I LOVE the pink suede wedges. Wildly appropriate during October Breast Cancer Awareness and just so cute any other time of the year! Thanks for sharing this great info. Tres chic! Love Rem Side. Gentle Souls is now my fav and go to shoe source for comfortable and stylish shoes.
Oh my…. At 59 I am not ready to give up my 3 inch heels. But after reading this I just might. I would love to give those cute pink wedges a try. On the website, I like the Rupert Janes. Of the three above, I LOVE the pink wedgies, but would pick the tan slingbacks because I can always use a classic look for work. Maybe I was supposed to pick one pair but it was too hard! I have a pair of Gentle Souls. I like the Opportunity in nude, or the Rupert Fine in black.
It would be wonderful to find a pair of shoes that actually feels great! Pretty in pink. This shoe put the wedge in a class by itself. What a great feminine statement from the bottom up! I have flat, wide, size 9 feet. I would love to try the wedges.
Really like the pumps. I had not heard of this brand of shoes. Guess I have been in a cave for awhile! I would love a pair of the Oh When or Pod Appeal boots. They look stylish and should be super comfortable to wear.
Thanks for this opportunity! I took a look at the whole Gentle Souls collection on the website; Okey Dokey knocked me out. What a perfect shoe for Fall skirts and pants!
The Tip Tone great name! Barnesicles are very cute! Great way to add the hot fall color to date night jeans. I generally like a show that can be worn with a dress, skirt or pants and one that can be dressed up or down. The ones I named above defintely fit that bill.
Love to try a pair! The tan slingbacks have my eye. I really like the tan-colored pump. And I have a pair of Gentle Souls which I love dearly. Click here to cancel reply. Remember Me. Username or Email. Please follow and like us:. But, read this first. Plus, win a pair! Mary Jo says: May 16, at pm.

At the weekend I was walking around in heels and it happened that I stumbled a bit over a branch that was lying on the street.
But guess what? Reactions: 1 users. I'm nearly 5'11 and I still wear heels if I'm having a night out on the town. It's a great pick-up technique, it delivers your boobs right to eye-level guaranteeing at least a few drinks.

Click to expand Golden ice Super Star. Lolita said:. I can actually understand If I was boy, and the girl I was dating was taller than me, I wouldn't feel like ''the man'' anymore. Golden ice said:. I tend to agree. I also am not really attracted to men shorter or younger than me - I guess subconsciously it makes them seem less masculine to me.
Yes, and in the same line of thought, it makes us less 'feminine' and 'delicate' in a way.. If you are skinny, you can look delicate and it is better. ScorpioScorpio Rising Star. I'm 5'11" and wear inch heels more often than not to work. I enjoy being taller than my coworkers. I have an attention commanding presence, if I do say so myself. But you are correct in that there is some sort of societal norm where the man should be taller than the woman - which is absolutely ridiculous!
My year-old son is 6"3" and his girlfriend is 5'10" and she often comments how she's glad that Iain is taller than she is because being a tall girl, most guys are the same height or shorter - so I guess this silly ideal still exists even in the younger generation.
I wonder where it all started??? My husband and I are both equally short - I love our little hobbit family! That said I will proudly wear high heels a little over three inches is as high as I can go, then I will topple over! My East Indian friend male had a charming girlfriend. He brought her to meet the parents. The grandmother asked her and him to stand back to pack.
She was taller by 0. She asked them to break up. I didn't think height was such a big issue; I only dated one guy who was a similar height than me, but my dad liked the guys who were taller a lot more and commented that this was more appropriate. I'm 5'7" and have dated 5'7"; 6'0"; and 6'4" :p. I find that I always try to be shorter than my attending physician; which is sometimes very difficult when they're 5'5" at most.
They usually have "short man syndrome. I always had a thing about this too. I'm 5'7" and I wanted to marry a guy that would always be taller than me in my heels I wore 4" heels on my wedding day--but that was because I wore my mother's silk ball gown and without 4 hoopskirts underneath to pouf if out, I needed the heels to keep it from dragging on the floor--but I digress.
Most of this was because of my own poor self-image and wanting a man that would be bigger than me and make me feel "dainty".
I wanted him to be able to pick me up and carry me across the threshold too. Hubs is 6" so I'm safe, whew. So just like some short men want shorter women because of their hang ups, I wanted a taller man because of my own complex. I'd like to think it wouldn't bother me now, though! I'm 5'9" tall and my husband is 6' probably more like 5'11" these days. So, it doesn't take too much for me to be taller than him. I almost always wear heels when I go to church usually around 3", sometimes more , so I'm pretty tall then.
I probably wouldn't choose tall shoes if we were just going out to eat or the store or something like that. I always wanted to marry someone who was 6'5" lol. I agree, height doesn't make the man, and definitely wasn't the deciding factor obviously. As a child I just assumed that my future husband would be taller, since that's the norm.
As a teenager I hit my full height - 5'10" - at age 14 , even guys who were an inch or two taller than I am considered me "too tall". I heard that a few times secondhand. Don't get me started on how unattractive their lack of confidence was! While all those guys were ignoring me, I made a great friend with a guy who happened to be only 5'6". It was strictly platonic for 9 months, during which time we became best friends. Eventually we both started to feel more than friendly for each other, and now we've been incredibly happily married for 8 years.
Our height difference has never bothered us. I don't know if we never noticed it because we had already known each other for so long, or if we just knew that each other's personalities were perfect fits for us, but whatever the reason, it's never bothered us in the slightest. Personally, I find our height difference to be far less bizarre-looking than a tall man with a much shorter woman, which I see quite often.
For example, one of my brothers is 6'7" and his wife is 5'10". Another of my brothers is 6'2" and his girlfriend is 5'4". In my opinion, their 9" and 10" height differences look a lot stranger than my husband's and my 4"!
And if my being naturally 4 inches taller than my husband wasn't enough, he thinks it's HOT when I wear heels. That kind of confidence is a million times sexier than a guy who's 6 feet tall and insecure.
Pic is of us a few years ago at a friend's wedding. Since then, I started wearing higher heels [those are about 1"] and he's lost 20 lbs. I don't think we look strange at all! This post has 1 photo. Photos uploaded by this member are only visible to other logged in members.

