high heels

[kitchie]

No, I wear my killer shoes on parties but when I'm driving I have flat shoes that can put on so that it is easier for me to drive.

I don't mind if I'm wearing a heels but if its a long hour drive I'll just wear anything that's flat because I might have a cramp while driving.

As I am always in high heels (4"+) I have no trouble driving in them (short trips or long trips). I hate wearing flat shoes or trainers and do not even own a pair.

I found it hard the first few times I did it. Then I adapted. Its harder in BMW's but I do it ok now.

Hi Fiona,

This may interest you...In the UK, there is a private members association who offer luxury leather coats and jackets (thick and thin), for the specific use of women who drive in stiletto heels. The lined coats are not only super comfortable to rest your feet on but also protect the heel tips from snagging as they tend to do on cheap car mats. They offer a fitting service in certain parts of the UK and also a replacement service, if the coat mats get excessively worn or damaged. They are looking for women who drive a lot, to test these coat mats and for the moment, they provide them at no cost, all they request is frequent feedback during a trial period. If you want to try them just let me know.

Heels are my best friend! You never know who will be watching you get out of the car.. I have learnt to do pretty much everything in heels now, and as I never wear lower heels than 4" I am a confirmed pro! lol! Nothing better than a guy getting and eeyful of my pink nail varnished pinkies poking out of my peep toes as I swing a leg out of the car.. Very sexy! x

I drive alot every day, and wear very high heels. They are fine to drive in, but i find it wrecks the back of the right shoe, i just can't be bothered to change them to drive, and it gives me an excuse to buy more shoes.

You should get in touch with Heeled Angels ([email protected]), they have a club whose members voluntarily off personal high quality leather jackets and leather coats for stiletto heel driving women who like the idea of having luxury leather to sink their heels into when driving. They certainly protect the back of your heels and shoes and boots. Give them a try, there is no charge.

Sure, but you need to find the right driving position and avoid catching thin heels under the car mats!

You should email [email protected] who are a private club,whose members volunteer their own personal expensive quality leather coats, for use as office and car mats for stiletto heel wearing women. They make no charge and the coats protect your carpets and the back of your shoes and boots and it doesn't matter how much damage you do to them with your heels!! It sounds fantastic but it is a genuine offer and they apparantly receiving a lot of enquiries from women who like the idea. Best wishes, Rach

Hi everyone,
To return to the initial question, I have always driven in high heels, from just after passing my test. I don't drive long distances, and I have never felt unsafe driving in heels. I try not to wear my more expensive heels when driving as I find it wears the backs after a while.

do women feel comfortable driving in high heels

Yup no problem. Although for longer distances I don't use them as the heel tends to get scuffed up and I like my heels to look immaculate.

I always thought that it was illegal to drive in high heels, but apparently it isn't illegal, just a bit dangerous.
The reason why heels can be dangerous is because they prevent a driver from being able to steady their heel on the car’s floor. By having your heel on the car floor it makes it easy for you to move your foot from the accelerator to the brake, heels make it nearly impossible to do that. Heels can also get caught in the floor carpet or mat as you are going to brake which can distract you from driving and delay your reaction time. Flip flops are also dangerous as the pedals in your car can get caught between the sole of your foot which can give you less control of the vehicle. Flip flops also have a tendency to slip off whilst driving and slide under or in between the pedals; all these situations cause distractions and can reduce your vehicle control. But I guess as long as you drive safely and are aware it isn't completely safe, it shouldn't be a problem.

Hi mycargossip

These leather coat car mats provide a smooth surface which you can either slide your heels across or sink them in for grip, unlike the cheap rubber mats which are usually either ridged, or in sections which do snag your heels.

Not quite true. With high heels,the heel of my foot is still on the floor and my stiletto heel lies flat in front of it. The pedals are still controlled with the ball of the foot in the normal manner. Just have to move the seat back a bit. Never had a problem with a heel getting caught in a foot well carpet, although maybe its because I drive a quality clean new car without old raggedy mats.

Yes, Women feel comfortable in driving while wearing high heels also.
