High Heels

FashionPrincess · Hermes

4", although some make my feet tired after walking for long periods. And I can do a little higher with a platform. I'm trying to do more lower heels now that I'm preggo though.

erin · Chanel

about 3"...but i generally prefer around 2.5"

bloomie · Marc Jacobs

3.5 inches

I just feel like I am wearing towers if I wear anything higher and I feel like I am going to fall foward. I need to start practicing walking in 4 inches because there are some really nice ones out there.

Kitty · Hermes

I can wear 4" heels..but I am already fairly tall, so with 4" heels I'm almost 6' tall. Most of my heels are 3".

needsfashionadvice · Kate Spade

Are we talking all day, walking around comfort? No heels have ever given me that kind of comfort, I need flats for that. For just walking a little in the office, most of my heels are 3" but I really would prefer if everything I owned were no more than 2". I just can't find enough cute ones with a low heel.

Ditto to all of this---I love tall heels but they make me feel like a giant.

Kelly · Hermes

I prefer a 3 ot 3.5 inch heel, but I can do 4 or 4.5...I don't need the height, though, so I rarely do that!

Ditto.

I wear flats if I am walking alot. If I am working all day at my store then I am on my feet and usually wear 2.5" or lower heels. For a night of going out I usually do a 3" heel. I RARELY ever wear anything higher than 3" heel.

Flats for me! I haven't bought any heels that I can remember being comfortable enough to walk around in for something like a little shopping. Probably because I haven't bought many heels because I'm afraid they will be uncomfortable and I might walk funny in them.

squishy · Coach

0.5 inches :) my feet weep at the sight of heels.

Hedvig · Coach

I prefer not to wear anything higher than 2.5 inches. I think I'm actually almost afraid of uncomfortable shoes and I never wear shoes I can't comfortably walk in, so there's really no point in buying them.

Ha Ha. My brittle ankle snaps at the sight of high heels. JK, that sounds gross. But I always do the wobble test. Rarely anything over 3 inches passes, and those are wedges. A three inch non-wedge has to have a stacked heel and that's only for wearing around the office or some place with a parking lot.

I'm so thrilled flats, kitten heels and wedges are so popular now. A few years ago, shoe shopping was so depressing.

Sandy · Kate Spade

4" is about as high as I can/want to go comfortably... 4.5" if the shoes have a wedge or platform. Day to day, I usually wear flats, though.

ditto! i can't seem to balance in heels, and they come off my feet if they don't have a strap of some sort. i have 1 pair that are probably 2.5-3in that i can just about manage for an evening... if i'm not on my feet too much!

bex · Chanel

i can do 4" all day long walking/sitting/standing. the girl who does my pedicures yells at me constantly and tells me i need to wear flats more b/c she can see the damage that the heels are making to my feet.

*sigh* but i have short, stubby little legs and tall shoes are the only thing that make me feel better about them!

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

I'd like to say 3" comfortably, but maybe to 3.5", depends on the arch of the shoe really.

zeitgeist4 · Gucci

I wear 3" to 3.5" on a regular basis, and I have a number of 4" heels too. I don't wear anything above 4"

kmd · Kate Spade

3 to 3.5 is good for me. Though, I can pull off 4... if I'm careful. hehe.

Lilykind · Hermes

Lately I've been a member of the 0.5 club myself because I always feel overdressed in my usual style in Atlanta.

When I was in practice, I could be comfortable in 3.5" heels all day and 4.5" if something had a sturdy platform/wedge (I have a couple of 5"...heh heh...). I need all the help I can get. When I wear 4.5", I'm still a bit shorter than BF.
