I don't think my husband would like them
anyways!

I, personally, am all about heels. I wear
them everyday. I mean heels to...4 inches
is the average.
But I don't think that even I could do
that!
Zan, did you get a pair of those to go
with your poll?

Even with 4" heels
I would break my neck. I can barely
handle 2" heals unless they are clog type
heals. I really don't need them as I am
5'10".

I wear high high heels too....being that I
am only 5'2'', that's my only hope of ever
being average height! I don't think I
would wear those though.....I don't really
fancy them!

Yeah, I'm 5'5'' on a good day. So I've
been wearing them for as long as I can
remember. My dh is 6'3'' so we look kinda
funny if I don't wear them. Plus, it is
really hard to find pants that are short
enought to wear without heels.

Alright. I need a pair of those. Of
course, I would probably kill myself. I am
a complete clutz as I can barely walk
without tripping in flats! I am 5'4 and
my hubby is 6'6. We sound the same mc.
Regular pants are too long and petite are
too short for me. I can't win!

Yup, and I'm to cheap to order them from
somewhere. I'm a clearance shopper.

I'm 5'4" and I looooove how long my pants
are. I'm one of those "wish I was 4'11"
people - I think being short is so cute! I
love the idea of being tiny. Weird, I
know.
am I the only person who gets cramps in
their calves while wearing heels?

nope heels kill me.
my calves cramp and I can't walk properly
either lol
I'm only 5'2" and I'm a strictly flats
girl (or trainers).
I used to love heels about 10 years ago
but haven't really worn them since I broke
my navicular bone falling off the tiniest
pait of platforms ever (they were about an
inch lmao)

bone is a key structural component in the
formation of the arch of the foot. When
this bone is in the proper position, the
arch is maintained. However, if this bone
moves out of position, towards the bottom
of the foot (plantar surface), then the
arch begins to sag and
disappear. |

where yours were only an inch...  )
