Heel height

Hi Nora!  The best heel size would be the  size that keeps you balance and not over tall in height. Try to look on the internet and see what really height the actresses were in height and add about 3 inches. The dominatrixes are not as tall in the height in long leg/heels as well as balance and swing long whips.

Bridget Neilson the actress was 6 ft to 6' 2" and lag for kinky boots........Eddie Murphy in Belair Cop 2.

My self, (In heels/kinky boots goes 6' 3" !  A really tall  woman! And thin and leggy)

Hi Nora Lee!

I answered "Anything Crazy." I'm six feet tall myself, and I have a few pairs of 5-inch stilettos. I long to wear them out, but in my visits to the outside world so far I have only worn my one pair of kitten heels -- about 2 1/2-inches. It's not that I don't want people to look at me -- I do! And IMO the sky-high stilettos are the ultimate expression of "sexy crossdresser babe." But those shoes are really hard to walk in, and if people are going to be staring, I'd rather not be lying on the ground when they do!

I think it's OK to be tall. I don't see many women over six foot, but when I do I find them as attractive as any other women. So I'd go for "Anything Crazy" -- as long as you can walk!

Hi Nora,

In jeans, I would think a nice pair of sandals with kitten heels would look wonderful. If you are in a skirt with hose, 3 inch heels are as high as I would go in order not to stand out too much.

I can tell you that I'm 6 feet tall in stocking feet, and have gotten complements from both girls and men when I've worn a short skirt and 3 inch heels.....of course, that was in San Francisco, so "mileage may vary" depending on where you are.

Hi Nora....I am 5'8" so you have 3" of height on me.  I voted for 3" as I think that strictly from a height standpoint, you would blend in with the crowd in 3" heels if you were milling about some social event (not Halloween).  I do think that comfort and balance come into play but I assume you have already determined that the range of heights are ok for you.  Now, I say forget the whole height aspect if you are in your Catwoman outfit at a Halloween/costume party....for that, who cares?...I say go with as high of heels as you are comfortable wearing.  Afterall, if I were dressed as Catwoman for a party, I would love to have on the highest heels that I could as the heels make the Catwoman outfit look all the better.  Have fun sweetie!!!!

If you look at the subject only from the view of blending into the crowd, l would say it depends on where you live in the world. In South East Asia you would be tall wearing flats while in Sweden where I live,  6 feet tall women are pretty common, especially among the younger generations. I am 5'9" and usually wear 2-3 inch heels out of comfort without feeling remarkably tall.

Hi Nora !

I'm voting for stilts. If they stare it says a lot about them doesn't it ?

I'm a hair under 6 foot and I love my 2" booties but I haven't been in public yet so who am I to judge ? Comfort vs walkability?  Exactly how upset will you be if they stare ? Do you need to "pass" to be comfortable or is acceptable good enough for you ? Whatever you decide I hope you have fun and enjoy yourself.

Hugs

Hi Nora.

I am 6' and love my 3" heels. Yes I  stand out in the crowd but I  do love the feeling of wearing heels.

My first couple of times out I was worried but now I just ignore the looks and enjoy myself.

Just be positive and own who you are and you will blend in.

I'm 6ft 4in; already tall , so I wear flats.   I look OK, so I don't mind.  When I go out dressed I usually do a lot of walking sometimes on uneven ground so flats are best for me anyway 🙂

Any girl over 6' will tower over other women. and many men; so will draw attention simply by being. Still, if the wardrobe demands heels, you could go with 2"...and as a bonus, they're easier to walk on than the others.

Whatever makes you happy.  You can't control who stares, what they think etc...so just be you. If heels make you happy, go for it. You can try sexy colored gym shoes, flats etc... Once you experiment enough, you'll figure it all out.  Good luck and peace in your shoe quest.

If you wear a cat woman suit with 5" heels you're definitely going to attract attention. I'm 5' 10 so I like around a 3" heel and I have long legs so I really like jeans, high waisted they seem to proportioalize me better than hip huggers. As for skirts, just above the knee and I might go a bit higher on the heel with a stiletto style to look fancy and dressed up. I also factor in who I'm going to be with. My one friends very tall so I can get away with higher heels when I'm with him.

Since shoes are pretty much the icing on the cake I personally believe the feet deserve the best. As I was reading this article I noticed someone said it perfect and that's to go with what makes you happy and what makes you feel good. I'm 5'7" and I wear 6" 7" and even 8" heels practically everyday. People do look and stare but who cares that I stand out? I do, I care because I want to stand out in the crowd and be noticed. This stuff takes allot time, energy and money to not want be noticed. "Remember, Ru Paul is 6'4" and she don't wear very low heels very often, so when she puts on a pair of her 5 , 6, 7" stiletto heels that puts her over 7' - 7.5 tall and she do stand out in the crowd. No matter where she is she is labeled the most fascinating an beautiful gurl in the crowd. So I say wear what you want and what makes you feel good and anyone that don't like it can start buying your shoes!

I'm 6'4", and 3 inch heels are most comfortable.

What's the deal with blending in when you can be outstanding!

Love Laura

Personally, I like 2" heels but that is more from a practical viewpoint. I am 6' 3" tall and anything higher than a 2" heel would put the top of my head in the ceiling fans in my house and I don't want to be opened up like a boiled egg!
