This conversation is making me never, ever want to wear high heels.

Sorry Purple.. I'm just filling you all in on what I've learned through my foot and leg anatomy class...

It's all in my book, i'mnot making crap up.



And yes, my friend is around 35 now... She wore heels 5" and over almost every day... one day she went to the gym, changed out of her heels, put on sneakers, bent down to pick up something (this whole scenario caused her tendon to go from VERY extended ---> to almost not extended at all ----> and then back to EXTREMELY extended.. when she bent down)... she heard a pop... and the rest was just extreme pain...

the poor thing.

May I ask why you are doing this? Does it make you feel attractive?

It's probably good for me actually. After seeing what can happen to you...

I like how my feet and legs look in heels for sure

 

[Luna]

check my edit up there ^^^^^

The extreme change from being not extended at all(this happens while wearing your heels) to being hyper-extended (putting on sneakers and stretching) is what caused it.

Once your leg is that used to wearing those heels, it's almost impossible to go barefoot without feeling some sort of pain in your ankle area.

Why do you think it feels so great to just take the shoes off? ... if your leg is in some slight pain after you remove your heels and go barefoot, you know damage has occurred.

That's horrible! Pretty disgusting too!...

Yes, I wear heels, sometimes. But only up to 3 1/2" or maybe a 4" ... but I dont wear them every day of the week.

 

[Meg-ann]

Don't you just want to keep buying higher heels every time you go shopping? Thats how I ended up with 5 inch heels!

 

[dgie]

I wear 2-4 inch heels to work. Any more than 4 inches and I look like an idiot, hobbling around. I'm not too good at walking in heels higher than 4.

 

[Meg-ann]

For me I look like a goof in less than 4 inch heels

 

[Luna]

I usually don't go over four.. only because if I wore them, i'd be scared of getting the heel stuck in a subway grate and breaking my ankle... I'm always walking really fast, and in heels I can't do that.. I only wear heels when I have interviews or go out with friends..

Most of the heels i've tried on that are over 4" usually throw me off balance and tilt me forward.. I lose my sense of balance.. I dunno. I don't feel completely comfortable in them. though, they do make me look much more slim and they make my legs look great!...

 

[Meg-ann]

I think I'll try the sleeping in heels thing for one night and see how it goes

I just wanted to say that most of my shoes that have a 5 inch heel or higher are platforms so they are very comfortable and I don't sleep in heels....that's all
