Only when I am depressed and have a death wish... that aside, I just walk very quickly but never run.

nice

4 inches is my standard and I am comfortable wearing this height 24/7 if need be. Ready for some 5 inch heels though.

Interesting observations. Gotta love commercialism.

To each their own. Live and let live. God I hope the idea doesn't catch on with Policemen and Firemen or Construction Workers, Garbagemen, etc...

Just wanted to say that your wife sure is lucky to have you to support her shoe habit. Sorry I couldn't help.

Well you are speaking of my generation, and many of my peers look at me like I am crazy wearing heels. When I ask I just tell them I prefer them due to my dance training. I guess I am not ready to come out of the closet with my shoes yet. I don’t know about you or your wife but I like the attention I get from boys and men alike when I am wearing heels. Your oh so helpful salespersons are just jealous that no one is paying attention to them or their feet.

I love high heels and will always wear them when possible. I have been wearing heels for years starting with dance and tap classes. We had to stretch and loosen up before every class or performance. I currently wear 4 inch heels comfortably (I want to move to 5 inch heels) just as comfortably as if I were wearing an aerobic trainer. Have you considered stretching exercises to loosen up your calves and achilles tendon? I would just die if I had to do aerobics in 4 inch heels.

I have been lurking here for awhile and have browsed many topics and haven't found anything when I comes sizing shoes. I have been wearing heels for 3 years now, and have mastered the 4 inch heel. I am ready to move up to 5 inch heels but will have to order online since this god forsaken podunk town is lucky to even have a Payless let alone a real shoe store. I have read that I should not pay attention to the size on the box and choose the shoe by how it fits. That is great advice but I also have read that the higher the heel the shorter the sole the smaller the shoe should be so get a shoe 1/2 to 1 size smaller. On the other hand I have read to order a size larger to have room for the toes. To make matters worse, I normally wear a size US 7 but also have heels of the same height size 6 to 8. I am ready to buy but with the money I am going to spend I am a little hesitant to order. HELP ME before I go INSANE!!!
