How high do you go with your heels?9 comments

At 1.64cm I find myself constantly looking for sky-high heels. I like being shorter than my man, and thankfully my husband is over 6ft, so I can pull-off super high heels and still feel comfortable.  Besides, shorter chicks can get away with sky high heels without looking too “giraffe”. Think Victoria Beckham and Sarah Jessica Parker – two fashionistas, (and my ultimate fashion icons), that always have the fanciest footwear. I think if I owned a third of each ones’ shoe collection I’d be in high-heel-heaven.

I’ve always had a lust for Christian Louboutin heels – They are so sexy, so classy and so, so high.  My absolute favourites are the Pigalle pumps and I also love all the Louboutin concealed platforms.  Sadly, I cant afford R8000 shoes, even if it is for the most amazing scarlet stunners.  Thankfully though, I have found a pretty good substitute to satisfy my shoe and sky high heel fetish.  Aldo.

Aldo not only make super sexy shoes, but their shoes are trendy, stylish and finished off with great quality.  Their sky-high heels don’t look anything like cheap hooker heels, even the patent leather kind.  Last week, I was out and about and decided to check out their shoe range in store. I couldn’t resist buying a pair of super high, 13cm (about 5 inch) black leather concealed platforms, which I love to bits and I can even walk properly in them – how often does that happen?

My accelerated height got me thinking, how high would you go with your heels?

    The higher the better, sexier and much more fun. That and I am serously short, so it is for practical reasons that I need something that is high!

    I am almost six foot tall. Alas, heels are just not for me…

    I’m a bit off high heels at the moment but I used to wear 2-3″ heels nearly every day.

    I love my heels – the higher the better – cant get enough of a good 5 inch heel they are an answer from above especially for those who are vertically limited…

  5. My wife loves her heels, walks really well in up to 5inch heels, never checked any higher, but I am sure she will manage in higher. Most of her shoes are more than 4 inches.
    Great post!

    Am 1.8 and I cannot get enough of being the tall Godess at the office.
    Sadly, I have a soft spot for short men so I take the heels off for my dates… Though I must say that I am a totally different person in heels, confidence, HELLEW baby!

  7. I love Sky High heels, I also love the Louboutin concealed platforms, but they are very expensive! Aldo is also awesome, a cheaper, if not cheaper alternative. I’m shot and my hubby is taller so it works well. I love wearing my glass heels, it makes my legs look so shapely and my feet ultra sexy and i can dance the night away in them. although, the one time my heel got stuck inbetween the bricks at the paving in our office park and i fell flat on my butt! not funny!
