Why women wear high heels despite the pain which they can produce? Is it hard to get used to wear them? How high they can be before feeling uncomfortable? I would like to be convinced before getting a pair... I'm not sure yet (I prefere women to answer this, please). Thanks

i wear high heels when i want an extra "boost" of the sexy factor, kind of like wearing a thong. also, high heels lengthen your legs and slim your body down, also you look taller! who doesn't want to be taller! as for how high they can be before feeling uncomfortable, that's a factor that depends on you. if i were you, i would go shoe shopping and just try on different heights of heels, AND also different widths of heels. maybe you're just not used to the really skinny stiletto types, and more comfortable around the shorter wider types that provide more stability. also, it may sound dorky, but practice walking around the house in your heels, especially in front of a mirror. do it to a song if you want, and dance a little dance! lol, also, heels can match your outfit and make it look more sophisticated or flirty, which ever you want. just give them a try, i'm sure you'll find one that YOU like! hope my advice helped.

Why do women wear high heels despite the pain?
Beauty is pain and a lot of women are willing to pay the price. Heels add height and more specifically, they lengthen the legs.
Is it hard to get used to wear them?
According to a lot of women, not really. Try using gel insoles on your high heels. They'll help.
How high can they be before feeling uncomfortable?
I believe it has nothing to do with the length of the heel, it's about the fit of the shoe.
Get your starter heels at Banana Republic. They're reportedly very comfortable!

they make your btt stick out just enough to and make your legs toned and sexy looking. You can learn to walk in them in a few practice runs the more you wear them the better it will get. as for how high well that depends on several things how far you are gonna be walking if your gonna do alot of standing and your physical conditions. when you wear heels most of your wieght is on the balls of your toes so if your fluffy you might wanna go with a lower heel or a chunky heel even wedge or as we used to call them elevator shoes or pumps. if your legs are strong you could go a little higher but if walking or standing I wouldn't go for a spike heel. If you are shaky ankled start with a kitten heel then graduate to pumps and on to heels experiment a little and youll find the right size for you but be sure to try them on before leaving the store and walk around for a minute. also when you first start wearing them take a toe break like if your sittting down to dinner slipp your heel off and wiggle your toes for a minute.

High heels will extend the leg. Wearing them on an everyday basis, however, can cause back pain, and do damage to your feet. I don't recommend wearing high heels if you are on your feet all day at work. Wearing them for a night out is of course okay.

Heels make my feet look so very delicate and legs look so long and slim. In stiletto mules, my legs seem to go on forever! Heels improve my posture, make me look taller, give my little tushie a lift and give me a VERY INCREDIBLY sexy walk. With each and every tiny step my hips sway seductively. Heels make any outfit look more polished and sophisticated. I feel utterly feminine in my heels - and I truly love all the wonderful attention I receive from men when wearing heels. Men who do not know me always open doors for me and defer to me when I am wearing my heels. I wear heels almost exclusively - I feel sloppy when I am out in public without my heels. If you haven't worn heels before, they will seem uncomfortable until you get used to them. I suggest starting with 2 -2.5 inch pumps - buy high quality that fit well. Avoid strappy sandals or mules at least until you've mastered your pumps. Remember heels aren't athletic shoes - you need to walk slowly and delicately -take small steps. Heels aren't for rushing around in - rather they are for feeling fashionable and for showing off your legs and figure!! Good luck!

Women wear them to heighten themselves and it transforms their legs to make them much sleeker and longer. They arent painful unless you go over 3 inches, it just depends on how often you wear them. Only the cheap ones are uncomfortable because you get what you pay for. The designer ones are made of soft leather and you can run a marathon in them. For first time wearers I reccomend either wedges (more surface to stand/balance on), heels without a stilletto heel (to avoid tripping, braking your heel, killing yourself), or any other type of high heel thats 2 inches and under.

if you are not use to wearing high heels, you will be in pain when you finally do wear them. women wear them because women chose vanity and pain over comfort. not only are high heels bad for your feet, over time, it can throw off your posture and can be bad for you back. i've probably only worn heels a dozen times in my 29 years of being alive just for special occasions and i don't really like wearing them. there are women who wear them every single day of the week and have absolutely no problems. i think if you have a small to average foot and are petite, you probably will not feel as much discomfort as opposed to a hefty women with big or wide feet.
but they do make a women look taller and help legs look more slender.
bottom line, the choice is yours: vanity or comfort?

They change the way you look, the way you walk, and the way you hold your body. There is nothing else that produces the effect that high heels do. You'll look more glamorous and elegant. Start with a wedge heel, about 3 or 4 inches, to be comfortable and to get used to the high heels.

It depends how old you are? I love high heels but cant wear them like my mom which wear a size 10 heel. They make you look sexy... I think they are like wearing a sexy bra... why would you wear a sexy bra if nobody is going to see it? To make you feel sexy... Give it a try... Start with wedges,no heels then proceed to wearing heels in your home so you feel more comfortable.

The only good reason to wear high heels is to bed with your man.
Heels are painful and dangerous. They cause more foot problems than any other reason. No heels over 2 inches except, like I said, for your guy.
