In my day, the higher the better. If i were young once more, high heels and clothes would be a main stay in the closet. Also, beautiful nails with lots of glorious color. My grands and great grands appreciate nice things. most things are good, dont ruin it by taking all the fun out of life. Enjoy, be happy if you can.

As someone who was involved in the shoe business for almost forty years may I share a suggestion I made to many customers? When a woman is on their way to an event where she needs to wear heels, she can wear comfortable shoes-be it sandals to keds to running shoes. When she gets to where she is going-notice she has arrived-no reason to drive in heels-change into her heels. It never hurts to sit as much as possible at the event. When she leaves, slip her pair of comfortable shoes on, putting her heels back into the over sized bag she is carrying.

First off let me say the first 9 comments should be taken down. I truly hate these people who have to advertise their crappy web sites that are most likely full of spam, adware and viruses. GET A LIFE!!!!

Ok....now thats over......I must say that I am a MAJOR lover of heels. Being just 5'2" I think all of my heels are 4" or higher. Now I dont wear them every day since my job is very casual, but when I get the chance I am breaking out those pumps. I know when I get older I am going to have major problems with my feet.

Honey, you probably will have major problems with your feet. I do, because I was a high heel wearer for only about ten years. I wore them to my job, and out at night. Big mistake. Today, I dread to put a pair on. I mostly wear flats and great tennis shoes!

I remember wearing heels to work, and out dancing, now I have very painful feet
:-( Girls, it is nooooooooo fun, I wish I knew better, back then!

Oh wow, shocking! Two inches is nothing, all my heels are 4.5". I'm gonna be a cripple in 10 years.

I wore a lot of high heels when I was younger and would walk all over a resort property. I walked most times for at least 15-20 minutes, 2-3x a day in those high heels. My feet were killing me, but it looked so chic to wear them, plus the other gals wore them (except they never had to walk, they all had true desk jobs). Now my feet are all messed up and I can only wear flats now for work. I do miss a heel once in a while, but not worth the pain nor the problems that come with it. Basically in heels, one is walking on the balls of one feet - they were never meant to bear the full weight. So yes, you can abuse your body and feet when you're young, but there will be a price to pay later in life. Unfortunately.

After having three knee surgeries due to having to run in the military to pass their physical fitness test each year, I can't wear high heels without being in pain the next day. I also cannot wear flats, because I have very high arches. I have to wear shoes that don't go in either extreme - neither too flat nor too high. What a pain!

When I was in college I wore 2 1/2 to 3" heels everyday, and walked all over campus of a huge university. Twenty years later I have terrible feet!! I can't even wear a 1" heal anymore. Only flats for me, mostly tennis shoes, not very fasionable, but at least I don't cry in pain when I go to bed at night. Girls don't wear them!

You have no idea of the high price to be paid for abusing your feet! If I had known back then what an effect all of the gorgeous high-heeled shoes I wore would have on my life later on, I would have worn them less often--if at all. The pain is horrible and it never stops, not even when one is sleeping. I am barely able to walk and can only do so if I am wearing shoes; going barefoot is impossible as my feet are so tender I feel as if I am walking on broken glass. Of course, there are surgical procedures that can maybe make things somewhat better but the recovery time is 6 months plus per foot. My understanding is that for some patients, the surgery is not guarateed to be successful and can possibly make things worse. Besides that, I can't not work for 6 months--much less an entire year! The procedures are very expensive, too. I miss feeling the way a beautiful pair of heels makes a woman feel and look but trust me, it wasn't worth it. I hope that young women read this article and take heed. Your future depends on it!

i would like to wear it

do you

I gave up heels back in the platform days when I was in my 20s. Sprained ankles, heel spurs, plantar faceitis, bunions and hammertoes are no picnic. My feet are so picky now that no matter what shoe I buy, I have to take them home for a trial in the house for about 2 weeks or more before I can commit to keeping them.
I have also taken care of female nursing home residents who wore them so much that their Achilles tendon had shortened to the point that they could only walk on the balls of their feet, even barefoot.
Do yourselves a favor, don't wear them, they only ruin things later.

It’s really great to post my comments on such a blog. I would like to appreciate the great work done by the web master and would like to tell everyone that they should post their interesting comments and should make this blog interesting. Once again I would like to say keep it up to blog owner!!!!

I. as a lot of other women would loves to buy classy shoes, but with 1 to 2 inch heels. I would have thought there would a better choice of heels out there, hopefully, in the future the shoe industry will wake up.

I for one will not wear painful shoes for fashion.
