I love shoes. I think each one of us is an Imelda Marcos inside. But which one do you prefer more, Flat shoes or High-heeled shoes? I choose the flat shoes because I am not used to wearing high-heels, unless I am required, like in a party perhaps. Flats are more comfortable because you don't have to worry tripping over and injuring your ankle in short it is safer. You can use flats everyday. If your tall, you don't have to worry wearing flats. If your boyfriend is short you need to wear flats LOL (no offense meant, my BF is short also, but still taller than me). Flats is also for pregnant women for safer purposes and not to put to much pressure in their legs. Now, what is your choice?

When I was a high school and college student I prefer to wear high heels shoes because most of my classmates use high heels shoes and high heels is good partner for our uniform but before I graduate in college I realize that my muscles on my legs become bigger than before because of the pressure on wearing high heels shoes so I just wear flat shoes now but it still depend on my attire.

I prefer flat shoes for myself while heel shoes on others. Its no doubt that heel shoes looks much prettier than the flat ones but to handle or cope up yourself with the heel is a big deal for me So, i prefer plain shoes.

yes i agree with you, that's why i also prefer to wear flat shoes...especially when i go out...its more comfortable and better for me...but somehow there are times that i also like high heeled shoes...depends on my mood and occasion... when i go to church, i always wear formal clothes and so i also wear shoes with heels, but not too high...2 inches will be the best for me, i can still walk comfortably with that...and i also feel sexier in heels! haha... and also when i am still working, i always use shoes with heels coz its more formal and more appropriate... flats are good for me when malling or just going out with friends... have a nice day!

Depending on the occasion and on the type of dress I am wearing. If it's formal, I prefer high-heeled shoes. If it's just casual, I usually wear flat shoes.

It's not neccessarily true that flats are safer for you. After all, i manage to fall more often in them than i do in heels. I actually prefer heels to flats though. I started wearing them at first because i'm so short, (barely met the fve foot mark), and still i was shorter than most of my friends. But after wearing them so much, being in flats or sneakers just feels strange.

I used to wear medium high heels when I was still single but it changed when I got pregnant. Just like everybody says, I found flats more comfortable to wear everyday. You don't have to worry about how will you look when you walk in the streets unlike when you are wearing high heels that you are more prone in tripping on the sidewalk. Until now I still wear flats wherever I go. Unfortunately, I feel like an outcast when I see someone who could wear high heels and could still walk gracefully on the road. It seems like high heels are more fashionable nowadays as it gives you more height, giving your confidence a boost. I don't know if I could still wear some of those but hope I can one of these days.

I also love shoes and have got to limit myself before my closet turns into the Imelda Marcos syndrome. But I love all sorts of shoes, boots, flats, slip ons, heels, everything under the sun.

Sneakers :o) I should wear heels though, eh? Because I am short...but they're just not my thing. I own one pair of heels and I LOVE them, just never wear em, hahhaa.

Flat... Because it's more comfortable and it will not cause you bone cancer.

I wear sneakers for everyday purposes, but if it's a party or a night-time occasion where sneakers aren't appropriate, I'll wear heels. Strangely enough, I'm not a big fan of ballet flats because I don't think they make your legs particularly nice...unless you've got killer legs (which most of us don't). I've been known to don a party dress with a pair of Converses though, so haha. I guess that's just my personal style.

Heels! I wear my pumps a lot, but that's cos if I go out, I'm walking a lot, and I get blisters easily. But that aside, I just love heels, they make your legs look really defined, and I find it really easy to walk in them, and dancing in heels is much more fun. You can only really get flats in different colours, or as flip flops, pumps or ballet slippers. With heels there's stilletos, platforms, block heels, thin heels, wedges, kitten heels, slingbacks, cutouts...I have lots of shoes! :p

I am tall and actually don't need high heels to boost my height. In fact, I eny all those women who use high heels all the time. It looks smarter and sexier. I cannot wear high heels because I cannot walk in them. In addition, my feet hurt a lot. I only wear them if I am attending formal social functions, to dress up a bit. Otherwise, it's flat shoes for me everyday. Very comfy. Suits me well because I have so much chores in the house, endless errands to do, always on the go.

I also love shoes, a lot. Letting me choose which of the two shoes, it would be hard because it all depends on the clothes you are wearing and on the occasion you are going to. It also depends on your mood if you want to wear high-heeled shoes or flat shoes. But, often, I would wear flat shoes because it is more comfortable to wear and you could even wear it anywhere, any day. So maybe, I could say that I choose the flats for a good reason.

Oh, I love shoes too! Those and handbags. I love to wear shoes with a little heel, I feel it makes me look a little taller and leaner. I'm looking forward to buying some new boots for the winter..hope I find some cute ones somewhere.

I hate shopping for shoes, In fact I don't like shopping for clothes period. I can never find any thing that I like and can afford. I have juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis and the padding on the ball of my foot has moved up under my toes. That makes shoe buying more difficult because I need a good sole. I haven't worn heels for years but like sandles but not flip flops. Beside heels can cause knee problems that can end in a need for knee surgery when you get older. from some of my friends that have had knee surgery it is painful and can have a long recovery.

I am a high heeled shoe, flip flop wearin, sandal stompin, fool. I love shoes and all kinds! I always thought that every woman loved shoes. I will buy them just to have them. I can't really discriminate because just as soon as I love a pair of heels, I see a sandal that is equally as cute and worth my attention.

High heeled shoes are definitely not for me. I've tried wearing them several times and i don't feel comfortable at all walking in them. I prefer not very flat shoes but moderately high ones because i can easily and comfortably walk in them.

I have to admit I am a bit Imeldific too when it comes to shoes. But i can't choose which I like more between flat and high-heeled. I am not that tall so I am used to wearing a lot of high-heels and it's super fine with me. High-heels actually gives me the feeling of being a true lady and being sophisticated. On the other hand, I love wearing flat shoes because they're very much comfortable and you can do anything you want when you're in them. They are also very casual and you can never go wrong when you wear them. :D
