Time and Place For High Heels - All The Time!

I’m often asked, what is the best heel height to wear?

Well… 6” high heels all the time… but that’s just me.

So here goes:

For high heels that are 1” in height. Please. That is not a heel … it’s something stuck to your shoe.

Heels that have a 2” heel – good for visiting ultra orthodox religious functions, otherwise, not on your life.

In situations where you may have to end up walking a great distance, then 3” heels can be called upon to fulfill their role. Remember what they say on the show 6Teen – shoes made for walking are not that pretty.

Now 3" high heels will feel funny after wearing anything higher. In fact, they may even feel as if you are wearing flats. That is how dramatically flat they feel if you have been wearing the 6” heels for awhile.

Now to the 4” heels. Perfect for work, shopping, and slightly dignified functions. They’ll seem elegant and just a little daring. They’ll turn heads and admiring looks. The trick with 4 “ high heels is to have as many pumps and stilettos as possible, because it will become your 'go to' style – and they lend elegance to your look and will work with just about any outfit – including jeans.

Not only that, 4” heels have that daring allure to them. Just high enough to be above the ordinary but not yet into the stratosphere of being fetish like.

Speaking of fetish, we now turn to the 5” heel. This is the demarcation that begins the fetish footwear lifestyle. They can still be worn to work and out to social functions that lean to the conservative. If you wear stilettos or pumps at this heel height, well, most people can not tell the difference between 4” heels and those that are 5”. Many seem to think anything above a flat shoe is fetish.

Yet pumps and stilettos that are 4 inches high are still easy to wear and are not that hard to maintain balance. You can step ever so lightly done the street (even over the passed out drunks)and if a shoe sale is mentioned – you can even run to it.

On to 5” heels. Now we are in true fetish territory. And yet . . . to all but the most discerning eye, 5” heels do not look all that dissimilar from 4” heels. (I’ve read that 4 and half inch heels are almost impossible to walk in – why? – no idea – but if I have a choice between 4 and half and 5” heels . . . well it’s a no brainer)

If you plan to waitress all day . . . I wouldn’t recommend the 5” heels, although, I know of those (mainly dancers) who wear 5 and 6” heels for hours on end without sitting.

I believe a good sense of balance is the trait that all successful high heel wearers have. I think most who hate wearing heels are those who have some trouble with their balance. And that is the hidden reason they hate wearing heels - no balance.

Ahhh. . . the 6” heel. That heavenly heel . . . the true fetish heel. All shoes and boots that have a 6” heel which adorns it - is always gorgeous. You can never have enough of these babys … that’s what I’m saying.

Why? The heels are so tall. You need real skill and practice to wear these tools of fetish. They’re sexy and erotic. The ooze fetish. Yet they can still be worn out and about. In fact, I secretly like the fact 6” heels are worn in everyday situations.

Then there are ballet heels – a true fetish dream. These take real skill and loads and loads of practice to master. But once you have the knack of it – they can be a real kick to wear. As for wearing out in normal everyday places… well a person can dream.

So there you have it. A very brief look at when to where a high heel. Now as for boot…

Heelfully Yours
