    Im a tall girl, about 5 foot 8/9. I have this one pair of medium heels which have lasted me ages. They are from New Look (I think). Other than that, I wear flats. I hate it because my legs always feel slim in heels but I just hate looking like a giant :|

    I'm a tall person (not really that tall around 5 ft 8) and whenever I go shopping with my friends they all look at shoes with killer heels that look ammaaazing. But if i wear them I look like a right plonker because I tower over everyone. I don't like this feeling. All the shoes I own are flat and I hate it.

    Does anyone know of any shops that do gorgeous shoes but with a medium heel??

    I've looked and looked and can't find any.

    help please.
    dont buy killer heels. it only irritates the smaller people, like me.

    I'm about 5 foot 9 or 10, and I have the same problem. On a night out I will wear big heels if everyone else does, and if there is someone else tall with heels. Sometimes it's fun just to embrace the height really. Otherwise I just wear flats but I feel so boring when I do!

    As a 4 foot 10 midget, i feel quite irritated and embarassed if im standing next to someone thats 5 foot 4 or taller and wears killer heels. so just dont do it, you dont need them.
    be happy with your height, your lucky to be tall.

    I'm 5ft 7, I wear heels *shrugs*. They're probably about 2inches high, anything higher than that I couldn't walk in. Wear what you like!
    I'm actually starting to get into heels now. Before I was so insecure about looking like a giant. But when I see other tall girsl IN HEELS, I just think "Screw it. Might aswell show off my longish legs whilst I'm young."

    Arrange a night out with the tallest people you know and where masssive heels! You will probably realise after that night that heels hurt and its not worth it!

    Wear them anyway. It doesn't matter how tall you are. I wish I were tall - I'm only 5ft2. You shouldn't have to forfeit awesome heels just because you're tall.

    For goodness sake, stop being so silly people! I'm 5'9" and I wear killer heels. I feel great wearing them and everyone always comments on how great they look - they make me feel sexy and powerful and happy and I would absolutely REFUSE to wear flat shoes just because of my height. There is no reason why tall girls can't wear heels- you'll still be shorter than most guys anyway so what's the difference? Power to the tall people!

    So? If you wear heels it doesn't actually make you taller does it. They look sexy though. That's how I see it, anyway.

    Your moaning? Im 5 foot 9/10 dunno exactly so basically if u wear heels you're about as tall as I am naturally. I cant even think about wearing heels, but I love my height nevertheless.

    I'm 5ft 10 and I used to HATE wearing heels because, as some people on here have said, I hated "standing out" from everyone. But now I wear them with pride, I loveeee being tall. I don't wear killer heels though, because I can't actually walk in them, but a medium sized heel is fine
