear them the whole time that I drive. The best part is when you pull up somewhere and then take that first step out of the car and your heels are already on and you can just get out and go.

I drive a stick shift in heels, so no big deal at all.

I dont know ive never tryed it. plus i dont think i could get a way with it on my motorcycle.lol...............charlie......:D

Driving for me is almost like a mini step before actually going out in public... People in large cars/trucks can see in yet you can always speed out of their sight if you feel uncomfortable. I have driven in the red platforms before, it was well different...

[teresa jeen]

i like wearing 3" heels with my shortest skirt and either a garter or thigh highs, love to flash the truckers!!little do they know!!

[Charleen]

4" heels, clutch, no problem!

To Group:

On a return home, Imma got fully dressed in motel room and left in car wearing laced five inch high heeled knee boots for six hour drive home.:D

It was years ago. Imma had CB on and got lots of responses from truckers and other drivers, but just did not response to any!

Imma used wet rawhide laces on boots. For those that do not know, rawhide laces will shrink upon drying. As result, boots got tighter!

This resulting in my feet being kept in a high arch for six hours!

Drove to miniwarehouse and changed back into drab clothes!

Maybe I can talk my wife in letting me go all day in boots this Halloween!

LOL:rolleyes:

I have never found it to be a problem and 2 of my 3 cars are manual shift, like everything else it is just a matter of being careful and practice

[Angie G]

I've had no problem driving in heels or walking in them

I have driven with 3.5" high heels on. Not too bad.

[KarenSusan]

I've never had any problem driving in heels. I wouldn't, however, try it with anything higher than 4"

[Cheyenne Skye]

To those of you who take your shoes off to drive, You need to be especially careful that your socks or stocking feet don't slide off the pedals. That could be just as dangerous as wearing the heels.

[MsPriscilla]

I was surpised how easy it is wearing boots with 4" heels. I expected to lose some control. But I loved it. And over here in 'primitive' Europe, manual gears are the norm.

[MsEva]

On my perfect storm week mentioned in earlier posts, I went out a couple of the nights for a drive. One night wearing a pair of black boots with 3 inch heels, and the other night wearing a pair of brown boots with a 3.5 inch heel. I drove my wife's car, it is sexier than my stationwagon and has cute tinted windows! I love the strange feel of the heels working the clutch and gas. I sort of got used to it after a while, but thrilling to the max.

[Rosaliy Lynne]

drive in 3.5" heels. Those are the highest I own and I ojnly bought them because I loved the style of them. However, If I was going to be drive say for several hours, I would have a pair of flats to wear to east the strain on my feet and ankles.

Be careful no matter what you wear or don't wear while driving. Any accident can be bad.

[Reba Kay]

I have drivin my 400 HP, 4 Speed Corvette in 4" heels without a problem, other than attracting too much attention to myself. And in an evening gown, no less. What was I thinking! RebaKay

[camera_laura]

Please do not drive in high heels. You are putting yourself and others at risk.

Is that why women are such bad drivers :rolleyes:

Now before anyone starts flaming/bashing () me my comment is intended for the purpose of humor only! It is NOT my personal opinion that women are bad drivers. I've seen more men shaving or changing their shirts while driving than I have seen women applying makeup (etc.)

Let's all have a good laugh!

[Billie Jean]

I never gave it much thought, its just as easy with heels as without. Billie Jean

[Marcie Sexton]

When I'm in my five speed I still kick off the heels and drive barefooted, but in the car just my right foot sheds its shoe...
