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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
