Tall lady and wedge sandals

I'm 6' tall. I don't wear heels more than an inch or two anymore due to injuries and joint issues (my left ankle cannot be relied on to keep me upright and balanced, I'm working on it) but when I did wear heels, I wore what I wanted and enjoyed towering over the masses like a goddess. It's also a great way to weed out the short scrotes who will project their own insecurities about it onto you.

Wear what you want and own it. Nobody has the right to make you feel awkward unless you let them.

I am not a tall person, but I think a woman should never shrink herself in terms of height to please/appease other people.

I guarantee anyone who meets you will notice you're tall no matter how you try to downplay it. Have fun with your height. And if any man has a problem with it, he can piss off.

In some cultures, being a tall woman is considered a blessing.

Wear them. The additional height will ward off scrotes who pretend to be 6ft tall.

I’m 5’8 and always wear heels 😊 I don’t care what anyone thinks as I truly enjoy it. I do whatever makes me happy and whoever feels threatened by my height says a lot about them than about me.

Those shoes would make you my height-ish: 6'1

It's really comes down to your personal comfort level because you will tower over everyone. You could wear them and see how you feel.

I’m just shy of 6’ and I understand the discomfort. Personally when I date men my height or just a bit taller I usually stick to flat shoes, but when I’m going out with (much shorter) girlfriends I will wear whatever works with my outfit, often tall boots in the Canadian F/W season. For me wearing heels with confidence elevates the look 1000% and I’ll get mostly positive attention. That being said as you build up to that, maybe pick an occasion that’s a shorter event and/or strictly women to try wearing them first if you’re worried? Cute wedges would be perfect for a daytime/outdoor event.

I'm shorter than you, 5'6 and notice that most people are quite short. Even shorter than me. So I feel your pain. I wear flats most of the time. When I wear flats I'm still a little taller than most women, but not most men. But when I wear heels, I am taller than most men. It's crazy how short most men are actually. Like under 5'8. I don't notice till I wear heels.

5'9 wore heals all the time before. You get used to them. I found them useful as worked in a male dominated field and my heels put me closer to the mens heights 😊 Just do what makes you comfortable queen. If you feel the shoes wear you, rid of them into a few nice flatter ones that make you feel good!

I'm the same height as you and I love my wedges! In high school grad I towered over my teachers, university grad I was taller than the entire receiving line on stage. I am told I'm an intimidating person normally so the height probably doesn't help, but I take up the space I take up and if that's enough to put somebody off I've dodged a bullet. Being taller than everyone else is only awkward if somebody takes it into their head that that's unacceptable(?) for some reason and they decide to neg you for it. Like sorry I'm not about to make myself shorter for you!

It's a really easy vetting strategy to observe what innate qualities about you make a person pressed enough to project onto you. It immediately highlights where their idiosyncratic shortcomings (no pun intended but LOL) are.

But to answer your question, if I was taller,.I'd probably wear flats most of the time, but I would definitely rock the heels occasionally cause why the fuck not? Own your space. Own your height. Yeah it sucks. But honestly, 5'9 isn't so bad. I had a friend who was 6'1 and she would still wear heels. If she could find size 12s. Cis woman too lol
