Anita C. Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Wondering how many can wear & walk in HIGH Stilettos & for how long? 'Nita C. "Spike Heels . . a Pork-pie hat . .

Laurieheels Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I voted at 6 inches, simply because my ability at 7 is not ready for the outside world for long periods of time. Sadly, there hasn't been a lot of motivation of late for improving the heel heights. A lot of factors, certainly. But I will always remember my 16 hour day of 5.5 inch heels as my record for wearing time combined with height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanity Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Ten years ago I could walk in 6 inch heels for an evening, and use 5 inch heels for a long walk, but today my joints start complaining. I must be honest and say that 5 inch is still the limit for longer use because of my small feet (4-5 UK), thats my vote. True 7 inchers like my avatar is the ultimate and admirable "Queen". I must ask you girls, the sandals are more popular than ever, but with really high heels it gets unsteady and it feels unsecure, for me anyway. What is your experience in those sandals? Ankle boots is my favorite because it support your foot and it's easier to "balance" when the heel is very high. "Vanity is my life and that's my name." I just love High heels.

Gayle Gold Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Don't know how to vote in these things - so have just posted reply. Sorry, am Forum virgin.

RHONDA Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 My vote is for 5.5" stilettos. My daily heel is the 5.5" for 12 hours easy. this is 7 days a week, for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberheel Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 5" for me. Then I can walk, act normal and still have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeBimbo Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Where's the voting options gone?? Most days I wear around 5" all day for work, but I am quite happy with 5 1/2" for going out pubs, clubs etc. I have worn 6" for going out - but have to sit a lot through the evening - so OK for a restaurant but not standing around in a pub.

thehighheelsgirl Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 6" for me as well. Yes, I do walk in these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pussyinboots Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 For me - daily wear is 4", 4.5" and 5" maximum. Evenings out and in - 5.5" up to 6.5". I can walk in extreme heels - but couldn't last more than an evening -including sitting down a lot!!

platformchic Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I haven't tried to walk in 7 inch without platforms. I would say i can walk in 4-6 inch without much problem. I love high heels like these!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herheels Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I like 5" inch for walking and doing just about anything. But prefer a platform, just so i can get a higher heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicia Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 of course 5" 1 Boot me up, Boot me down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxine Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Having read the rest of the replies, I think I'm right in the 'average' bracket - boring but true, lol. Depending on the type of day I have (whether I have meetings, who with, how long I'll be on my feet), for work I would say somewhere between 3.5" - 4.5" possibly up to 5" Evenings in pubs and clubs usually 4.5"-5.5" I *generally* don't personally like the aesthetic of anything higher than that, platform or not. That said I do have some 6" heels, but they are for bedroom-use-only lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primm Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I find 5 inches are great for a full night out including dancing etc. Anything higher would involved lots of sitting down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicia Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 me too, most of my boots are 4 " to 5" stiletto or spike. I am very used to wear them to walk, dance and even run LOL.... I do have boots with 5.5" heels, if i wear them, i'll put some padding or cushioning inserts, so that I can shift weight to the heel reduces the pressure shift weight back to your heels. 1 Boot me up, Boot me down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachyshoes Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 6 inches Those are my work shoes in my avatar pic. I can happily wear them all day. In the evening I usually wear 4 1/2 or 5 inches as my town has alot of hills and any higher I would be on the floor. What you might find a little unusual is that I have size uk 3 feet. 6 inches is the highest hight I can wear without a platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pussyinboots Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yeah....right! I take a UK 4.5/5 - have been wearing stilettos for over 20 years - and still have trouble with 6" heels. Personally - I don't believe anyone who says they can wear them comfortably all day. Even the models, dancers and other 'professional wearers' I know can't last all day in 6" or more without platforms - they're just too hard on the joints and muscles. A UK Size 3 foot is 23 cms in length. A 6 inch heel is 15 or 16 cms high. So - you can walk around all day with the heel and sole of your foot at an 82.5 degree angle - just 7.5 degrees off vertical??

Vivienne Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 My highest pump fetish heel that I can walk in is a 7 inch ..for how long depends on the style of the heel itself ..I have black 7 with a strap and its eaiser to walk in that than a 6 inch sometimes ..and I also find the same with my 7 inch red spiked heels ..

RachelSue6 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I voted 5" but I can only stand or walk in them for half an hour or so. I'd have voted 4.5" if that was an option - I can do those all day. What a difference that half inch makes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Goddess Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I wore 5" wedges the other day and it was hard for me to walk after I got home and took them off. I think I could wear 4.5s or 5s all day everyday if I didn't have to bend and stoop to take care of the kids and run after them and clean at the salon. I would love to wear them every day, maybe when the baby starts walking. Nail Goddess:queen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah G Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 5.5" is a must for evenings out, even for food shopping, makes me feel great, but after 4 or 5 hours my calfs ache a bit, but worth it. Work usally 4.5" to 5" can do all day in these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debragloves Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I voted for 5. I have worn 5" inches for years. I can wear 6", but that would make for a long day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny_sweden Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 5,5" for a entire day and evening. I´ve tried 6" but can´t last so many hours in them. Although it depends on how much walking you must do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I can wear 5's but not for very long. There's a few of them in the back of my closet. I'm forced onto my tippy toes and I can barely raise the heel of the ground if I try to arch my feet higher. I think my feet just arent really long enough to wear them.
