i have an interview coming up and i have this gorgeous outfit to wear but it needs high heels to make it complete. I stand 6 foot tall with an athletic build and with the heels ill be at least 6'3. Do you guys think it will be too intimidating?

If the interview calls for a suit/outfit and the outfit fits the interview, then wear the shoes. Be proud of your height and don't slouch. I used to be considered tall at 5' 8" (I'm 45) but I work in an office with no less than 4 20-somethings that are 5"10 or more and they love their heels.
Other advice you may appreciate: DON'T wear lots of make-up; jewelry; perfume. Nail polish should be neat, not chipped and not garish or goth. If you have any piercings, other than ears, and can take them out, do so for the interview. Once you're hired, put them in. (This includes tongues.) Make sure you have at least 3 resumes, regardless of their length; the names, work addresses and phone numbers of your references; your ID and Social Security card; a black and a blue ball point pen and a note nook or pad of paper, just in case. Clean your purse out so you can find the pens and ID. You'll look very organized and this will count for first impressions.
Relax and be yourself. Don't rush your answers; take your time and think about the questions. Try not to use slang or "ain't" or swear during the interview. If you really don't know something, don't try and fake it. Let them know you're willing to learn.
Good luck with the interview. I hate them myself but they're a necessary evil. You'll do fine!

At six feet tall you should wear a dressy flat or 1/2 to 1 inch heel, no more. You will be too intimidating and that won't help your chances for getting the job.

Quite possibly. Maybe try to go with a 1 inch heel or try a new outfit with flats. You know how guys can get!

I'm sure you will look great, but if you tower over a male interviewer do you think that is going to be in your best interest? Wear flats.

i would just wear a pointed toe flat. and if the pants are too long for flats, i would have them maybe hemmed some more? u dont necessarily have to have 3 inchers, just an inch maybe.

Maybe you could wear pumps, or maybe you could wear another kind of shoe. Or maybe you could change your outfit.
