				<description>&#060;p&#062;Oh yes, they are fine!!&#038;nbsp; And I say that as someone of the same height, similar weight&#038;nbsp; and age.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I love that platform wedges allow me to wear high heels and add more height than other shoe options.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;That said, those particular ones would be too high for me solely because I can't handle much in the way of a heel, but if I could I would! &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;So go for it!&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;If you can handle them go for it! I wore them the first time around in 70’s and loved them............ until.......Carried groceries up stairs and mis judged rise- fell and broke ribs. After a run to ER I swore off platforms of any kind. But I am sure you have more grace and charm than I do. So enjoy,
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;i don't think these shoes have an age limit...if you are comfortable in them, and can walk comfortably in them, then go for it.&#060;br /&#062;for what it's worth, i'm 54 and wear this boot yesterday

				<description>&#060;p&#062;They are definitely appropriate! My mother in law, who is around the same height as you but quite older, very often wears&#038;nbsp;platform wedges in summer. She looks fab with them.&#038;nbsp;:)

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I am about your same age and size. I think those shoes are totally appropriate! The heels of those particular pairs are too high for my personal preference but I own a couple pairs of wedge heeled sandals and I would not think twice about seeing the ones you posted worn by a peer (actually I would think twice, in the sense that I would probably compliment her on her shoes!).

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Many thanks for your insight.&#038;nbsp; Apologies if this question has been discussed a million times.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I am 45, almost 46 yrs old.&#038;nbsp; I am 5'4&#034;, 120 lb, petite hourglass.&#038;nbsp; I frustrate myself in womens, petites, and juniors departments. I look for clothes that fit, elongate, and are age appropriate.&#038;nbsp; Alterations aren't always feasible, as fit is more than a sleeve length or hemline.&#038;nbsp; I live in Atlanta, where temps can be appropriate for some sort of sandal 6 months of the year.&#038;nbsp; &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I own wedge #1.&#038;nbsp;&#038;nbsp; I am about to return it because I honestly do not know if this type of shoe is appropriate for my age.&#038;nbsp; I don't want to look childish or like I am trying to compete with the college students by whom I am surrounded.&#038;nbsp; Do other 45/46 y.o. women wear these?&#038;nbsp; Or women my size?&#038;nbsp;Ever?&#038;nbsp; Is it too much?&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Thanks and love!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;&#060;/p&#062;
