Can tall women wear heels?

[Pink2000]

So my aunt and I had a discussion about tall women in heels. She thinks tall women shouldn’t wear heels because it’s tacky and they’re already tall and the majority of them have large feet. If you’re over 5’8 it really isn’t necessary. I disagree because I think heels look classy on anyone.

Let's make one thing abundantly clear... no woman "needs" to wear heels. I don't care if you're 5'1 or 6'1. Heels are something you choose to wear either because you like them and how they make you look, or you're wearing them to appear taller, or they are part of some uniform you're wearing, or any combination of that.

I'm 5'9, and in my favorite pair, I am 6'1. My whole life I've been told by someone somewhere, that I shouldn't wear heels, and I'm like, so I should just give up what I love because you have a problem with it... you, the person not actually in the pair of heels I'm wearing! Even my own mother and I have been fighting since I was 13 against me wearing heels and she has lost the battle every time.

You wear what makes YOU feel good. If I wore clothing to please everyone else in my life, getting dressed would be such a long drawn out process. And let the record show, if you are 5'1 and wearing high heels, you're still short, just as I am still tall in flats. It is what it is!

If I’m 5’1 and I got on some darn platforms, I’m gonna feel pretty y’all lol.

[UnknownGagsUser]

I like heels i’m only 5’3 though but i can't walk in them they always hurt my feet 😒

[smølf]

Heels look classy but if she is very tall she will be better off not wearing heels nonetheless.

[AlphaStyles]

If u tall I dont see the need for heals unless you wanna compete with Goliath

[Pink2000]

Lol.

[AlphaStyles]

Yep lolz

[AlphaStyles]

Thanks for the MHO

Im 6'4 in stilettos... honestly its hit or miss. Sometimes your the jolly green giant in the room, other times you're put up in the ranks with high fashion models if the outfit flows well.

I personally feel like a giraffe, but I get a lot of sexual compliments about my legs, ie "Id love to wrap those around my waist."

I walk pretty good in heels thanks to balance training in sports, but it feels... awkward to say the least. Your brain is literally confused as to why you just raised it into the ozone layer by putting those pumps on...

Tall women can wear heels
Short women can wear heels

And if anyone has any problem with it, they can fuck themselves.

But yes, wearing too high heels and for too long can potentially cause harm so better safe than sorry! I personally wear heels only for special occasions and recommend others to not wear them any more than that.

[Astoriana]

You are usually okay if you vary the height of the heels.

[CubsterShura]

@Astoriana never knew that before!

[KenM9215]

sure why not? If it is something they enjoy and feel ups their style then go for it! short or tall, your height shouldn't dictate what you can and cannot or should not wear. you do you and be happy and don't care what others think!

I feel like in our society we place a weird standard on height for both men and women when it comes to attractiveness and the like.

[estoydorado1]

Sure lol. I doubt that there are heel police regulating how tall women can be.

I do have to say that I barely see the point as a short woman. They hurt my feet and leave me unbalanced for the most part. The only real pro is that they make my legs flex and look longer.

[Astoriana]

Yes, there is. Self-appointed of course. Look at the blue section.

[estoydorado1]

@Astoriana That's G@G (or the whole internet) in a nutshell. people dump all of their grievances here because they know they'd sound crazy if they tried to harass/micromanage people in the real world.

[estoydorado1]

My step mom is 5'11 and she rocks heels all the time. She gets compliments on her style all the time because she's very fashion conscious. I know plenty of women that are above average height, who wear heels, and still get tons of positive attention.

[Astoriana]

Oh man, I totally agree. There are some men who need to be taken down a peg or two. It’s not all about them.

[TacosRAwesome]

Well I'm tall for my location so I don't wear heels as I already tower over my friends (who wear heels) while I'm wearing friends. Now had I been adopted in a gang of super models, i might wear heels.

[spiderweirdo]

I look like the 'Statue of liberty' in heels. It doesn't look good on me, i opt for flats every time.

[DiegoO]

How tall are you?

[Genie23]

I'm 5'8 and I wear heels occasionally. I think it makes me look more classy and attractive. I got lots of compliments from guys and my guy finds it very attractive. So, yes I think tall women can and should wear heels if they want to 🙂

[SammyGurl]

I'm 5' 11", I get complements all the time when I'm wearing heels. I'm still not any taller than my husband with heels so it doesn't matter! It's not about the added height it's about making a woman's legs look nice.

[PhilosophicalBull]

Sure, just be sure to wear a helmet for when you hit your head on doorways.

[Kuraj]

I don't care for heels and dislike tall women.
I mean you can wear them, but it wouldn't impress me in particular.

[girlinthemirror]

how tall r u

[Kuraj]

@girlinthemirror I'm 5'9.

[ThisDudeHere]

The way I understand it, women wear heels for two reasons (and neither of those is "we just like them") - it accentuates their ass, and it helps them find a man who is not just taller than them, but noticeably taller.

[Astoriana]

Absolutely. Wear those damn heels. Live your life. Gwendoline Christie wears heels and she looks like a fucking badass.

[DaTruth01]

if you mean badass like a macho man then yes you're right

[Astoriana]

@DaTruth01 she looks very feminine so I guess what you’re saying is that you’re short and are easily intimidated. Bless.

[DaTruth01]

iam 6'2 and weigh 175 lbs with some muscles, and who decides if she's feminine? surely not you : a girl

[Astoriana]

@DaTruth01 you are very insecure, so I am by default the authority in these matters.

[DaTruth01]

I know your kind, you're the kind that have their head so far up their butt they have no idea how the world works , you're the kind of woman that walks into a beauty contest uninvited and calls herself the prettiest when you really look like bob the plumber, this is bigger than you , so stop being dumb.

[Astoriana]

@DaTruth01 and I know your kind: the kind who thinks that women aren’t people, but are in fact objects that exist for men’s pleasure.

[Pink2000]

@DaTruth01 you sound hurt man...

[CheerGirl38139]

I'm 5'9" and I wear heels because shoes with heels are usually cuter

[Elliegirl]

Same height, same opinion.

[Numbers-of-EBOLI]

@CheerGirl38139
WOW. Great height. I'm 5'4". I love tall women who are confident enough to wear her 4 or 6 inch heels.

[jewel]

Anyone can and should wear what they want. If a tall woman feels confident in heels, she should rock it.

[Lovemycountryboy]

It ok don't worry about what other people think if they don't like it then they can get over with it.. .

[God_of_Thunder]

I don't think it matters.

If a woman wants to wear heels, she should wear heels. Height shouldn't make a difference.

[JenSCDC]

I'm 5'11" and I wear heels, although only moderately high.

[mattai787]

They obviously can..
But should they? depends on what they find comfortable.. who are we (men) to judge...

[Miruu]

Yep. I'm tiny af but tall woman with heels are more able to reach the stars

[DaTruth01]

the average height of a man is around 5'9-5'10, and men hate when a woman is taller than them , we find it to be not so feminine, so if you dont care at all about men or attracting them then wear heels.

[DaTruth01]

@Astoriana : mhmmm interesting analogy , you're smart but only got part of it right , is it a coincidince that i dont care much about women but they still make an effort to attract me? probably not.

[DaTruth01]

@Astoriana

[DaTruth01]

@Pink2000 maybe i am who knows
