I'm 23 and still haven't learnt to walk in heels. There I said it! I'm 5ft 2 (and a half..!) so think I'd benefit from them.
I'm looking at websites for shoes and have seen some pretty platforms but that might be a bit too much of a plunge for me.
any advice on heels to start out with?

Anyway the only time I ever wear heels is if I'm going to a place where I know I'm not going to be dancing or walking around alot, otherwise I wear flats or very small heels... I'd rather have comfy unhurting feet thank you very much!
i have about 2 pairs of heels.. one of which are my favourite. difficult to describe but green and peep toe. i bought them online as a 4 but they are too big for me. strange. i cant bear to chuck them out because they are too pretty. one day my feet will expaaaand
I have these in grey and they are very comfy and I usually struggle with high heels
Giant heels just make me trot and totter, but kitten heels throw my balance way off and confuse my brain! I need an amount of height to be able to walk 'the heels way' :yes:
my comfiest mid heels are from primark! both pairs
platforms are good, as there is more balance. but yeah, start with a mid heel and get comfortable with that first. really important to make sure they fit well too otherwise they will hurt and put you off.
that would be a bugger of a banana
thanks for the replies- if you see any more pretty shoes then post! i'm trying to be more shoe focussed
These are the ones I got. They are super comfy with a bit of platform in the body of the foot so it's comfy, and they're leather upper. I'm a sz11 so it's difficult to get shoes at times.
They're a 3 or 4in.

And I have chunkier heels for dancing. I want to get some heeled boots too ...
I agree entirely with this comment.
I've bought heels in the past and decided once I got home and wore them for a bit that they're not comfy. The best thing to do is to try them on in the shop and if you feel yourself stepping out of them then they're not for you.
I have a pair that are a bit like this: http://tailorstitch.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/bebe.jpg but probably not so high.
I find it difficult enough to totter about in heels without worrying about stepping out of them. Straps are the way to go! I also have a pair of knee high boots that are a bit like this: http://www.coutureinthecity.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/00440f.jpg but ones like this: http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/soda-lute-knee-high-boots are much easier to walk in.
I've always found kitten heels to be the easiest heels to walk in
