I’m 5’1" and always wear heels. But it looks like I’m trying to look taller. If I were you, I’d be wearing heels 24/7. They make your legs look great and there’s plenty of men who are going to appreciate how awesome you look. Get the boots!
I’m 6’5". I dated a woman who was 5’11" for a while. I think half the reason she went out with me was so she could wear heels. It didn’t last (for other reasons), but while it did, it was delightful to walk at the same speed, have conversations without me having to lean way over, etc.
If you like 'em, go for it.
Go for it, ouisey. Walk tall and be proud!
Oh, I wish I was tall…
Im 5’10 and ALL legs. Not only do I suffer from the ‘tall shoes’ problem. I suffer from the inability to find cute pants that are long enough for me. Then there is the problem of skirts- because of the long legs, short skirts tend to make me look like a tramp.
Well, ive slowly but surely began beating the issue. It just isnt fair- and I just dont care anymore!! Ive actually stopped caring about wearing pants and gone full force into wearing skirts (short or long) as much as possible- I live in San Diego so weather permits. It took awhile but I finally started accepting the compliments and adorations of my long legs and stopped hiding them with pants that arent long enough…
The shoe problem, however, continues to plague me. First of all, im a Leo and I like attention. However, I hate getting that attention for being tall. I buy thick platform shoes and high heels all the time because I love them- but I never wear them, they just sit in my closet. For instance, I bought a pair of white patent leather go go boots in Las Vegas- they’re so so hot- but when I wear them im about 6’2 or so. Whenever I do wear them I cant even hold a conversation with anyone- all anyone wants to talk about is how tall I am- men, women, whatever. Constantly people run up and say something stupid like , **“WOW!! Your tall!!” ** with freaked out suprised look on their face. **YES!!! I KNOW IM TALL!!! THANKS ** **FOR TELLING ME!!! **
All im saying is that it is PLENTY normal to be discouraged or self consious about wearing tall shoes. But you know what my tall sisters: SCREW IT!! I am done caring. Im throwing by flip flop sandals out! Buy those boots!!! Strut in style!
I went ahead and bought them. Next step is going to be actually wearing them, but I’ve vowed to take them out as soon as I get them and run around on the sidewalk for a bit, so I can’t return them.
Snooooopy, I don’t have that picture, but here are the boots wearing nothing. My god, those buckles…
Those are pretty great boots.
And, as a 5’9" woman, currently wearing two-inch heels and married to a 5’10" man, I say:
Go for it ! Wear them, stand tall, they’ll look awesome !
Another 5’10’’ female, chiming in to say I’ve been following this thread and I’m glad you bought them. It took me the longest time to feel comfortable wearing heels, it was difficult for me not to take the negative comments personally. They’re so much fun though, once I started, I bought nothing else but heels for awhile. Love the boots and here’s to hoping you’re currently out showing them off.
(though most of the population is under 6’2") it’s a common misconception that 6’2" is tall: it’s not, anyone at this height below falls into the ‘shortass’ catergory in standard taxonomy. Simalirly only people who are 6’4" or above can be considered tall, infact they should be considered (by the standard taxonomy) as ‘freaks’.
As a 6’ 7" male, I’m glad you bought those boots.
Wear them with pride and be glad you’re one of the chosen few to be tall.
And if a short person asks you if you play basketball, simply lean down and say:
Why, no I don’t. Do you play miniature golf?
They’re not my sort of style, but they’re neat. Have fun!
Just don’t go around asking short people “How’s the weather down there?” It’s not funny and it’s not original. 
WONDERFUL!!! I cant wait to say that!! God, I hate when people ask me that!
I was at a convenience store the other day and the clerk looked at me, smiled and said, “Volleyball and Basketball.” I dont think i even smiled back, I just said, “Neither- im just tall.”
Okay, as a fellow tall woman (6’1 in stocking feet) good on you for buying them! They look gorgeous!
I actually want a pair something like that but I am going to have to find lace up ones (I guess I’ll have to hit the local ‘specialty’ leather shop when I have some spare money heh) because my calves are too big for most of the ones I look at AND I have high arches. So laces make a better fit for me. Drives me nuts trying to find a pair that I like and will fit.
Oh, and Rico. I’m going to remember that for another time. I DESPISE basketball and am only passably good at volleyball.
As a former Wardrobe Master let me tell you rule number 1 of costumery: If you can’t hide it, make it a feature.
You are 5’10". In these boots you are 6’2". Wear tight clothes that emphasise your height. Maybe a hat or upwardly mobile hairdo. Accentuate the power goddess within you. Be aware that every man (and most of the women, too) are staring at you. Revel in you stunning magnificence. Strut. They all want you. They want to BE you. They can’t have you. A small, knowing smile is acceptable.
When you get your SO home, drag him to the bedroom, throw him onto the bed and have your way with him.
You are queen.
I’m 6’1" and have dated men from 5’6" to 6’4" and wore heels whenever I felt like it. At 5’6", he liked where he ended up when I wore heels and usually suggested dancing
I would recommend for any tall women getting chunkier heels at first, because of our longer gait, wearing spikes takes some “education” as they’ll slip out from under you unless you take smaller steps or learn to balance on the ball of your foot and not the heel.
Last time a guy said to me “gosh you’re tall…did you play basketball?” in a bar (so the setting was appropriate). I responded “No, I dated the short geeks on the debate team who had breast fetishes” and walked away to him sputtering his drink on the bar.
Some comic (I forget who, but obviously someone tall) had a pretty nasty variation on this:
Short Guy: “How’s the weather up there?”
Tall Guy: (spits several times) “It’s raining!”
I like it.
