Comfortable high heels. Is there such a thing?

Luckygirl My late mother wore 4inch heels every day ,she had size two feet so when she was young her shoes were made for her and her sister who had sze 1 .Both ladies had no issues with their feet in fact before my mother died at 82 her chiropodist said he had seen feet 50 years younger in much worse condition ,she also had no issues with her knees or her hips or her back .I'm now 62 and I wear high heels every day even when I took my grankids for a walk in their prams.I feel better with my heels,as I'm just 5 ft 2 and also with my makeup which I wear every day .I have no intention of ever wearing flat shoes my feet have no corns or bunions and my joints are fine .I bought a pair of sandals with a tiny 1 inch heel as party shoes for my 7 year old grandaughter who loves my heels,sadly her other gran has forbidden her to wear them .

Never found a pair of comfy high heels or even kitten heels.I can't walk with elegance in them, I lwalk like a man in heels which kills the effect I'm looking for,so I stick with flats.

I have read that Christian Louboutin (sp) and Manolo Blahnik (sp again!) heels are comfortable. I will let you know after I have won the lottery and bought some

Adore high heels but damaged my ankle badly earlier this year( was wearing flats when I fell!!) so unable to wear them at the moment. Have lots of pretty dresses but I feel so frumpy wearing them with flats. Spent the summer wearing maxi dresses and flipflops. Bought some nice boots in Pavers for the winter to wear with jeans and leggings.
Hoping to eventually get back into my high heels. Can't bear the thought of throwing them out.

Oh, I love high heels! I used to wear them every day - I occasionally used to walk over a mile to work and back in them comfortably, but am restricted now to high days and holidays, because of the ruddy bunions. My prettiest ones are totally out of the question , but I can't bear to get rid of them, and I live in hope that a miracle bunion procedure is going to be developed that'll make them wearable for me again. I can still squeeze into some of my collection though, and the pain is worth it Surprisingly, the most comfortable I have are the cheapest - a pair of wide fit stilettos from New Look. The downside though is that they didn't use to offer leather shoes (they may do now).

I knew I'd get bunions, as they're in the family on both sides. My DGM swore that she would never wear flats, and never did, despite developing them in middle age - she trotted out every day in her court shoes, hat and gloves until the day before she died at 94. My DM only wore heels a few times in her life, and had horrendous bunions.

Kitten heels look good, and give you a slight lift, also ankle boots with a small heel, I like most of the Hotter range( I could tick each page of the Hotter brochure.)

I've never worn them.Ive had a bad back since I was 19.

I have a couple of pairs of Hotters, and they are very comfortable. But I've gone and fallen for a pair of their boots, only to find that they aren't available in wider fit

I did try to cram the bunion on in there, Ugly Sister style, but sadly it was not to be.

We retired to a small village in the country and close to the sea. Our lovely new neighbours warned us from the start that if any woman was seen in the vicinity wearing heels that were anything but flat, she would be asked when the interview was! Certainly such footwear would have made no sense walking down lanes with no pavements (but plenty of cows!) or on paths to the beach....

When my daughter got married, I was persuaded to buy a pair of expensive four inch stilettos which perfectly matched my mother-of-the-bride outfit.In spite of the gel cushions I also bought,these proved to be an endurance test, and I could not wait to change into a comfortable pair of wedgies for the evening celebrations. Never again! I fear I shall never be elegant....

Granmatty, I bought some wonderful high heel, open toe, soft, lightly punched leather shoes from Asda which are a dream to wear and are much admired. 5 pounds in a sale
I confess that I was the original shoe queen don't buy now far far too many pairs

maggie I too was very tempted by those Hotters. They do them in purple as well....my own problem is fat ankles and small feet-they look like pig's trotters in most ankle boots..
