Cali Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Hi, I know that there are several similar threads, but some are for women only and are style specific while others restrict platforms. So in this thread I'm looking for. Style: (Stiletto pump, block pump, wedge, bootie, ...) Rise: Platform ht.: ___ Heel ht.: ___ Net rise: ___ Shoe size: ___ (A 3" rise in a size 6 is very different from a 3" rise in a size 11) Maybe a picture. My tallest shoes, the ones I can clean the top of the refrigerator in, are my SpeedLimit98 Platform Peep-Toe Lace Up cut-outs, one of the first heels I purchased and wore out the store: 2" platform, 7" inch heel yields a 5" inch rise, US size 10 Victoria's Secret Suede Ruched ankle-strapped stilettos: 0.5" platform, 5.25" inch heel yields a 4.75" inch rise, US size 10.

CAT Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I like several stiletto pumps thigh high boots 5 and 6 inch single sole 6 and 7" with 1-2" platforms. My go to all time favs are Steve Madden Dejavu's in black and beige in the pics. I also just found a pair in leopard!! My Pleaser Devious Daggers are 6-1/4 single sole with ankle strap that I was in Chicago out and about for 7 hours. My usual time out in heels is 5-7 hours with no problem 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlroseplant Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I kind of addressed this question in my personal thread, "The High Heeled Ruminations of Melrose Plant," but did not give the details presented here. The question is, "How high a heel can you wear?" The answer is, not very, compared to some. The steepest rise I can really deal with all day long, without thinking about it, is 4 1/4". I tried a pair two days ago foolishly that had a 4 3/4" rise, and it was not good. They didn't hurt that much, but I did not walk well in them after 2 or 3 hours, due to muscular fatigue. My favorite style of shoe is open toed mules--well over half of my 50-60 pairs are of this style. However, the question didn't ask this, so I'm going to put down my Nine West Plantera platform loafer style pumps, which largely sat on the shelf for over a year while I worked my way up to them. Today, I can wear them easily wherever I like, for as long as I like. I have two pair, in fact, one black and one tan. So here are the stats: Style: High cut platform pump (loafer style) Platform ht.: 1 1/4" Heel ht.: 5 1/2" Net rise: 4 1/4" Shoe size: US women 8.5-9, Euro 39-40 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 I thought I would place this story from today's shopping here. I went heel shopping today, normal once a month activity to see what new in the local stores, tried one on in one store but didn't fit. Then went next door to another store. I asked to look at the their highest heels. At first they looked at me funny, then they saw I had high heels on, their next question was, what size. The SA went around showing me their highest pairs. None high enough for my needs. As I was exiting the small store the SA and I chatted a while (empty store and it was getting ready to rain). She loves high heels and liked how high mine where. She was complaining that women are wimps and give up to easily with the higher heels. They can't sell heels as high as I want, not enough of a market. I never had a woman call other women wimps over heels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thighbootguy Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I can wear a 5" heel but as I've gotten older a 4" is a lot more comfortable. I recently got a pair of crotch high boots that were sold as having a 5" heel but I have had trouble comfortably walking in them so the other day I measured the heel and found out it was 5 3/4" and that 3/4" makes a lot of difference. I can walk in them but I have to keep reminding myself to straighten my knee. These boots aren't for out and about wear so looking awkward at home is tolerable. 1 I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

HappyinHeels Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 All,Style: (Stiletto pump, block pump, wedge, bootie, ...) Rise: 5 inches Issa Bakers pumps Platform ht.: _2 inches__ Heel ht.: 8.5 inches___various Pleaser platform sandals Net rise: _5 inches__ Shoe size: _10-11__ ( AS to length of wear I have worn a few pumps for up to 6 hours, some boots with stiletto heels up to 8 hours and some of my wedges all day from 8AM to bedtime at 11PM. The ISSA pumps pictures were last worn publicly paired with linen pants and a pastel blouse to a restaurant with some some friends in Chicago. A few oohs and aahs from admirers of the height! The height makes up for the common colour. HappyinHeels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of my thoughts as well - that I wear heels (ok, at home...) whereas my wife says she cant anymore - I certainly don't want to be more femme than her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 These days, I never go higher than four inches, and even then, it's the stable Payless "Sinclair" platform wedge sandals or "O'Malley" platform wedge slides. Like Thighbootguy, I'm getting up in years at 58, and given all the walking and standing I do on my outings, comfort is vital because of all the time spent on my feet. Other than those sandals, I never go over three inches, and I'm perfectly fine with that, in some ways, I prefer lower heel heights. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pebblesf Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I can wear 4" stiletto boots all day, US women's size 11. I can wear most 5" heels as well, just not for such great distances. Really want to find a great pair of 6" boots so I can master them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming there is no platform, there is a BIG (as in HUGE) difference between a 5" heel and a 6" heel. If your ankle is that flexible, good for you, but if it isn't, you can do some damage to yourself. Step carefully.

Please advice me. Is all these photos relevant?? Should I give more text?? If not, I will remove asap. I included some "who is this" because I feel these are members of hhplace.

nzfreestyler Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Hi Cat, thanks! they're not that great on my scale because I prefer shoes I wear for longer periods. These are more shoes for a short event and not much on my feet! I have the same shoe an inch lower and thats a really fantastic shoe for me to wear!
