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.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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?

Our wings are not tired.
I never think of you as that wee, Kristin.
I have to find my picture of Brendon with Hil and Kristin. They did look wee next to the big guy. Then again so does my 6'2" son.
I wore high heels long ago with ease. Now I can only deal with a couple inches. I'm trying to work my way back up again since my family is getting so much taller than me. Lately it seems all the long pants are for people much taller than my 5'5". Can't wear them without either hemming or heels.

OMG, yes. The only jeans I have found that aren't too long are from the boys' department. Useful, but not nearly so nice as my "My, doesn't my ass look nice" jeans. t kicks fashion industry

sj, try here.
Heels - I can do high and spiky but not high and platform, for some reason.
