To Wear Heels or Not?
Heels or flats? This is the question most tall women dread. Some tall women refuse to wear high heels while others refuse to wear a heel that is higher than 2-inches. What is the excuse for this fashion indiscretion? Well, some common complaints include: "I can’t walk in them!" or "They hurt my feet."
If either of those excuses describe your predicament, avoid wearing heels. We wouldn’t want you to hurt your ankle or kill yourself for fashion. However, the excuse I've heard from the majority of tall women is "I'm too tall." This timidity, or the desire to protect the fragile egos of others, should not keep you from wearing fantastic shoes.
Heels don't just add height, they complete a look. Heels make your legs look longer and leaner while making your behind appear more firm. Heels are stylish and fun, and can make just about any outfit look fabulous. Take it from a 6’3” woman who owns plenty of three and four inch shoes (and one more bought today, see above image)- heels are your friend. I base my decision about whether or not to wear heels on what looks best with my outfit, where I am going, what I will be doing, and how I am getting there (since I can’t run in certain heels). What anyone else thinks about my height just isn't a concern!
