@bluestriped bee: peep toes are a BAD high heel to start with if you're not used to them. I always get blisters from those too. Start with a high quality 3" pump to get used to it. My favorites are from Max Studio, Steve Madden and Ann Taylor. They are pretty comfortable and I can wear them for 6-8 hours before my feet ache.

I used to wear heels everywhere, or several time a week - until I got pregnant. I had so many back issues I never wore them during pregnancy except for my maternity photos.
I haven't worn them since I've had my LO because I'm always carrying the carseat and diaper bag. But once DH and I go on a date I for sure will!

I used to wear heels all the the time even though I was never completely comfortable walking in them. Now, not so much anymore.

Nowadays only a couple of times a year for special family events like weddings. Maybe you can try some cute wedges? Something like this http://www.6pm.com/product/7811326/color/24132 and there are all sorts of other color and style options. I love wedges and can go all day without any blisters or aching.

A few times a month. For special occasions/ fancy date nights/ girls nights.

A couple of times a week!

At least a couple of times a month. High heels used to scare the bejeesus out of me, but I found that looking for well-structured, well-fitting heels can actually be more comfortable than a lot of flats! Like Mslipgloss, I have pretty high arches so that may be it.

@bluestriped bee: If you're getting blisters, there's something you can get from any drugstore that looks like a small thing of deodorant...Rub Relief Stick is one of them, in the foot care section. Moleskin also helps for random spots that rub!

Id say about 2-3 times a year. DH loves it when I wear heels but we dont go too many places that would be suitable for heels.

Any good suggestions on high quality heels? I would love to start wearing them more often! I wear a 2" heel probably twice a week, but to me that really doesn't count. I would love to weat a 3" heel, but they have always really hurt me in the past!

I love heels but they don't love me any more. I am really into the Cole Haan shoes with Nike Air Technology. They're pricy, but I'd rather one good pair than 5 cheap pairs that hurt my feet.

During pregnancy, never. I wear flats or sneakers or flip flops. But when I'm not pregnant, I'll wear heels 2-3 times a week for work.

Next to never, I only have a few pairs. I'm so short I could use them, but heels aren't very accepted in my line of work- so I live in Dansko clogs.

This is super dorky, but you can break in a pair of heels by wearing thick socks while wearing them around the home like @sprite described! It keeps the chafing at bay while the material softens up.

some other tips...carry band aids with you in your purse and as soon as you feel some rubbing in one spot, put the band aid on it immediately BEFORE the blister forms.

@spaniellove: this totally works. i do it all the time!

I love heels but I can't wear them anymore since I developed chronic lower back pain 6 years ago. Cork wedges are comfortable though, so I can wear them once every few months. Otherwise, I live in flats, flip flops, and sneakers.

3 or 4 times a week? More if I have date night with the hubby.
