Latest buy over the holidays

Those are pretty for the office

I wear stilettos all the time including to job interviews.  That being said I’m a female engineer so I already stand out at the interviews just for being a girl.  They may not take me as serious up front, but I know my stuff and they normally are blow away by the end.

Make sure they are a quality pair and not the cheap stuff.  There is a difference.  Make sure feet are clean and dry.  Stay in a cool environment to minimize sweat.  Make sure tour toenails are trimmed.  I wear them this long regularly.  Key is through cleaning and drying before and after.

Could you wear this shoe? I myself couldn't. I just got a pair of ballets not that long ago and can not stand in them let alone walk in them "not yet anyways" and they have a thin heel which one can put a little weight on. Don't get me wrong, I love this shoe and would love to own it just because, but I do not think I could ever walk in them. Could you? This shoe has a 7.5" heel and comes in sizes 5-14.

My feet are more used to shoes with pointed toe like ballet.  But I could probably get used to them.  It really depends on how much the toe is pulled back.  

1) How often do you wear high heels? At least 16 hours a day.  Sometimes to bed.

2) What type of heel do you prefer?

Ballet boots.  My tendons are used to them now.

3) How high is your average daily heel height?

6-10 inch

4) Do you find high heels uncomfortable?

Yes, but all things we do to look good are uncomfortable.  It’s not comfortable waxing my legs either lol.  But, guys will definitely take notice of a girl who can walk perfectly in heals.

5) Do you find high heels difficult to walk in?

When I was younger I certainly did.  Now I’m used to it.  Gravel is annoying.  Grass isn’t to bad since I’ll walk on my toes more.

6) Did you know high heels can be bad for your legs, feet and back?

My posture is perfect so I really don’t think they are negatively affecting my back.  Yes I’m sure my feet are slightly problematic, but it’s no worse then someone who smokes, over eats, drinks etc.  those 3 things can kill you.  Having sore feet won’t kill me.  

7) Do you have any ill effects from wearing high heels?

I can’t go barefoot any more.  But my husband likes that so I’m not sure if it is an ill effect.  My biggest complaint is men doesn’t always take me seriously at work because of them.  I’m an Engineer and men already think female engineers don’t know anything.  But, I’m not going to change the way I dress to get there approval.  The managers take me seriously.

8) If yes, what areas cause you problems? 

See above

9) Do you find it difficult or uncomfortable to wear low-heels, flats or go barefoot?

I can not do any of that.

10) How old were you when you started wearing high heels regularly?

16, but much lower back then

11) Do you get comments (positive or negative) on your high heels?

From the men, a lot, mostly inappropriate for work.  From the woman mostly just catty stuff.  I’m the only female engineer at my company so the other woman are also in power positions.

12) How often do you get comments?

Daily

13) How many years have you been wearing high heels regularly?

I’m 22 now.  6 years total but 3 year of 16 or more hours per day.

14) Do you ever consider giving up wearing high heels?

That ship has sailed since I can’t walk without heels now.

15) What is/are the reason you wear high heels?

My husband loves them.  I feel sexy in them.  I like the power it gives me to command guys attention.

16) Would you consider giving up high heels if they became too painful?

Nope.  

17) Do you ever slip your heels off under your desk or when sitting to relieve pressure?

Nope. 

18) Have you ever fallen due to wearing high heels?

When I started wearing them more, yes.  Also the few times I have been drunk. Another time when the heal broke. (Cheaper pair)  Not any more though.

19) If you have fallen due to wearing high heels, how often has it happened?

probably 5 times total.

20) Do you plan on giving up high heels regularly as you get past 60 years old? 

No

My husband generally puts ballet boots on me 2 or 3 times a week for bed to keep my feet ready for heals and my tendons the right length.  I am unable to walk without heels now so if I’m barefoot for bed I normally have a pair near by.
