Hi everyone.

I got my shoes from amazon, they are sooooo beautiful, but with heels 5.11" they are my tallest heels and my calves really hurt when I'm wearing them unless I bend my knees and everybody in here knows that bent knees when walking in heels looks awful.

How can I overcome the pain?

I agree with the others, practise! Having said that, I know my limits and I now stick to 3.5" - 4" heels, or less, in which I can walk comfortably.

Good luck and be careful!

Hi Allie I have mostly shoes with a heel hight of 3,5" and 4" like you but these glossy red mules just called my name and both my wife and I loves them for their beauty. Guess I just have to practise a lot 😆

  1. Funnily enough, it was a pair of red 4.5 stilettos that I Had to have. Tried them on, realised that I was putting myself, and the furniture, in grave danger and sent them back. 🙄

@alexina Funny, I have a pair of 6" black stelleto boots. I always felt that I was going to fall foward walking around in them. I'm comfortable in 3 and 4" block heals. Walking slower,knees closer together landing heel first. I'm so glad you and your furniture are safe! P.S. I also 6" I'm stocking feet I don't need the extra hight. As a dear friend told me wearing heels made her feel sexy. 🫠

@clarissa2 Obviously practice in small doses will help you overcome the pain.   Once your muscles change to adapt to the heel height, you will feel better.   I really don't mind this type of pain since it is part of my calves becoming more feminine and helping to enhance my feminine appearance.  I do leg lifts at the gym to help the process along too.

@clarissa2 practice and exercise to strengthen calf muscles without adding bulk to them. Trying walking barefoot on just your forefoot so with an "invisible" heel just round the house for short periods of time.

Practice, practice, practice. Like picking up a new sport.

1) Start with lower heels

2) Get into daily foot and calf exercises to build up those muscles

3) Stretch well, push yourself, but don't overstrain and get injured

4) Patience, it will take time, you'll get there

I was actually thinking how I hate exercise classes and was wondering if a fitness class while wearing high heels exists where I live... that would motivate me.

@lea-jhene Hi Lea, I'm already able to drive my car and walks very well, even better than many woman in heels, its just that these shoes are 1,1"inch taller than my other shoes and has a 5,5 mm wide heel, scary to walk in.

Lea is right…practice, practice and more practice.  I am very comfortable  in heels up to 5 inches, I have been wearing them for years, walking in them is no problem, they help shape my legs and help give a ‘natural’ sway to my gait.  I have tried higher heels but they were too high, so I had to give up on those, but in fact not many women wear heels higher than 5 inches, so I did not mind.

so enjoy the practice in the heels.

hugs

Christine

Wow, I love heels too (heels are what got me into crossdressing!)  but I keep the height to less than 3 inches.  My advice would be to practice - a lot - and be careful.  

Jave fun wearing your heels.....   Staci...

Practice makes a master, Clarissa. I continue practicing and I only take the smaller ones to my activities outside my home (until now outside my country) and I practice on the larger ones. But regardless of the height of the heels, I can only wear them for an hour or two before my big toes bother me. So I usually wear flats or heels that are less than an inch. My biggest problem is that since my women's size is 13W, but for comfort I am wearing women's size 14W, I find it difficult to find shoes even online.

Hi Gisela, have you search the web shop Zalando ? I have found a lot of my shoes there and I use the same size as you. They have very reasonable pricing.

@clarissa2 Thanks for the tip, Clarissa. I'll take a look at Zalando. A sixth pair of shoes won't do any damage to my wardrobe. I'll let you know.

I adore the feel and look of walking in heels and mostly wear 3 to 4 inch heels when out dressed. The appearance and gait with hips swaying is a wonderful feeling once you get the stride down. As said Clarissa start with block heels or 2 inch and practice about the house for an hour each day and soon you find it them natural for walking and enjoying the experience so much

I agree with all responses.  Practice, and start with lower heels and work you way up.  I notice the difference going from a 2.5" to a 4" heel.  Calves and feet get way more tired and sore.

Yes, it's the P word from me, too! It takes time, but once the muscle memory kicks in it becomes so much easier.

This reminds me of my own very first pair of heels, which I bought at a charity shop when I was around 14. When I put them on and tried to stand up, my ankles got very confused. I pitched forward and landed in a heap on the floor.

Thank you all for the advice, guess I have to practice Smile Laugh  

I have to vaccum a lot and support myself with the tube until I can walk with confidence in these gorgeous shoes

@clarissa2 That sounds like a good plan, I need to do more house work in heels. Not that I  need the practice after 30  years, but I do enjoy myself when I am in heels, the taller the better, to a point I top out at about 5 inches.

Hey girls, inexperienced as I am, 3" heels are my absolute limit. At my recent makeover I wore 2" silver strappy sandals and I loved them. So comfy but still sexy. The one thing I really can't understand is how any of you girls can drive in heels xx.

@chrisfp99 Driving in heels is such a girly feeling. I do love it. I have driven both automatic and standards in heels. The standards were always passenger cars never tried my standard pickup trucks.

@chrisfp99   Hi Chrissie,  I go out often and can drive stick and automatic with my heels but usually don't.  I carry a set of flats or sneakers in my car or bag to do my driving and then slip the heels on when I get to the event.  I learned that from other girls who said that it's just easier.  Safe Journey,  Marg

Shoes are my obsession.  I think I have more high heels than my SO.  She doesn’t know thought.  Getting better at walking in them.
