But I recently began my love affair with heels, and even though I am still wearing mostly flats on my everyday, I must say they slowly, but consistently, begin to feel a bit odd. My favorite shoesat the moment are a pair of black suede boots with a thin 4" heel.</p> <p>I might swap almost all my flats for 2.5-3" pumps. I can wear 3" pumps or wedges without discomfort; can't say the same about chunky/cone heels or flatforms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1/page/2#post-948883 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:30:21 +0000 Anonymous 948883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No heels for me. I still have a pair of three inch wedge sandals but they are probably going to be purged. I love how they look but barely ever get worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1/page/2#post-948834 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 11:19:37 +0000 unfrumped 948834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't manage a thin heel of any height, even kitten. Dress up can be 2" if wedge or blocky. Flat for work. I really have to.commit to designing my outfits around around the shoes I'll realistically wear, whether my legs look shorter or what. If something seems " made to be worn with a bit of heel" I have to decide whether to thumb my nose and create my own look or skip.that item and stick with another formula.<br /> I am watching photos and outfit creations now with a focus toward who's rocking flats and low heels and how.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1/page/2#post-948775 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 06:09:58 +0000 CocoLion 948775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no problem with the Rag &amp; Bone Newburys which have about a 3.5" heel. &nbsp;I think because they have a substantial heel as well as a supportive design. &nbsp;If the shoe has a thin sole and stiletto or narrow heel, I have way more trouble. &nbsp;If the shoe is not wobbly I can generally tolerate heels quite well, much better than most people. &nbsp;Maybe all of that ballet training being "en pointe" was good for something!</p> <p>I love my mini wedge sandals for summer, they are all day shoes. &nbsp;(1.5" heel) &nbsp;And, my 3" wedge sandals were fine for a long outdoor wedding this past Saturday, save for the fact that they felt quite tight. &nbsp;A half size bigger might have worked better, but I didn't feel like waiting 2 weeks for Amazon to send me an exchange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1/page/2#post-948771 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 05:44:30 +0000 Deborah 948771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, still wearing heels but favouring wedge heels and "blocked" heels and must be comfy. I am too petite to give up heels;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1/page/2#post-948704 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 03:16:42 +0000 Sarah A 948704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just the flattest of flats for me. Completely flat or 1/4" heel is ideal, with 1/2" or 3/4" doable for everyday. It seems very difficult to find boots or booties with less than a 1" or 1.25" heel but I'd like to add some! I do like the look of some heels, but the tendons in my left ankle dont agree with it at all. I did pick up a 2" pair recently to have some "just in case" heels for dressy occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1/page/2#post-948583 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 01:20:05 +0000 Echo 948583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore heels, though my lifestyle isn't conducive to me wearing them often. I generally find anything up to about 3-1/2" comfortable, though of course it depends on the style. Anything higher I've mostly retired now, and platforms have fallen out of favour for me. My DH is much, MUCH taller than I am, so I am actually more comfortable wearing heels when we are together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1/page/2#post-948578 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 01:07:26 +0000 Jaime 948578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After years of only wearing flats I am now sometimes wearing high heels thanks to my Anyi Lu wedges - that is super high for me! Anything more than 2 inches is pretty much out of the question. One inch is great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1/page/2#post-948564 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 00:52:25 +0000 Anonymous 948564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2-3inch wedges max.

I think flats are cute, but I still feel unprofessional in them at work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1#post-948518 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 23:34:10 +0000 DonnaF 948518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fussy right foot is starting to complain when I bend it the slightest bit, so even 1.5" - 2" heels are starting to cause pain.&nbsp; C'mon!&nbsp; Two inches are hardly heels!!!&nbsp; Even Dansko sandals are a problem height.&nbsp; C'mon!!!&nbsp; DANSKO!!!!!&nbsp; So to assuage this pain, I bought (another) pair of blue booties, this time flat ones.&nbsp; Gotta decide if I can justify a second pair, but the other ones are faux suede with heels that for some reason are fairly comfortable.&nbsp; With super short squat legs, I look so much better in heels.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1#post-948517 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 23:33:53 +0000 Caro in Oz 948517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've kept x 4 pairs for evening/formal but mostly I'm done.

I love my flat sandals especially gladiator sandals. Wedges are tolerable as long as they have some width on the bottom of the shoe. Wedges of 2 1/2 inches are about my limit. I love my ballet flats since they go with everything and are so comfortable. Isaac Mizrahi makes the best ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1#post-948437 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 21:32:25 +0000 Thistle 948437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wear them. I can't wear them becaus eof my back and the pressure on my foot that I shattered years ago.</p> <p>I am trying to train my eyes to dislike the look of heels. Logically, I understand the damage high heels do to women's feet, knees, back and hips. I mean, it seems ridiculous to do this to ourselves (ahem, as men don't wear them). </p> <p>Hasn't worked yet . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1#post-948282 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 18:19:35 +0000 Suz 948282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team low heels and comfortable heels here.

MUST be less than 2 inches for every day - and I adore my flats. </p> <p>I haven't worn my sitting shoes - which means 3 inches - for 14 months. I wear low heels to events too. I am DONE with high heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-heels-1#post-948118 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 14:35:42 +0000 Liz A. 948118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm in the minority.&nbsp; I also recently purged all too high heels, but for me that's anything over 3.5".&nbsp; Heels are only worn for work (I keep them under my desk) and for nights out, though.&nbsp; So in general I am in flats ~80% of the time. </p>
