I've always had trouble wearing heels (yes, I know they aren't great for your feet), but I've always been overweight to some extent...

I'm wondering who had trouble with heels at a high weight, but can wear them now that they have lost the weight?

I don't know if the problem is my weight, or my feet, or both, but I'd love to have some hope that I can occasionally wear heels once I'm at a healthy weight.

Thanks!!

I was a heel gal in my 20's. I could walk blocks with 4 inch & 5 heels. As my weight went up, my heels went down. 114lb down and I am back to wearing heels & wedges. I stay in the 2 -3 inch range due to arthritic knees, but I can wear them comfortably.

I COULD ABSOLUTELY NOT WEAR HEELS AT OVER 300 LBS. NOW I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ACTUAL HIGH HIGH HEELS OR STILETTOS HA, BUT I AM ABLE TO WEAR HEELS NOW AT 188. YOU'LL SURELY BE ABLE TO!

I've never been a high heel person.. I do think that my weight previously put me off them... now that I'm down a bit, I think I'm just too old to start wearing them - :( (I'm 46)

I love heels. However over the last few years I've developed significant hip pain. The hip pain always got worse when I wore heels for for short periods of time so I've stopped wearing them completely. I would like to be able to wear them again and am anxious to discover if I will be able to or not.

Wearing heels was one of my dream list items. I've lost 72 pounds, weigh 153, and I wear heels every day now! Walking may not be that easy in them but I can certainly fit in them and be comfortable. Good luck, it's great!

I wear 4-5 inch heels. I could do it when I was at 370, but I couldn't wear them as long, certainly couldn't last all day.

Now I can wear my heels all day/evening. My wedge sneakers are more comfortable. Everything is just less stress.

It doesn't matter what your weight is, if you can't get used to walking on the balls of your feet, heels are always going to hurt.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
