Tall women and heels
Permalink Closed

I am 5'7 and I loooooove high heels but I avoid wearing anything taller then 2 inches maybe 3 because I'll feel like a giant! But then I see women who are tall and wearing heels like nothing and I try to encourage myself to do so and I just can't.

What do ya'll think? Should I forget about feeling like a giant or should I stick to smaller heels?

By the way I just bought some amazing heels but I haven't worn them yet for this reason!!

Don't be ashamed - own it, girl!  I envy you tall girls the sense of presence you have thanks to that height, so IMO there's nothing wrong with enhancing your natural gifts!

In all seriousness though, 5'7 is not that tall.  5'9-ish in heels is just not that tall.  Is there someone around you who is making you feel weird for being tall?  Making comments or something?

I'm 5'7 and I wear 4-5 inch heels every day. I love being tall.

If I were tall, I'd rock heels every day, as long as my feet could take it.

You and me both!  I can thrown on 4-inchers and not even scrape 5'7.  My neighbor is 5'10 and you NEVER, EVER see her in anything less than 4-inches.  I love it!

I'm 5'11" and I love wearing heels too! I love being tall.

The only problem I find is getting pants with a long enough inseam to wear an extra 2-3" heel.

I tower over my 5'9" boss and I love it, it gives me a tiny power trip haha

I'm 5'9 and live in 3-4 inch heels. I love being tall! But there was a time when I was younger when being tall made me feel self-conscious. I have grown into my height - ha!

Now, when I wear flats I feel schtumpy and short!

I'm 5'9" and you will almost always see me in heels. I do occasionally wear flats, and I feel crazy short when I do.

Another voice in the chorus - being self-conscious about your height (or lack thereof) is one of those things that goes away as we get older and more confident.

If you want to wear heels, wear heels - and enjoy the "tiny power trip" (TM Metric)!

You ladies are awesome!

Elle- no comments really. I just feel like everyone else I know is shorter so I feel a little wierd.

But after reading these comments from everyone I feel a lot better now!!

Me, too. I'm 5'7" and honestly, I feel short a lot, even though I'm really not at all. I normally wear 4-5 inch heels.
