<p>Kathleen, love those heeled oxfords. They are a good compromise. And Rayleen those sparrow sandals are amazing. Lots of good advice on here. I tend to try to only wear real heels when I need them for an occasion or really need to look fierce. I will say that I think getting the absolute best quality you can afford in heels makes them a lot more wearable, especially soft stretchable leathers.

They're wonderful with some dark jeans cuffed and a cute blouse knotted...I too have been working on sharpening up my image, but we are only human. Can't be sexy/beautiful when you're in pain. Unless you're a drag queen. They are made of tougher stuff than us I think. </p> Am glad to hear you're put…tag:www.pinupgirlstyle.com,2013-02-08:6504043:Comment:1831272013-02-08T05:20:03.161ZBillie J Lexiehttp://www.pinupgirlstyle.com/profile/BillieJLexie

<p>I agree with all the other gals. If you wear a full swing style skirt you wont see your calves and I usually wear flats (from Iron Fist) with mine and also with some cute capris. When I do wear heels and always keep my flats or my converse in the car just in case my feet start to hurt.</p>

<p>I too have joint issues.(Stoopid immune system, you suck) And as much as you don't like wedges, they are probably your best option. I've got a couple of pairs of heels and after 4 hours my feet hurt so bad. But I can go almost all day in a pair of wedges. With that said, if you still want heels invest in a good pair. Don't go to payless or target.(Although I've gotten wedges from target and been fine.) And you don't have to pay $200. Try zappos or I've gotten shoes from footsmart.com You…</p>

<p>Thank you ladies for your suggestions! I certainly don't intend to start wearing them daily right away (if ever), but at least a couple days a week. I also favor chunky heels with straps, especially Mary Janes. Even though I do some walking, I also do a lot of sitting down during the day. My biggest issue is usually just standing for long periods of time, which luckily I rarely do. I also have a hot tub with a nice jet at the bottom for my feet I imagine I'll make good use of ;) </p>

<p>you can still be pin up in a pair of sneaks...it's the style of the sneaks and the style around the sneaks that make it pin-up. don't get hung up on a narrow view of the style...remember the pants and shorts and halters and beach shoes too. i loves me a good snug dress and 6" stilettos, but i am a jeans and t kinda girl. advice for wearing heels: practice. find a pair you can't live without and practice: at home, walking to the car, getting the mail, grocery shopping...just practice. walk…</p>

<p>Hi Ann!</p>
<p>Have you though about maybe kitten heels? I too wouldn't recommend wearing the heels all day. I know you aren't a fan of wedges but they are alot more comfortable than heels. For my feet, I need a thicker heel and I don't go too high. Otherwise my back will start to hurt. Also maybe you could carry a change of shoes too when your feet or ankles start to bother you. </p>
<p>Hope this helps :)</p>
