OK, thanks.

I'm a wedges girl.

But I would like a pair of sexy heels.

BUT OMG MY FAVOURITE SHOES IN THE UNIVERSE ARE CONVERSE. :D

Someday I will own a pair of converse. Someday. I would've had a pair last year, but because they're so narrow I couldn't find a pair that fit. Normally I'm an 8-8 1/2 but with converses I have to go up a complete size just to get the width right.

I have a rather large heels / wedges collection that I whip out at every opportunity. Partly because I'm surrounded by giants: whatever was in the water clearly skipped me.

I'm actually quite comfortable with my height. I was born eight weeks early so that has an effect on it (I was a tiny baby), even though I have the tall gene. My brother is 6"1 and he's only fifteen!

6'1"s average height for the guys around here Lisa! Really doesn't help with the shortness issues lol: my last boyfriend was 6'6" (I think he's finally stopped growing now).

Wedges are essentially like the love child between thongs (or flip-flops for anyone not from Aus) and heels ;

Para, this is a wedge.

It's got the height of a heel, but all filled in so it's easier to walk in.

ETA: Rae, wedges aren't always sandals.

Thank you! My cluelessness about shoes is now a tiny bit less. :tongue

I CAN'T WAIT TO BE SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE TALLER THAN ME.

SO CAN'T WAIT.

I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE THE HULK, EVER SINCE MY BFF IN GRADE 2 WAS A TINY BALLERINA.

And you're welcome, Para.

I was the shortest person in the class in middle school. Now I think I'm closer to average. I'm 5'3". I have one cousin that's 5'4" and another cousin that's five years younger and a head taller.

Its sad really, I think 5'4" is average for women? (Or maybe 5'5"?) So all us 'shorties' are about average and yet people treat me at least, like I'm a dwarf or something.

I actually hate heels or wedges... I think they look terrible >_> It's just my personal taste though, and it seems I can't stand most feminine things... I hate skirts and skinny jeans, and I don't care whether they look good on me or not!
...The exception being corsets, I suppose.

ETA: I have no idea what all those shoe sizes you mentioned are, since apparently we use a different system here... I'm a size 41, and that means my feet are 25-26cm in length. It's apparently quite big, but it fits my height *shrug*

I hate being 5'7". I would give anything to be tiny. Like, I can't even verbalize how much I hate my body.

Corsets = win. Don't suppose any of you ladies have the same trouble I do finding things small enough for you?

Constantly >_> Either they're small enough, but too short or long enough, but too large. It's why I need a belt for most pants :/ The corset I have is the smallest we could find, but it's still a bit too wide for me(especially in the chest area...).
