3 inch heels...last time you wore a pair?

[LadyEmeraude]

I was 55 years old the last time I wore 3-inch heels, I am 69 years old now.
These are not really that high for back then. I really enjoyed them but had
to of course be selective for when and how long I wore them....an event, dinner
etc... something dress up, or for an occasion. *I could wear them now if I did not
have to walk at all lol. No longer suitable for my legs or feet and balance.

How about you ladies, did you like or dislike them, maybe still like wearing them...

Men, did you enjoy it when your lady wore/wears heels?

About 8 years ago, I was 54.

Not particularly, never got the point...

Do cowboy boots count? That's different...

It’s been some 50 years back in the Disco days of the 70’s ...
Remember these

In my late 60s.

I think heels are completely stupid. I’d rather see a chickie in Vans or hiking shoes any day.

My usual shoes are hikers or lace-up packers. But I'm not a chickie.....

I have never worn 3 " heels. Two was the highest and probably in high school.

 

[charry]

at my sons wedding 20yrs ago ....i had on a trouser suit , so had boots underneath with 2inch heels

 

[Pepper]

At least forty years ago........I actually preferred the platformed for comfort. Had great pairs of Huaraches and Espadrilles, they were comfortable and gave me needed height as I used to be 5'4". Need height more now at only five feet tall, but can no longer wear them.

About 20 years ago, when I went to my cousin's daughter's wedding. By the end of the night I was in such pain I wanted to crawl to my car on my hands and knees. Even after I got my shoes off, walking hurt really bad even on soft carpet. Luckily, the next day I was okay, but I never put on a pair of high heels again.

I last wore my 3 inch black suede stilettos 3 years ago this Christmas, we always used to go to a hotel for Christmas Day but, since covid arrived, we prefer to have Christmas at my home

Although I still dress for the occasion there’s no way I’m prancing round my own home in high heels !

 

[Right Now]

I wore a pair of heels almost every day to work in my 60s, and only a few times after I retired at 67. Keep in mind 3 inch heels are not the 6 or 7 inch stilettos....I never wore them, ever.

Now when I go out it is either in pumps or wedge heels. I am most comfortable in wedges, with that little lift for me.

 

[Wren]

The highest I ever wore were 6”, aged about 16 ...God knows how I managed to walk in them but the heels gradually got lower as the years rolled

 

[Pepper]

I liked chunky heels better than stilettos, no balance problems.

 

[caroln]

Back in my 20s and 30s I wore high heels to work every day. I worked in downtown Chicago and had to catch a bus to get to the train, and I had to RUN in my heels to get on the bus and then RUN through Union Station to catch the last train home. Wow, the things I used to do that I never gave a thought about...who knew how things would change!

 

[jujube]

Probably at one of sister's weddings. I wore heels to all of them, except for the one in the Himalayas. If I had been there, I would have been wearing hiking boots but not high-heeled ones.

Apparently required in the Ukrainian Army.

what are "packers"?

 

[oldaunt]

what are "packers"?

Kind of like a cowboy boot only lace-up instead of pull-on, usually with a round toe.

 

[NorthernLight]

My mid-50s. I tried to look nice for my boyfriend, but he was kind of mean to me.

I have a theory that the better I look, the worse treatment I get (from boyfriend/husband). So there isn't any point.

 

[Raddragn]

In my 20's. Wearing heels became agonizing when I put weight on my left foot. I later discovered I had a Morton's Neuroma between the fourth and fifth toe on that left foot.

Years ago I had a pair of White's Smoke Jumper packers, very stylish:
