I don't think that super-high heels will be going away at all any time soon, but the more *variety* of heel heights that we have out there - and the opportunity to purchase mid, low, or flat-heeled shoes that are fun and stylish - the better. I'm all for moving away from the concept that you can't be stylish without wearing 4+" heels, and my feet are happier for it, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down/page/2#post-416177 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 16:50:25 +0000 Scarlet 416177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such sweet music to my ears. I like to walk a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down/page/2#post-416174 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 16:48:43 +0000 rosee 416174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This news makes me happy! 3" heels are my absolute maximum height, but I prefer 2" for dressier shoes -- they have been nearly impossible to get though. There have been slim pickings for several seasons as shoes were either too high or flat (I like flats though). </p> <p>Angie, how long until you think the runway trends trickle down to mass market? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down/page/2#post-416157 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 16:28:57 +0000 Jonesy 416157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I truly hope so! I have been seeing some heel height variety at the high end of the price range, so that does bode well, maybe. Just check out these Alexander Wang boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down/page/2#post-416134 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 14:52:19 +0000 rae 416134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just after I realized that a higher heel is more comfy for me! </p> <p>Hm, feeling a bit more pressure to snap up some high wedges before it's too late... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down/page/2#post-416116 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 13:49:26 +0000 Janet 416116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoy all heel heights (I think my max pair are 5" but that's with a 1" platform, and they're sitting shoes!) so even though I'm on Team Heels, I welcome this news. Sometimes I wish it were easier to find mid heights, since it seems lately it's been all one extreme or the other. </p> <p>Of course, now that our closets are loaded with chunky heels and platforms, I expect the return of slim heels and delicate shapes. The designers have to do something to keep us buying more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down/page/2#post-416102 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 12:09:03 +0000 nancylee 416102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good news!

And, yay! Another Brit :-)</p> <p>I am pleased that heels are getting lower, they were getting ridiculously high, particularly for 'party' shoes - 5 inch heels, high platforms - I can't even walk in those!</p> <p>A heel height of 2 and half to 2 and three quarter inches is perfect for me - I already have wedge ankle boots of that height, and can walk all day in them, and I still get that little extra bit of height (I am 5ft 3 and half inches tall).</p> <p>The Chanel collection was beautiful - that shade of green, the scrunchy textures, the shapes .... heaven! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down/page/2#post-416085 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 09:09:37 +0000 innasmile 416085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm new here, feel like I'm muscling in on a conversation at a party!

I noted a couple collections in the spring which I was inspired by: DKNY (color blocking), Jason Wu (silhouette), Jill Stuart (quirky patterns/colors), Kate Spade (colors), Marc Jacobs (contrasts/silhouettes), Prabal Gurung (layering), Rag and Bone (layering/colors). Thinking I need to peruse more of the collections now that fall is around the corner. I'm at 1/3 flat boots 2/3 heeled, probably not the best ratio Hoping to add at least one more flat boot for this season!</p> <p>(Lisa! Foot surgery!? My goodness! I hope it goes well!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-416024 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 01:56:26 +0000 ruthe 416024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-416013 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 01:38:01 +0000 goldenpig 416013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great news! We need more pretty low heel options. I'm all about comfortable feet. But then again, I just bought my first pair of 3.5 inch heels, so I suppose I'm not one to talk... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-416006 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 01:28:47 +0000 Debora 416006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great news! I love the look of super high heels, but they don't love me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-416003 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 01:24:31 +0000 Suz 416003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!!! I love everything about this. The low heels, the kitten heels, the textures (WOW!!!), the short jackets, and even those slouchy things, whatever they are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-415988 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 01:00:26 +0000 Deborah 415988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I am generally drawn to lower heeled shoes anyway. And I must confess after having my son, the need for comfortable shoes became incredibly important and remains so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-415985 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 00:58:38 +0000 CJ 415985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thank God. Aside from when breaking in shoes, I baby my feet like you wouldn't believe, so heels above a 2" or ones that don't span the nearly whole width of my foot are a huge negative for me. Besides, I feel very strange and awkward when I'm suddenly a normal height </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-415977 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 00:49:16 +0000 Lisa 415977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am having foot surgery in a few weeks, so lower heels is music to my ears! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-415952 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 23:53:36 +0000 Mainelady 415952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given that I am 5'2" on a good hair day, I usually like to wear a heel, but over the years, the heels have become lower. I still like to hear the click-clack of my heels in the hall, but I am happy to learn that the lower heels are moving to the front lines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-415948 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 23:41:26 +0000 Debbie 415948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is great news! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-415944 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 23:36:06 +0000 Midwest Girl 415944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THANK GOODNESS!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-415939 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 23:17:37 +0000 Kafe 415939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I think she means that podiatrists and orthopedists will not have as many patients once the lower heel trend hits. Business will be slow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-415936 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 23:11:32 +0000 sarah 415936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a huge relief.

Knitters- take note! That would also be a great DIY project from a thifted sweater sleeve- use the body as a skirt and the sleeves for legwarmers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-415926 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 22:47:33 +0000 annagybe 415926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want some baggy black trousers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-415922 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 22:42:10 +0000 Sveta 415922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, so many ideas how to wear my new SM combat boots from NAS! These are socks worn with them, right? I could not figure it out in the beginning if they are part of the boots or part of the pants...<br /> Quite new pant shapes too Are they straight or a different kind? Definitely ther are more of those than of skinnies.<br /> And yes Rita, I see some inspirations for my cropped Hinge jacket too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-really-think-that-heels-are-coming-down#post-415916 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 22:36:49 +0000 Anonymous 415916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is wonderful news!
