For girls, do you prefer wearing flats or high heels?

[Valhalla]

If wearing high heels causes a lot of problems, why is it that heels are more favored?

[Hidden_P]

Generally I wear flats.

One of the girls is right, it can be a pain finding ones that fit right, but I find them more comfortable with general use. I'm 5 foot 6, so if I wear heels I look like a monster tower.

Heels that are a couple of inchs are fine for me to walk in, shame I adore the look of higher heels and what they do to my legs!

The reason a lot of women wear them is they elongate the legs and the calf muscles used to keep yourself on your tiptoes are strengthened, hence that 'popping' effect the calf does. A lot of men find it attractive.

I like flats better. It's nice to wear heels every now and then because it makes me a feel a bit sexier but flats are just SO much more comfortable and easy to walk in.

thank you for BA :)

I LOVE heels! Stilettos are my absolute favorites, both because they are so sexy and so comfortable. If I am going to be doing a lot of walking I prefer a wedge because they *tend* to be a bit more comfortable than stilettos, but there are exceptions. I HATE flats! To me flats are some sort of barbarian torture devices. But then again I have high arches and short Achilles tendons which make any type of high heels comfortable. I prefer anything around 3-4 1/2 inches, I can do a 2 1/2, but it is not my favorite. I also do not like platforms too much only certain styles they look a bit like they belong on a street corner. Hope this Helps! =D

i prefer heels but I don't wear them all the time.

heels are sexier. they make my posture look more attractive and my legs look longer and my butt more pronounced. overall I look slimmer and sexier. plus they make any outfit look nicer.

but, they are not so comfortable. especially lately since I had an injury and now I have leg problems I have not worn heels in months. I miss them like crazy.

can't wait to wear them again.

but I don't wear heels to school or on casual days, they look strange for that. I wear (wore) them to work or religious services or for going out somewhere nice or a fancy occasion.

My feet are kind of flat :/

So usually I just wear non-heels. I do wear them sometimes but they hurt more for me because of my feet. I've literally taken my shoes off in the street because they hurt so much. I learned my lesson, so I keep some flats with me when I'm wearing heels in my bag but yeah. I love heels so much too. I'm comfortable at my height but they do boost me up. and I know my boyfriend appreciates it because I'm 5'4 and he's 6'4. a little boost puts me closer to his face :)

but they hurt so I just stay down here most of the time :(

just from a fashion perspective, I like both. I don't think I like the way heels look more than flats per se, but heels at something to outfits and I love clothes, so if I had more arched feet, I would probably wear heels more than I do now, but not necessarily like them more than flats.

I prefer heels.

I wear them most the time - apart from work. One of my jobs they're just really strict on uniform and they're not allowed, and the other - flats are just more practical.

But generally, apart from at work, if I'm wearing shoes, I'm wearing some sort of heels. They just look nicer, and generally hurt my feet a little less, for day to day purposes, just I suppose because I'm used to having pressure in those places on my feet rather than where I get it from wearing flats.

i don't wear anything I can not run in. you never know when you will need to run, or WANT to.

heals are bad for you back. bad for your feet. they disable you in many ways. wearing heels, you are weaker than you otherwise would be. you have to be learning disabled to an extent, to wear them of your own volition, imo.

Heels, Heels, & more Heels all the way! Heels are sexy, they cause us to walk even sexier. They add hgt, they add confidence & they make many outfits more appealing

[kady4e]

I used to love sneakers (not really flats) but I ended up having more heels then other kinds of shoes.

I'm kind of addicted to heels now, despite most of them not being that comfy and always end up with my feet hurting pretty bad.

Heels, more comfortable if it's 3.5" or under.

I find it easier to walk in and find them easy to match with outfits.

Flats are a huge hassle trying to get the right size.

[Alanaaa]

I like heels (wedges) but only ones that are 2-3 inches because I am 5'7. But I guess flats because I'm so tall ;/

[PoeticNinja]

I prefer wearing high heels.

Flats or any flat sandals make my feet ache so much.

[cuteLiLbunny]

heels if there comfortable ones but I have flat feet so surprisingly flats hurt me

heels just make me feel sexy. not really sure why...but they make you taller and make your legs look better. basically walking around on tiptoes. feels kind of sexy in situations. its hard to explain.

[MiaChan]

flats because I'm so used to them, plus I'm 6 ft tall so wearing heels are a bit of a prob for me

[karenirving307]

I prefer wearing Flats there easy to move around in although I enjoy wearing high heels.

[Cuddle_Muffin]

High heels and wedges. Anything I wear flat is boots or warm fuzzies.

flats

-i'm tall enough already so wearing heels makes me tower over people even more

-i walk awkwardly in heels

-heels hurt after wearing them for a while

[Anonymous]

I'm short, and I hate getting crap about it, constantly. When I wear heels I feel more powerful, and they make my legs look amazing.

[LonelyandInTheDark]

i prefer sandals or sneakers...flats don't seem to look good on girls with thicker legs.

[Anonymous]

Flats. I think that heels are more favored for women because it makes them feel sexy and confident.

[mariasalvado]

cuz others think they look sexier. I feel more comfortable with heels. they don't cause varicose veins as much as heels do.
