Being a tall woman who enjoys fashion can be a disappointing experience since there aren’t enough stores that offer longer pants/sleeves fits, and don’t even get me started on the sheer bravery it takes to sport a pair of heels (as if we didn’t get looked at or heard the “weather up there” jokes enough). Picking out a pair of heels can be a more complicated process if you’re vertically gifted. Simple looks aren’t enough; we need to account for comfortability and most importantly, the heel length.
1. Kitten Heels

Ladies passing the six-foot mark may prefer a more lowkey high heel such as these. Whether you go for plain, a peep-toe, D’Orsay, or a combination, they will give you the look you’re going for. These heels are usually below 3 inches so they don’t exaggerate your height while still giving you the sculpted look of an arched leg.
2. Cone Heels

These heels combine the delicate illusion of thin heels and the comfort of bulky heels. Their cone-shaped heels give you the support you need at the top while also thinning out at the bottom for a very specific kind of look.
3. Wedges

These bad boys are the staples of summertime! They not only give you the added sophistication of wearing high heels for an outfit but the material they are made of as well as the shape your feet are in while wearing them give you maximum comfort. Wedges can come in a platform style or as a flat sandal as well as a peep-toe, take your pick!
Tip: If you are new to wearing high heels, try a pair of wedges out first to get used to the added height!
4. Ankle Booties

These are the safest heels for taller women by far. They give you the sophistication of wearing heeled boots while also playing it safe with the height. They are so comfortable you can even wear them to work to spice up your look from 9-5!
5. Block Heels

These heels are hands down the best heels for tall women. The thickness of the heels offers much-needed support to keep you from stumbling, not to mention, they are extremely trendy! These heels come in all sizes, so try out a smaller block heel and work your way up!
Tips: Ankle straps are amazing for added support! Also, heels made out of cork add an amazing amount of comfort!
If you find yourself cringing at the thought of wearing high heels, try these pairs out before giving up on the idea! You might even find yourself feeling too confident to care what people think about your height…
