roniheels Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 y07k, I have a pair of pumps with 6" stiletto high heels from Ellie and Pleaser. Both cost around $40 and they are pretty and decent shoe. I just don't wear them all that often anymore, especially in public. I just don't walk that quickly and smoothly in them anymore.

pussyinboots Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I can wear 4 inch indefinitely, 5 inch for a day, 6 inch if I don't have to stand or walk in them. I like your honesty. Despite many people's claims that 6" heels can be worn all day without breaks, the reality is very different. Most 6" heels put a lot of strain on the ankles, the ball of the foot and the toes, the calf muscles and the hips. However, 6" 'stripper' heels are different, in that the platform brings the true 'rake' of the foot down to that of a 4.5" heel. In addition, a lot of male heel wearers may find that walking in extreme heels is easier on their joints, as they tend to be thicker and stronger than a girl's. In all honesty, I can WEAR any height heel without a platform - however walking in them brings the limit down to a 6"/6.25" heel without a platform - and for no more than a few hours.....with 'rest breaks'.

stefan Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I like your honesty.

Pussyinboots, I think you are on to something. There are days when I have been at the office the whole day in boring mens shoes and sometimes are a little bit aking in the feet. When I put on heels my feet feels better, would you beleive it. Best regards, Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I can wear up to 5" comfortably, anything higher than that becomes very difficult to walk in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have high arches stefan? Because what your describing sounds like it. Men's shoes or any flats for that matter are the bane of high arches. Shafted, the boots that is!

dww Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 To be really honest I can spend all day in 3 inch heels no problems at all. That is the heel height I like and am comfortable with. 4 to 4.5 inch heels I can do but I pay for it after a while say 2-3 hours. As I have a very bad back problem 3 inch heels work very well and nobody really notices, so I am happy and my back is happy. I have only ever bought one pair of platform shoes that was in 1976 and they were from Clarks and had a very small platform say half an inch or so I liked the style they were called Emma if I recall correctly. (you are a real shoe nutter when can recall all the names of the shoes you bought over the years) I can for one. It's like remembering all your car reg numbers you have bought and your dads. life is not a rehearsal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
