Stilettos at kids events...is this a thing?

ah, YES!! esp for your area! That is just odd!! Ok..is she single? married? Wearing stiletto's to a baseball game, in MN..that just smacks of something...

I have to agree with this, with the caveat that I think it's an effort to be stylish, not garner attention, even though that would be the result in my conservative town. That being said, I'm out of the judging other women for what they wear business, because as a woman in my late 50s, I am damn well gonna wear what I want to wear, so I grant others the same courtesy.

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. I'm not judging, more of a bewilderment because it's just not something I see. I only see heels cracked out on the teen set for school
Dances otherwise pretty much never. Seattle area is pretty casual.

My nephew did a degree in environmental studies. He had us roaring with laughter when he told us that they had a day in the Peak District, studying the effect of drystone walls on the environment, with a session of building/ repairing a wall. They were told to dress appropriately for the weather (cold, dank, misty as a rule) and in particular, to have sturdy footwear.

One girl turned up in a micro mini skirt and 6" killer heels. No allowances were made for her.

She didn't do it again.

I wear heels a lot. Some of them could be termed stilettos. I have worn them to many different places... my children's sporting events included.

I do not give a good hot damn what you think about it.

I admit, the combination of short shorts and tall heels isn't something that is typically seen in my area-or at least the parts I hang out it in. 

It isn't the heels that are unusual, and goodness knows it isn't the short shorts, it is the combination of the two that might raise an eyebrow or two.

I wear heels, and Darwin attacked me one day. I was trying to walk and chew gum at the same time and fell down. Scrapped up knee, hurt my foot terribly and spilled my darn fresh, perfect ice Sonic Diet Coke. Not to mention scuffed and scraped up one of my favorite pair of shoes. It was a while before I could wear heels again (my little foot swelled up to the size of a cantaloupe.) I wear flip flops all the time-but I do love a nice looking heel. But I won't ever try to walk, chew gum and tote a perfect ice Sonic Diet Coke again. That was just one task too many. My foot hurt for sure, but I sure was pissed about that Diet Coke. 

Why would her marital status matter? Wearing heels to a baseball game doesn't "smack" of anything to me except she looks at a lot of outfits on Pinterest.

You can only wear heels if you're man hunting apparently.
I'd actually love to know what exactly it 'smacks' of 

I did once sprain my ankle wearing stilettos but it wasn't really the fault of the shoes it was more the fault of the copious amounts of Southern Comfort I'd drunk while wearing the shoes!!

Clearly she needed sole mates

I bought those for my wedding which was partially in grass and I was fine. In fact I wanted a photo on the rocks, so I scrambled down the rocks for a perfect wedding shot in 3 inch stiletto like heels even though I don't even climb on rocks in sneakers.

I just wore the same shoes out to dinner last night but we decided to feed the birds before we went in because our friends were stuck in traffic. I could have used those heel protectors when I was walking around near the rocks by the restaurant.

There is one mom at our school who no matter what she wears (usually jeans or short shorts, skirts, whatever) is wearing stilettos.  And I mean she has the most tallest stilettos made to man kind.  She is SUPER skinny, not sickly skinny type, but just skinny... I have NO idea how she walks on those puppies.. But for every single event I have seen her at she has those shoes on.  And it draws attention, just from her looks.. everyone turns to watch... and funny thing is I had no idea her kid was in my daughter's class until I showed up for an event and there she was.  Oh well... 

I think wearing heels anywhere is stupid. On a field is just downright asking for a broken ankle. So I'd be judging her for her complete lack of situational awareness. And then I'd be judging her (like I do everyone who wears heels) for destroying her feet and posture.

Then I'd just stop caring, though I'd probably be checking to see how miserable she's doing in her heels and short shorts. Cause there's no way that's even remotely comfortable.

And I'm okay with my being judgemental.

FOR YOU. No way it's comfortable FOR YOU. I teach with someone who's been teaching for almost 30 years. Choir, and she's on her feet all day long. She wears heels every day. EVERY day, even casual Friday. For her, they're comfortable. She has no problem with them at all.

For me, it'd be like torture. But, hell if I'd tell that woman that I want to check to see how miserable she is and hell if I'm going to judge her. She's an awesome teacher who is most comfortable in heels.

It's not up to me to tell another woman what to wear and where (or to judge them for it, especially when it's so innocuous). I think we have enough MEN doing that already. Let's not do it to each other.SaveSave

Well, looking at a lot of outfits on Pinterest wouldn't even cross my mind, or probably most people's minds that see her. That she is out trolling for men, that would. Esp dressed like that in MN.

This one's Betty Grable... from the 1940s.