Being 5'1" in my stocking feet, this has never been a personal issue, but I have several tall friends for whom it is. I have an interesting story about one of my very dear friends who NEVER wears heels higher than an inch or two.
This woman is an ex-model, heartbreakingly beautiful inside and out, with cascading blond hair and slender, shapely legs that go on and on and on. She would look stunning in high heels, but we've had long conversations about the hangup she has when it comes to height. She said she's always felt like a freak, and heels make it worse. She is 5'11", and her husband is 6'2". Last summer she and I were ogling shoes online together, and many times she said, "Sigh Point taken.
So I think the answer is probably somewhere along these lines: for exceptionally tall women, wearing heels that make you taller than your husband is psychologically uncomfortable. For mid-height women, it's likely less of an issue. Love is blind. Everyone's got a right to fall in love with whomever they fall in love with, and height doesn't matter any more than race, sex or religion.
And everyone woman has a right to wear towering heels if she so desires, regardless if it makes her exceed her husband's height by several inches -- or to NOT do so if it makes her uncomfortable. If I were 5'6" like you, Sona, I would probably get a little kick out of wearing shoes that made me taller than my husband who is also about 5'8", or maybe slightly taller.
I like to push boundaries sometimes. Kimana, that's a great story! I agree, nothing is hotter than that kind of confidence! You two are adorable.
What Claire said really resonanted with me His height makes me feel dainty. Sad but true! Sona, I have had this feeling, too, although I'm more like Claire and just wanted to feel dainty. I know I am not very tall, but I was very muscular when I was younger and didn't want to feel like She-Hulk next to a date.
It may be weird, but I actually get what elisabeth's friend is saying: she's already 5'11"--why would she want to be any taller? I guess I just don't get why really tall women want to look even taller, no matter how pretty the shoe itself may be. Angie has no qualms about saying that short women if they want to look their best should not wear flats with skirts, for example--if that gets to be a fashion "rule", I would hope there would be some similar recommendation to keep really tall women from towering over everyone else in four-inch spike heels.
The height and husband discrepancy was never an issue with me hubs is 5'5", but I'm 5'3" and not into heels. I have, however, heard many other women talk about this, and am somewhat astounded--for example, once in a while for fun I used to browse through craigslist dating posts that women put up. There were so many women who only wanted to date men over a certain height like 6'2" or similar so that they could wear heels.
