I wear high heels only for special occasions for that very reason, Jilli.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
high heels hurt to walk in for more than 15 minutes for everyone
If you are a wuss, then I am one, too. I have a hard time finding comfortable heels.
I have a hard time finding shoes that fit period. Weird feet.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
do high heels hurt to walk in for more than 15 minutes for everyone
I can manage up to a 3" heel for several hours, including lots of walking, provided the heel is sturdy and the shoe itself has good insole support. juliana gave me a pair of boots with very thick, chunky 3" heels, and they're so beautifully made that I don't notice the heel at all until the end of the day when I take them off and suddenly everything around me is huge.
3" skinny heels or strappy sandallike shoes with no arch support, nope. 3 1/2" heels - ten minutes does me in, no matter how well-made and gentle the shoe is. I boggle at people like deb and Erin, who can wear high high spiky heels and move and be comfortable in them. It's magical.

At the shoe store today, I decided that two-inch heels were too high. I've never had heels that weren't agony, and I've pretty much given them up altogether. Today's purchase [link] is about as spiffy as I go these days. I'm so boring.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I can do high, but I can't do spiky at all. Also, a lot of your clunkier-type shoes have a thick sole, so that the hell isn't actually as high as it looks.

I'm 4'10". I can't wear heels higher than about 2".

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I am 5-3, but I never wear heels. I kinda think I should start, though. If for no other reason than, from time to time, I'd like to be taller than my students.

This is one reason I think I might like teaching the 5th and 6th graders this summer, rather than the 7th-10th graders I taught last summer. I'll be taller than more than two of them.

All depends on the heel (and how much is stacked in front), but I've definitely got 2-3" heels that I don't even notice are heels while I'm wearing them. I've got others that are less comfortable (but oh so cute), though only some of them are due to the heel--some are due to other bits of the shoe.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I can't walk in anything that is even a little bit a heel because of my braces, so I am stuck being my height.
This statement doesn't even parse in my 2-stepstools, plus a long-handled grabby thing in the kitchen world.
I totally need a long-handled grabby thing, because I can't really be trusted on stepstools and such. Where do you get one?
