Since i am not small and my feet are neither, a 5" heel still looks classy on me. So yes, i would wear it if the interviewer was a man. If it was a woman i would think twice.

For me in this instance a pair of 4" heel pumps would be just perfect if its a guy interviewing, but for a women interviewer, I'd rather go 3"

Heels definitely adds class to any outfit which is for looks then, but looking good adds confidence and hence we wear them for both reasons then

Dancing in Heels is fun, and i can dance in heels i can hardly walk in because they are in excess of 6". It is a different kind of movement. But my preferred height for dancing is 5".

Definitely agree and I love dancing in heels although I wear 4-5" heels and 4" is usually my comfortable height.

Will have to agree with that statement, I also love wearing heels to work.

I agree with Heike, I wear 3-4” heels to the office every day, never platforms and mostly black...lol! For me they are comfortable all day and  my fav brands are nine west and guess which seem to work well with my feet.

Some people can walk in 5"+ heels and make it seem as though they weren't wearing heels, while others struggle just to walk gracefully in 3" heels. Most of this has to do with the specific construction of our feet and ankles. With time and experience/familiarization in wearing the higher heels some of the physical limits or impairments can be exceeded, but you may still have to settle on wearing lower heels than desired for public appearances. I've always admired the people that can wear exceptionally high heels when they radiate the air of confidence along with an unencumbered stride. Of course, heels that tall are definitely for show and at their best during leisure strolls, rather than in hurried strides to reach a destination promptly (not that one can't walk somewhat hurriedly in them should the need arise). Even heels around 4" are a bit too high for hurried pacing, but since this height is the more commonly seen in the workplace and for the casual activities, they kind of set the standard graceful gait that people have grown to expect from those wearing high heels. 

I totally agree with Histiletto, and there are definitely some genetics at play. I have been comfortable wearing heels forever and the first time I stood up in a pair of 4" heels I could walk in them comfortably, and for me wearing 5" heels for a day is also not a problem. That being said 4" heels are definitely the more practical and comfortable choice for me. I think a lot of that ability has to do with the suppleness of your ankle and if you can bend your foot down so the line down from your shin is straight to your toe area, you should be able to wear 5" heels, if not you will be more comfy in 4" and lower. There are not a lot of people who can wear 5" + heels comfortably as one needs to be able to bend your foot even further down so your ankle start looking like a lump, and very few girls can do that. Generally women are more supple in their joints than men, so I think there will even be fewer men able to do that. But no matter what heel height you are comfortable in, enjoy it and don't worry about it if you are not comfy in those 5" heels, most women who wears heels every day are are also only comfy in 4" heels too…..

Being on a sand dune in heels are definitely the worst in heels...

wow, brainless self harmer is definitely a new one, but it does say a lot about the person making such a comment too…… 

For me 5" heels (no platform) is a sexy and still practical heel height......

Hi Louise,

It was noticeable that people tend to treat you very differently, when you are dressed well and that also will differ from place to place. At work some of the "not so well dressed ladies" would like to joke about dressing for s.x or makes jokes trying to portray a well dressed lady in heels as a b..ch etc. I think it might come from some people having inferiority issues maybe and they can't understand why someone loves dressing up if they don't have to.

when I travel or go to meetings its a very different treatment, as a well dressed lady are usually treated with more respect like opening doors for you, offering to help with the luggage etc...

I totally agree with highheelchic, 4-4,5" for daily wear and up to 5" for going out..

Any girl who gets a compliment from a guy should be ok with it, as long as he has not been following her around, thats when it gets creepy….

Hi Sangue, I have also regularly experienced the same bias, and more so in smaller towns. Luckily people in the cities will be less concerned about what others are wearing, but I have also experienced some bias at work where people  would not believe that someone can actually enjoy wearing heels every day. I love dressing classy, yet conservative.

Hi there everyone, thanks for adding me. Just a girl who fell in love with high heels a long time ago, and still love wearing them many years later…..
