Wife is taller than me in heels…

[hamsalt]

And I love it! Does anyone else have a wife or partner who is taller than them in heels? I’m about 5’8 and my wife is 5’6, so when she wears heels I’m like 2-3inches shorter than her. I like it

Does anyone else have it?

There is a difference of 5cm/2" between my wife and me barefoot. So when she wears heels she easily surpasses me. 😀

How tall are both of you?

[Isolathor]

She is 176cm, i'm 181cm.

I had the opposite situation--I was 5'6" and my ex-wife was 5'8". Back in the day, heels just weren't as high as they seemed, but we all know from the laws of geometry that you gain most of your actual height from the first three inches of heel (if you're not wearing platforms). So I will not claim that my ex-wife was over 6' in heels--she wasn't. But she was every bit of 5'11", and it never seemed to bother either of us. Unfortunately, OTHER things bothered us, and we are no longer married. Differences in height never did.

Having said that, I don't care anymore. I simply don't get a charge out of being taller or shorter than the next person. My current wife is 5'3", or 160 cm, and I have shrunk to 5'5", or 165 cm. She used to be a high heeled girl, but life has changed all that. I just don't care anymore. I just like wearing heels, irrespective of the effect that it has on my effective height.

You need to wear your heels is all.

My wife is much shorter than me, 5ft4, I'm 5ft10. She doesn't wear heels. I'm usually in 5 inch heels almost all the time in public, about 3.5 inch in human height, so I really tower over her.

Not quite the same, but my wife's first husband was shorter than she was, so he forbid her to ever wear high heels. Well for differing reasons they divorced and she married me, and asked if she could wear high heels. I told her I was not the shoe police so she started wearing them, but she went off the deep end. Not every pair of shoes she has are high heels, but she has A LOT of them. She has her own walk in shoe closet we call her "shoe barn". Its well over 200 pairs of shoes...

Her first husband sounds insecure and controlling.

Nice that she feels comfortable indulging her passion for heels.

Only 200?

Too bad you both don't wear the same size heels, built in collection to wear!

My friend showed me pictures of her anut's high heel shoe collection, 600 to 800 pairs, mostly pumps. Asked me if I was jealous.

Of course there’s always Imelda Marcos …

Oh my, probably more information than you want to hear as I constantly say 'I do not wear heels, but my wife does'... Well, I have tried on a few of hers. Most just will not fit, but a few of her sling backs will. There is just enough elastic banding to them to stretch so they can be worn. But that is only about six out of several hundred pair!

I try to keep my collection at around 100. Even then, there are shoes that I don't wear often--once a year or less. Of course, if I were able to wear heels every day, that might change the equation somewhat. Kind of like the wealth inequality in the world, half a dozen of my shoes get 80% of the wear.

[Shyheels]

I’ve a mere seven pair, all boots - three stiletto, four chunky heels. I like having a pair of 12cm stilettos but I seldom wear them

I hear ya....But, it is a treat to rediscover a pair that has been out of circulation for awhile!

I wasn't jealous because they were PUMPS and my feet aren't pump friendly.

Also, I have enough heels that there are some that rarely see daylight.

I bet that is nice.

For me, who has a lot of shoes myself, I just like matching the right color or style of shoes with the clothes I am wearing. Since I wear traditional male clothes, but try to match my shoes with my pants, wearing something like olive pants and matching it with olive shoes shows I know something about color matching anyway. They say that the first thing people notice about you is what you wear for shoes because most people are looking down and thus see your shoes first. For me it is more about just getting details right... like color.

They also say a lot of women have plenty of shoes because its the one part of their wardrobe where weight gain does not nullify them wearing them. So shoes can be discovered and always worn.

My wife has a friend though who is interesting. She was born with six toes so needless to say she is not going barefoot on a beach for NOTHING. But she compensates for it by having plenty of shoes. I mean plenty, like over 600 pairs. Kind of an interesting phycological reason but I can see why she has so many shoes; she is super self-conscious about her feet.

Understandable for sure, must have a few rooms dedicated to shoe storage.
