Does anyone still wear heels?

Wearing heels always made me feel good but nowadays I go for comfort. I think I have a pair of low heels still but they really hurt my feet, only wear them when I have to. Glad you mentioned DMs Day6, meant to look for a pair of the flowery ones this winter.

Yes especially when visiting or out for the evening. My outfit just doesn't feel right if I don't. These days I do wear a thick high heel though so feel supported for hours.

I've never worn them, and I find it strange to watch women tottering around in heels when they're doing the weekly shop.
There are some beautiful ones though.

Oh, I miss my high heels! I spend far too much time now stomping round in flats or low heels and even Uggs and yes, I do find I slouch more. I still have lots of pairs of beautiful shoes, and I do occasionally put some on for a special occasion. But my bunion really doesn't like them.

I haven't worn heels since I was very young and even then they were only low heels. Never could get on with anything higher than about 2 inches. Now my feet are far too problematic to cope with heels anyway. So it's flat shoes all the way - trainers or low-heeled ankle boots, or stylish flip-flop type sandals in the summer.
I stopped being a slave to fashion after a particularly painful encounter with a pair of white Ravel heeled shoes when I was about 18. They were simply too tight - I'd hoped they'd 'give' on wearing, but they were having none of it. I'll never forget the pain on the bus journey home from work - I thought my feet would never recover . Actually, perhaps they didn't . Anyway, it's comfort first these days!

Since I discovered - about 30 years ago - that heels gave me backache, I haven't worn anything higher than 2 inches but I have a couple of pretty pairs of lower heels (one black pair and one pewter) for special occasions. Comfort is paramount.

Having a bad back since I was 19 I never wore them. I tell my self it was a good move since I don’t have problems like bunions only finding comfortable shoes that fit my narrow foot. More padding between my feet and the ground the better!

Does anyone still wear heels?

Nah. I'm a tramper not a totterer and, like envious, have had an arthritic back since my teens. Going shopping for hiking poles tomorrow in readiness for the hazards of our steep hill this winter. Got crampons already, now I just need 'bracers' for my getting-more-dodgy knees.

When I was in my early twenties I wore shoes with small heels sometimes. I am quite tall so don’t need extra height. Eventually it dawned on me that high heels are really silly, and I’ve worn more or less flat shoes ever since.

Why would anyone put themselves on stilts? What does it say about the subjection of women? I get quite worried when I see newsreaders and serious intelligent journalists on television wearing thin heels several inches high. They should know better. Quite apart from those issues, they are obviously bad for the feet and back. Crazy, but incomprehensibly widely accepted.

Oddly enough I was sitting in the car waiting for DH yesterday and just started noticing how very few women wear heels during the day, especially high ones. Perhaps the odd business type in a smart suit.

So much more liberating don’t you think?

It’s slightly different at night if you’re ‘dressing up’ I suppose.

PS don’t wear them myself

I haven't worn them for years but found a couple of pairs at the back of the wardrobe. On trying them on found that they were really quite comfortable so have started to wear them again.

I've got a cupboard full of shoes and boots of varying heights but find with the exception of two pairs of boots I can't wear heels more than 1.5" high. I have odd shaped feet with toes all the same length and a high instep so anything too high squashes my toes or throws my feet forward too much. As I never go anywhere I mostly live in slippers which doesn't help when shoes are called for! So annoying as I have some beautiful ones

I stopped wearing heels in my 40s. I now have spine problems which means I am a full time wheelchair user. Because I don’t have to stand up and walk in them anymore, I have several beautiful high heels that I love to wear justfor show. It’s fabulous to show them off but no need to walk in them!

I have worn Skechers for a year and a half now. They are blissfully comfortable. I even have Skechers boots for the winter. The downside is I cannot walk more than a few feet in court shoes. At a recent wedding I only made it till after the ceremony before I had to ask my husband to fetch my Skechers, glittery ones, from the car. I couldn’t have walked to the car myself in a 2” heel! 5 minutes later almost all the female wedding guests had done the same! We had a great time with comfortable feet.

As a life long “high heel shoe a holic “ I have now damaged all the nerves in the balls of my feet ! I have saved some fave heels for many years, thinking, well if I was going out to dinner, so just in/out of the car ... I maybe could wear them.
However, during my last clear out, I was brave and they all went to the charity shop, my heart was heavy, but realistic ! I can now manage wedges for special occasions but always have flats in my bag, just in case ! I cannot be a martyr to my feet anymore, but I just don’t feel dressy without a heel of some sort.

I still wear heels for evening out or nice restaurant lunch. They even make you walk 'taller' and posture miraculously improves.
Flat boots during the day from now till Spring.

I couldn't live without my heels. I love them and feel they finish off an outfit.

I haven't worn stilettoes for donkey's years. I used to wear them all day, all evening, every day and trot up and down Oxford Street in my lunch hour. But due to a fractured spine and severe arthritis in my knees it is now ballets, moccasins and boots. I miss them and the clothes that went with them as I was very elegant. But now I have a couple of gorgeous grandchildren who do sleepovers and for whom I babysit 2 days a week, and I never go dancing any more, so I have had to let go of the old look and go for comfort, but am hanging on to snazzy hair and makeup!

I love my heels- the higher & thinner the better. I dread the day when I may not be able to wear them. I have never worn flat or low heeled shoes unless it is for dog walking or with jeans- even then there are some great high heeled boots that look good with jeans & trousers. I'm tall too so it's not that I need them- I just love them!

I have a favourite couple of pairs of 3" heels that I wear for occasions. But otherwise I wear flats, boots or sandals.

However, I have an aunt who is 102 years old and she never wears flats. She still is very elegant and wears 2" heels regularly. She is an exceptional woman though in every way.

Last time I wore heels was at my son's wedding 9 years ago wand I fell over !! I shouldn't have even thought of wearing them as I have a permanently damaged ankle from an injury ,bunions and very wide feet ( even chiropodists comment on my awful feet !) It's flat lace ups most of the time and supportive sandals although have just bought a nice pair of flat lace up boots from hotter which are very comfy .

I've never worn high heels but have worn chunky heels like the Queen! Much more comfortable. I'm now into trainers - patterned ones or shoes with just a slight rise on the heel such as Rieker - again in different colours - which are a bit quirky. Comfort - and being able to balance - is the primary objective!

Yes, I wear heels regularly. Don't feel dressy without them. Somewhat sober for business (at the moment black suede knee high) and snazzier for things like lunches. Resort to flats for long days out with grandchildren and around the house and garden of course. I'm grateful current health state still allows me to choose.

Yes, yes, yes. I'm high and proud. (Actually short and plump but my shoes are high and proud. )
