High Surprise Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 I have a very low two seater sports car and live in my stilettoes. IT can be done. Easily! As previously mentioned, the only issue for me is that the mats in my car get damaged from the heels but that's about it. Happy driving everyone.
stilettos Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 Are you telling me that I could not drive something like a Corvette, or Lotus, or any other low slung sportster, with such high heels? Well no, I'm not saying that it can't be done, just that it would not be so easy. I don't know much about the Corvette, some Lotus models have a driving position more suited to high heels than others. Specifically I'm talking about the Lotus Elise which isn't yet available in Canada. As well as the seating position being very low the steering wheel is also very low. Even wearing flat shoes my knees can come into contact with the steering column quite often. I've only sat in the car wearing heels a few times but found that my knees and the steering wheel/column all wanted to occupy the same space. I'm not saying that you, Laurie, couldn't drive such a car in high heels, I'm sure it's possible somebody could. It's just that some cars are not as high heel friendly as others.
Keli Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 In the past I have owned a couple of Corvettes, ( a 1981 and 1986), and had no problems driving in my 5" heels. I never gave it any thought. Any day that you don't learn something new is a day wasted.
High Surprise Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 I guess anything is possible (in heels) if you put your mind to it...
stilettos Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 I guess anything is possible (in heels) if you put your mind to it... Couldn't agree more. Possible Yes, easier No.
High Surprise Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 I think the picture proves it's possible and says it all doesn't it? Thanks to Candi of course...
Keli Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 That's sitting, not driving. Looks good to me tho'. Any day that you don't learn something new is a day wasted.
Bubba136 Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Wow! Great legs and Great shoes. But with legs that long, that gal will have to drive the car while sitting in the back seat! :rofl: Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
High Surprise Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Please note... heels colour coded with the car. Cool huh?
Tahira Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Hi gals and guys, Here are some pics of me driving in high heels
nicjasno Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 What kind of car is that you are driving? www.nicjasno.com
Bubba136 Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 Appears to be a smaller car, too. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Yamyam Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 "Nice shoes", remarked Yamyam, dragging the thread back round to the point (sorry, in a silly mood ) Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
Tahira Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 Nice pictures so whats the longest youve driven in high heels? HHDS I've been driving about 200 miles with 1/2 an hour break to rest my feet.
Tahira Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 What kind of car is that you are driving? That was a Chevrolet Mini Van.
Tahira Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 It looks like it's an automatic car Yes it's an automatic mini van. Isnt that sweet.
Laurieheels Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 Three hours. Four inch heeled ankle boots. No stops. I've driven for longer periods, but I have never driven longer while wearing heels.
dimpantyhose Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 The first time I drive with heels, iiicccchhhhhhh! It was really a challenge. I put my "Le chateau 4 inches high heels" (totally brand new) and I start driving on the high way. The heels hurts me during this time....Really paintful. I wasn't really able to push on the break (really strange feeling). I try again with a 3 inches high heels and I drive Montreal-Quebec really easily I really like this experience
azraelle Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 I used to drive an 18-wheeler for up to 10 hours straight (including 3-4 hours in Los Angelos bumper-to-bumper traffic at 15-20 miles per hour) in 4-1/4 inch mules with a 1 inch platform (e.g. 5-1/4" total), but then it was the only way to keep my gas pedal knee from aching unbearably, so that may not count.

dimpantyhose Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 Driving an automatic car with high heels is possible. But, for me, driving a manual car with high heels, I will be not able to drive at all.
Yamyam Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 Nice one, Ruud! I've parked up and walked around in heels before, but not ballet boots! Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
High Surprise Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Well done Ruud! I've had a little experience with driving in HH's I managed to buy my Ballet boots from TLSB, london and then decided to head back up north up the M1,M6 whilst driving a Golf manual in a pair of Red knee length Ballet boots!!! FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC..... I stopped at the services to have a natural break, So parked in a parking space where at the time, when I get out of the car knowbody can see my boots So managed to have a 2.5 hour drive then a 5 minute walk around a car park, all in a pair of Ballet Boots!!! If you've got them, Flaunt them!!
hhpumps Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 yes, yes, yes, please post more mpegs of your stilettos i'm sure everyboduy would be very greatful. also, i can attest that it is very difficult to drive an 18 wheeler with 5" black patent courts on the double clutching is very tiring and you don't have a very good feel on the foot feed. but it is exciting patent leather and classic high heel pumps area.
CandiCaine Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 They are a little more difficult to manage due in part to the less than pencil thin spike heel. I walk in my 7" leather pumps much easier. But just like any extreme heel, you have to get a feel for it.
High Surprise Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 I've never really thought hard about it but I really like my heels to be thin. They somehow look prettier. What is the thinnest you can get?
jo Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 The thinnest heel ever made was a designer shoe with a heel as thin as the insert of a ballpoint pen. It never went on sale as it was so thin as to be lethal if you stepped on someone with it. I have never seen a picture of these shoes, even though they have been written about many times in the last few years.
High Surprise Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 I have discussed this in the past but thought I would bring it up again: Does anyone else find that regular use of thin heels in the car ends up putting holes in the mat on the floor?
