Sojourner Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 OK, I almost never wear heels because it's hard to find a pair that fits right and I have to walk a lot during the day and am generally not willing to sacrifice foot comfort for the sake of fashion. Today, however, I'm wearing an outfit that screamed "you must wear heels" and I coincidentally purchased a new pair of 4-inch heels Friday afternoon, so I decided I had to do it. I have learned I've forgotten how to walk in heels because it's been so long since I've worn them, or at least a pair as high as this. I'm not unsteady, but I just feel sort of clunky and not very graceful. I'm sure it will work itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Heels! They make my feet hurt, bleed, and everything else but I love them! Fashion over comfort anyday! I do think you're brave. I rarely wear 4 inch heels to work. I leave those for going out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'll pay for it later today, though ... And azaelia, you're probably right that stride length is my problem. I'll have to work on that.

I did opt out of riding my bike today, though. Although I have ridden in heels before, I decided today wasn't the day for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franciscanheart Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 heels in general, but most especially that high, stink for me because short strides are like two inches for me since im so short. im alreay practically jogging most of the time to keep up with people and then to be in heels too i have worn heels over like 2 inches in i dont know how long. usually only if its something nice do i wear real heels. on a daily basis? clogs thank you. birks are a must have. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only in my office, where I know its clean. Good choice on not riding the bike in 4 inch heels. I'm impressed that you've ever worn a bike in heels! You're crazy!

The other pair is totally flat, and I bought it because I broke my toe and couldn't wear anything with any kind of heel for several weeks. Usually I wear clogs or tennis shoes, or i have a couple pairs of very practical dress shoes I can wear with businessy outfits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
