Heels?

I've never been able to wear heels. They've always caused me so much pain and I'm terrified of rolling my ankles. That crap hurts, man.

Was anyone better off wearing heals after weight loss? I weigh 343 pounds and am 5'11".

:P

The first time I lost weight I started wearing heels, they were more comfortable and I didn't feel like I was going to fall, not something I could do at all when I was at my heaviest. I still wear them even after gaining 50 lbs back probably because I am used to wearing them now. I do have a comfortable heel height of 3.5 inches, anything above that is too high for me.

I wore them before I lost (I am 5'10" and was not much different than you in weight). But I hade to go no higher than 3 1/2" and yet couldn't be too low (kitten heels were worse and made me feel very unstable!) I cannot wait for the opportunity to wear these soon. (I had a stress fracture in my right heel for the past 6 months so I haven't been allowed to wear heels for that reason.) I did wear some 4" wedges the other day and did feel much more comfortable than I have before. In fact, I wore them all day at work without ever having to slip them off under my desk. Of course, I don't walk much for my job so maybe that makes a difference. I am looking forward to buying high heel boots without wide calf for this winter!

It's definitely different after you lose the weight! I can definitely tell the difference it was hard for me before the weight loss much better now :) good luck!

i would love to know too if weight loss helps i can't walk in heels it's waaay to painful on the balls of my feet kill i don't know if it's the excess weight or if i just need to hand in my lady card :)
