I totally agree - the lengthen your legs and make them look slimmer and just make you feel better.

I always feel like a fat frump when I wear flat shoes (other than runners)

this is sooooo true. a sexy shoe = a sexy leg

The things about heels for me though is I can't wear a shoe unless they're Mary-Jane or there's a strap of some kind. I'm a size 3 and even at that I find I slip out of all shoes unless i'm literally strapped in!

I know what you mean chick. I much prefere a strap, and I'm a size 5 so I can only imagine how you feel. awwws. lol. But deffo a thumbs up for the strap.

They are both fab, I would end up with both of them.

However would probably get more wear out of the red!!!

I don't have great feet and high heels hurt me pretty badly, add to that I can't really walk in them so I avoid them. I do like wedges though, I have a nice pair from Marks.

Good heels shouldn't hurt that much.
I wore the 6 inchers on Sat, was on my feet all night and they were fine on Sunday.

Where did you get comfortable 6 inchers?

I love heels, I'm a bitch when I'm uncomfortable though. So nobody loves me in them.

I hate wearing or shopping for heels as I find it almost impossible to get a comfortable pair. I'm only 5"2 so they are a must when going out. I find it really hard to find a pair to fit though, I'm a size 4 1/2 so size four are far too small and five far too big. Nightmare!:(

oh i do love my shoes but what happens if you can't afford to buy expensive shoes:( i know i really can't do the really high heels. but nothing better than after a great night out walking home in your bare feet holding your shoes. ive done it so often round the streets of dublin my poor guy still gets nervous for some reason. and the one time i did walk to my night link with my shoes on someone stood on my food and i ended up with a sprained foot:mad:

Sometimes Dunnes has the most comfortable heels ever.
They aren't high but they are brilliant.

I hate heels ever since some girl stood on my foot and fractured my metatarsel. They're evil, I swear, EVIL!

Never been much of a heel-wearer; will wear them with dresses and for fancy occasions, but on a regular night out I likes me flats! Comfort > appearance any day! My motto is that by midnight no one's going to notice anyway except for me and I may as well be in comfort.

I wore platforms every day in school. With me, it was the higher the heel, the better. I was forever in trouble for wearing them. Now I know why...my ankles are in bits and I'm only 24. I wear flats every day now, but on nights out I wear my heels. I recently bought a fabulous pair of sexy platform style heels in Schuh which I've been wearing a lot but are horrendously uncomfortable.

i LOVE heels but my favourite pair cripple me. they're so pretty and silver and shiny and beautiful but they were cheap so much pain ensues. i've been wearing flats loads lately but i'll go for heels if i'm wearing some sort of fabulous dress that deserves fabulous shoes and fabulous legs!

I don't like wearing heels-they make me feel way too tall:(

Laurs_civic

If i think they might be a bit sore I'll bring those compeed plasters, the ones that look like skin.
Or I'll stick a tiny pair of flats in my handbag for walking home in.

As for cheap shoes, I get a lot in New Look, but sometimes they hurt a lot.

*note to women*

wearing high heels alot when you go out can lead to men thinking you have shrunk when they see you in flats for the first time

Ginny

Hey now you'd seen the shoes you knew how high they were what did you expect?

justsomebloke

hey I didn't know how high your heals usually were the first few time I met you

I'm the exact same shoe size as you, and a fellow shortie at 5 foot nothing. It's beyond annoying at this stage. No shops do half sizes anymore. Apparently it's too expensive for too small demand (even though that would be a few million people :rolleyes: ) a sympathetic assistant in Aldo told me.

I have pretty much no nice shoes at the moment as a result.

I'm head over heels in lust with that Office shoe, especially the leopard print.
I was about to give a to Susanna about the half sizes, I'm a 6 1/2, which is also a 40. I don't usually have a problem.
But ~SNIFF~ they don't do that office must have in half sizes.

Same here I have like one pair of fives at the moment that I got in Dunnes that dont fall off. And you can forget about any shoes that arent backless. I was looking at a few American sites, size six usa seems to be a uk four and a half so I'm contemplating trying that.

Call me your fairy god mother,
Because of the size of the heels there is some slippage of the foot so your best bet is to go up half a size, go in and try a 7 on..they should fit.

I have 90 something pairs of shoes.......only one of which are flats. I love high heels, am 5' 8" so don't necessarily need them but certainly love them.

I know:o I have quite the problem when it comes to shoes, coats and handbags.......just can't get enough of them. I only counted because the last time I bought a pair I had no where to put them, under the bed (double king size) completely full, both wardrobes in my bedroom totally full of shoes (the space at the bottom) spare room wardrobe again totally full. But they're fab:)
