One word: wow!

Well, it appears that at least she can stand upright in those heels. I certainly can't.

She also wears heels a lot in Up Close and Personal and even dangles her shoe in one scene.

Those look like corset heels from Pleaser.

Always remember that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

Marvelous photos indeed. I presume that young lady had no problems walking in those shoes.

I'm a big fan of dipping and dangling. To me, there's nothing like seeing a foot slipping out of a black 5" pump, or the same shoe dangling from the toes.

Well, I've made it to 3.5" boots. At least it's getting closer to my normal heel height of 5 inches.

I'd say 5 inches with no platform is the highest I've seen. That lady at the steak house the other evening had 4.5 to 5-inchers on.

I saw a lady wearing some great looking stilettos while dining out tonight. Then as we were leaving, I glanced over to where she was sitting, and lo and behold her left shoe was dangling from just her toes. Man, did I wish I had my camera and zoom lens!

I have several pairs of Pleasers including pleather and leather and am quite pleased for the most part. Most are 5-inchers and one pair has 5.75" heels. The 8220s in particular are very flexible. One word of caution: they tend to be on the tight side, so unless you like a tight fit, go up a half size or a full size from what you normally wear. In my case, I went with size 11, since that's what I normally wear, and have had to use a stretcher on the left shoe in each case. Beyond that, they're great-looking shoes and are easy to walk in once they're broken in.

I say four inches and up, with five inches being just right.

It loos as if your wife is used to wearing ultra high heels. More power to her! 5.75" is about as high as I can go.

Laurieheels referred to it as power posting.

Has anyone ever tried to walk on a bubble sheet while wearing heels?

My feelings are pretty much the same as what has already been mentioned. In addition, I find the sight of a heel popping out of a black stiletto pump, an arch winking out with each step, a shoe dangling from a sexy foot, and a foot slipping in and out of a stiletto pump most appealing.

Love those pics with the soccer ball. Great looking heels! And I must say the jeans 'n' heels photo looks great, too.

Now there's a sight to behold: a flight attendant slipping her foot out of her shoe.

Looks like the same picture of Danica Patrick as in one of the above posts.

I especially like the second photo.

Dress codes were relaxed considerably when I entered high school in the fall of 1971, so much so that girls were allowed to wear pants all year long, not just during the winter months. Classic stiletto pumps were virtually nowhere to be found, however. When I used to substitute teach, I would see classic pumps being worn quite often by high school coeds, although no one wore 5" heels. Four inches was the maximum heel height I saw.

Here, here. Glad you two were able to straighten things out.

About the only thing that could top either of those two shots would be a foot slipping out of one of those shoes.

Hello and welcome to the fold!

Let's see how many I can remember. Gail O'Grady wore stiletto heels a lot on American Dreams, a family drama set in the 60s. Jenna Elfman regularly wears stilettos on Courting Alex. Markie Post wore sexy black stilettos as a guest star on Cheers. Heels were a staple during rose ceremonies on The Bachelor, although I would have liked to have seen classic black pumps more often. High heels were very commonly seen on 1960s TV shows. A few examples: Connie Hines wore them a lot on Mister Ed. Rose Marie regularly wore stilettos on The Dick Van Dyke Show. So did Mary Tyler Moore, although she stuck to lower heel heights. TV moms Barbara Billingsley and Donna Reed were regularly seen cleaning house in heels. At the very end of one Donna Reed episode, Donna's foot slips out of her shoe as she squats down to hug a dog.
