Curt Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 I injured myself twice. I was drunk and stumbled down a flight of stairs. My pumps get scuffed at the toe. So depressed. I twisted my knee out of joint. I hit some uneven sidewalk wearing platform high heels. But I'm okay. Anyone done worse than that?
hoverfly Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Nope Hello, my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee! 👠1998 to 2022!
Alexis Hill Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Not worse but similar carrying a garbage bag down some narrow steps cause me to misstep and hurt my ankle.
Shafted Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I slipped and fell on my ass on a rain slicked sidewalk in Rome with friends. I was laughing hysterically. Not the least bit injured. Shafted, the boots that is!

krazyhusband Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Nothin yet. Knock on wood. I have done some slips but no falls.
onyourtoes Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Contrary to the common warning, I've never twisted an ankle wearing narrow heels, only flats. The wobbliness apparently puts my body on alert and guards against unguarded moments. I did get hurt once wearing a pair of new platform wedge clogs. The soles were new, flat, and slippery and I skied down a short flight of carpeted stairs. I cracked a bone in my foot from the twisted landing. I broke an arm in a fall, I was wearing sneakers and watching a nice pair of heels across the street instead of watching for the curb...
leyland1 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 ...watching a nice pair of heels across the street instead of watching for the curb... You made me chuckle! =D
SF Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Caution: Don't wear heels when drunk!!! With booze you lose, with dope their's hope..... ha ha... "Why should girls have all the fun!!"
Guest Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Back in the 70's clogs were cool (2"+ish heel) misjudged the traffic and half ran the last ten steps, clog rotated, I tripped (stayed upright) and broke one of my metatarsals. Continued, collected my papers and hobbled back. Got 100 yards and the pain kicked in and I virtually passed out. The trip the night before was wow man. The second was Ow man! Broke it again 11 years ago. Slipped off a curb two days ago in flats. Had a heel slides but got away with it, phew. Al
roniheels Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Nothin yet. Knock on wood. I have done some slips but no falls. Same here. Not yet, thank goodness.
AZShoeNut Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I had chicken pox when I was 20. I was still living at home and I only wore my heels when alone. At that time I had a super tall (5+ inches) pair of double ankle strap black suade Jante pumps. I didnt care that I was as sick as a dog, mom left the home so I wearing my pumps. I got dizzy and twisted my ankle so bad that I had a hard time walking for several days. Life is short... Wear the bleeping shoes!
