Chrissy85 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Have you ever been wearing high heels and gotten a peculiar look, or worse, someone made a unflattering comment about your wearing high heels? The only time I have gotten a comment is when I was buying some heels and the cashier, an older woman, said, "Those are really high." She said it with a disapproving tone. I didn't care, but it is the only instance that I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Apart from the odd complaint about damage to floors, I think most of the disaproval came from and still does now and then from my mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franie Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Men look at you one way and woman look another. Some woman may be jealous that you can wear higher heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy85 Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Franie, you are probably correct. My one incident wasn't s situation of jealousy, but more one of disapproval. It was as if she was telling me that her opinion was that girls should not be wearing heels that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehighheelsgirl Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I def think other girls look at your heels and get jealous that ur wearing em. When I used to work at a country club, all the other girls would ask me "OMG how can you wear heels that high?" Of course, the looks from boys are totally different! I've let a few girls I know who have the same size feet as me try on my heels, and its always the "man I don't know how u can do do this" comment! Jen Yes, I do walk in these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancer Girl Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I find that most men look or stare and enjoy the view of me in heels while more ladies frown upon it and comment on things such as they are bad for your back, it is dangerous and it makes me look like a tramp.

PeggyNPumps Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I have been getting those catty comments for over 20 years, usually from women in their 40s - 50s. Most of it seems to be about putting anyone down that dares to be different and/or hasn't packed on the pounds and lost their shape. Men on the other hand seem to have become much more obvious in their admiration of heels. I used to find guys what would sneak a peek at my heels but now they downright stare. I find youner women wearing taller heels now especially when i am out dancing. So there I just blend in. There will always be those that can't believe you actually wear those and it doesn't kill your feet. They may have had bad experiences when they were younger or its just the kind of person they are to have to cut someone else down. Just hold your head high, I usually don't even bother to answer some of the comments i have heard. Enjoy, PnP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 It's simply Jealousy that drives those other women to be disapproving. T be honest I kind of thrive on other womens jealousy. My mothers disapproval was of concern not jealousy, a more nurturing disapproval. I noticed in general that it's the more mature mens eyes that linger on my footwear. I guess maybe they would feel less embarrassed at being caught staring. Never a stare of disapproval from the males, not that I noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get any catty, bitchy or negative comments, but I do get a lot of people asking how on earth I walk in shoes like that. The shoes that get the most comments are my 6" heels where my feet are vertical, my Louboutins and by far the most was when I wore some 7"+ camouflage platforms for a fancy dress party.
