What's the highest heel you'll wear?

Question

My highest heels are just under 5". I don't think I would wear anything over 6". Of course, I'm little at just 5'1 so I need some extra height :-)

Answer 1

I don't know how you women do it. I can barely walk and chew gum. I'd probably fall and kil myself.

Answer 2

The highest heel I wear is between 4'' and 4 1/2'' inches because I just want a little more height but not too much because I'm 5'8.

Answer 3

For me, there is no heel that is too tall of too slender. However, the height of a heel you can walk in is related to your foot size. I have petite feet, I wear a size 4.5 in a flat, size 5 or 5.5 in a stiletto. The max i can go in a stiletto is a 5-1/4 inch heel. At 5-1/4 inches I am very unstable and require a mans arm to steady myself so I don't fall! My steps in my 5 1/4 inchers are very tiny, almost mincing, I have to walk extremely slowly, concentrating on each and every step. I own some heels that are higher that I simply cannot walk in - not all heels are for walking! Some are strictly boudoir attire reserved for my most romantic and intimate moments!

Answer 4

In normal day wear, a 3" to 4" heel. For a special outing, I have higher heels, the highest being just over 5".

I once borrowed a pair of boots with a 16cm heel (6.3") for a hen party. I looked great in them, but they were murder to wear. I keep thinking that I ought to get another pair and practice wearing them, but a decent pair costs so much.

One last point, your height is not the limiting factor - it is your shoe size. Since high heels arch the sole of your foot, you need to have a longer foot to sustain the arching effect without falling on your nose with every step!

Answer 5

3 inches, with a wide heel. Anything higher or narrower (spikes, eg) and I look like an ostrich. And kitten heels should be illegal! I tried to wear a pair of kitten-heeled sandals last summer and my calves cramped up! I saw women all over wearing them and I thought, "Oh, that's cute!" I wore a pair of regular ole pumps for high school graduation in '94 and stood out like a sore thumb from the way I was walking. My mom had videotaped the procession, and I was so embarrased! I give up!

Answer 6

5" but i'm tall and like even taller guys.

If you are short, high heels make a difference, but believe me, the effect is the same if you wear 4" or 6"

Answer 7

I won't wear anything above a 4" because I hate the way platforms look. Most of the heels above 4" have a platform, and the ones that don't just look like they would kill my feet. I'm 5'4", so I do love the added height, but I won't sacrifice comfort for it.

Answer 8

Theres so many goregous shoes out there and most of them have big heels and people that are already tall (like me)..well i dont knw about them but i feel a bit self conscious when i wear heels because i feel like i look too tall...anyway i the most i would prob wear is no more then 4 inches..

Answer 9

I would say that the average would be between 3" and 4" any higher are not really made to be walking around in.

Answer 10

where can i buy ones that are 6" or higher?? please say by adding details.
The highest i wear is 4". I can't seem to find anything with a higher heel....

Answer 11

dood~i can't wear heals for crap. i don't know how some of you girls can wear heals. my feet hurt, they're so uncomfortable no matter what you think, and you can't run in them. i wear sneakers all the time, even for my prom i wore sneakers under my dress. i guess the highest heel for me is 3" and im 5'7"
