I, personally, am all about heels. I wear them everyday. I mean heels to...4 inches is the average.

But I don't think that even I could do that!

Zan, did you get a pair of those to go with your poll? Laughing

Shocked Shocked Even with 4" heels I would break my neck. I can barely handle 2" heals unless they are clog type heals. I really don't need them as I am 5'10".

I wear high high heels too....being that I am only 5'2'', that's my only hope of ever being average height! I don't think I would wear those though.....I don't really fancy them!

Yeah, I'm 5'5'' on a good day. So I've been wearing them for as long as I can remember. My dh is 6'3'' so we look kinda funny if I don't wear them. Plus, it is really hard to find pants that are short enought to wear without heels. Rolling Eyes

hahaha my dh is only 2 inches taller than me, so I am the opposite. If I wear high heals then we look silly. Also i am opposite with pants. I have a really hard time finding pants that are long enough of even 2"heels Laughing Laughing

Alright. I need a pair of those. Of course, I would probably kill myself. I am a complete clutz as I can barely walk without tripping in flats! I am 5'4 and my hubby is 6'6. We sound the same mc. Regular pants are too long and petite are too short for me. I can't win!

I'm 5'4" and I looooove how long my pants are. I'm one of those "wish I was 4'11" people - I think being short is so cute! I love the idea of being tiny. Weird, I know. Rolling Eyes Laughing

am I the only person who gets cramps in their calves while wearing heels? Neutral

nope heels kill me.
my calves cramp and I can't walk properly either lol
I'm only 5'2" and I'm a strictly flats girl (or trainers).
I used to love heels about 10 years ago but haven't really worn them since I broke my navicular bone falling off the tiniest pait of platforms ever (they were about an inch lmao)

Quote:
The navicular bone is a key structural component in the formation of the arch of the foot. When this bone is in the proper position, the arch is maintained. However, if this bone moves out of position, towards the bottom of the foot (plantar surface), then the arch begins to sag and disappear.
