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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
