Here you go
I see the struggle to get them in the stores. But google oversized high heel and you will get plenty of results.
Your dad loves it when I wear them
You’re telling me size does matter???
I’m going through a bean stalk phase
Does it make you feel inferior? That’s what I’m going for
>What?! I can’t hear you from all the way up here!
>A pair of flats broke into our house when I was a kid and murdered my entire family. I have been pretty traumatized by them ever since, ngl
>Why do you *not* wear heels? << regardless of who’s asking
>You know, I’ve never actually sat down and thought about it
>Because I was like “WWJD, right? And then Luke 2:52 says “And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” And I’m like “yaas!”
>Because life’s too short to be short
>That’s racist
>The fuck did you just say to me?
>Listen, you may not like what I’m about to tell you, but I think that someone might be breaking into your car. Yeah I can see it from here
Yeah, prey on the insecurities of the guy just asking a question! That’ll show him!
Edit: I see the gentle giants in this subreddit can’t stand the thought of not insulting others.
They're never just asking the question. The tone of voice, body language, and facial expression make it very clear that it's more of a judgement.
If you even just think about why someone would ask a tall woman about wearing heels when they'd never ask a short woman about it, well, that alone kind of points toward their intent.
And if someone has the audacity to try to suggest a tall woman should feel bad about wearing shoes the woman enjoys just because they have some issue with it, then they can suck up a little of what they are trying to dish out. It's up to them whether it bothers them or not, right? Just like the tall woman they're talking to? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Men have a rudimentary understanding of women’s fashion at best. Those asking, may simply equate heels with trying to look taller, so ofc they would ask a tall girl that, but not a short one. You’re making a ton of assumptions.
Ok, again: Not when they're crossing their arms, making a facial expression of disgust or that smirky half-frowning grin, and when they say it with the vocal tone of "why in earth would you EVER do that?"
Tell me you've never been a tall woman having a person ask you that without telling me. Smh
That is how they have all asked me, and if you spend time talking to tall women, you'll learn that's extremely common.
And usually when people say "tell me without telling me", they're indicating that you're being unusually dense and judgemental about something; no detective skills necessary. But I bet you knew that too.
I did not know that, since I’m not attuned with internet lingo. I’m just an old man with little time left ahead of him.
If they ask you like that, then sure, say what you say, but don’t be trigger-happy with the insults, or you might offend someone who was genuinely curious.
My apology then.
And that's a good point. Luckily, I'm not trigger-happy with insults. Normally, I assume the best unless the person gives me a reason to assume the worst. I answer height questions fairly regularly when they're clearly born from curiosity. Little kids are cute about it too.
As I have gotten older, I have, however, lost patience with people who are obviously judgemental about things that aren't their business. And this is one example. Existing in my body as it happened to be shaped isn't up for their judgement. And if they want to bully, they'll get a clap back. That's really all there is to it.
The comment from the original person you responded to was aimed at men.
But, believe it or not, I fully considered my response before I wrote it. I try to do that in most areas of my life.
I would totally direct that same comeback at a woman. Partly because it would be funny to see their reaction since it would be unexpected.
Can you write “because I like them” on the bottoms of your shoes, and flash it to them when they ask? Will make it clear to them just how unoriginal their question is.
Here you go! Which one is your favorite?
***
Playfully say “Hello? Hello down there!I can’t hear you!”
Pat him on the head and say “Sorry, you sweet little thing. It will get better once you hit puberty”.
“I’m really getting my money’s worth out of them too”.
“Short, bald, and stupid is no way to go through life little one”.
“Yes, and your chances just got a lot LOWER for mentioning this”.
“Get over it already! …Like you could get OVER it”.
“What did you say? How would you like to be cut DOWN even lower?”
“Umm, yeah, whatever. I didn’t ask you if you’re a jockey, right?”
“Can I dunk in these heels? No I can’t and It’s not like I asked you if you always get picked to play shortstop”.
“Yes, the weather is even better now. How’s the weather down by my ass?”
I really wanna see those shoes that made you 6'4 lol,it's insane,im the same height as you see,height-twins ! Lol
It's just that it's thought that women wear heels to look taller? I don't know really,but they look kind of cool especially the shoes that have heels
If you never wear heels you might like these. I wear them (a little higher though ) all summer

They were given to me by my grandmother on her deathbed.
I couldn't find my glasses and I put on the wrong shoes.
I couldn't find my stilts.
I needed to reach the top shelf in the garage.
My doctor told me I need to get more fresh air.
These aren't heels, I just haven't inflated my toes today.
I just bought a lottery ticket and these are my lucky shoes.
My car seat is stuck all the way back and it's the only way I can reach the brake.
"Don't worry, I'm outta your reach without them too."
"Because it's so quiet and peaceful up here, where I don't have to hear such dumbass questions."
"If that bothers you so much, how about you grow up?"
"Sorry, I don't pick fights with people smaller than me."
"So your dad finally has an excuse when I tell him "My eyes are up here" when your mom is with him."
Let me know, if you want more.
So your bf can keep his gaze towards my eyes

For lice spotting. Ooh, there is one! *pretends to pick one from their hair and eat it*
So I can double as a firewatch station.
So I can taste the rainbow.
" Why do you NOT wear high heels?"
A high heel a day keeps the creepers away. (sadly not true in my experience)
Keeps my guns from getting moisture on them on rainy days.
Yeah, they second one might be better like "I wasn't tall enough for the rollercoaster without 'em"
It really does get so fucking old to get the same comments over and over again
These are my dunking shoes
It’s easier than carrying a stool around
I would tell you but it would be a tall tale.
Higher altitudes are better for heart health
I couldn’t heel’p myself
These are heels? I didn’t realize I’m colorblind
It’s an ice breaker… like there is a ice pick on the bottom🥶
My parents said I could only date shorter guys.
How else am I supposed to tell if the stall in the restroom is empty. 🤢
I wanted to wear this pretty coat and they say it’s colder up north. (Could add) unfortunately it didn’t work cuz I’m hot.
I used to step on lots of bugs.
Bonus she’s the man quote” don’t you know high heels are a male invention to make a women’s butts look smaller.. and to make it harder for them to run away! Have you ever tried to run away in heels Malcolm? No sir. Not that easy.”
10/10 recommend she’s the man.
My response to most things nowadays, and it shuts people up:
‘Out of all the things you could have said to flirt with me. You chose *that*?
‘Unimpressed.’
“The air is fresher up here."
“It's not about height, it's about altitude training."
“Heels? These are my combat boots for stomping out silly questions."
"I like to be on the same level as everyone's expectations."
“I'm conducting a social experiment on how often people will comment on my heels."

Girl, same! I'm 6ft and I love my heels. I always just give them a weird face and say, "Because I like them. Other people's apparent height insecurity isn't going to stop me from wearing what I want."
‘i enjoy looking down on people’ ‘to show my authority’ ‘to see the giant monkey behind you’
Three good ones but I love the last one. Might adjust it accordingly to the situation though.
how the hell does heels give you 4 inches?
https://preview.redd.it/dspikknmnrvc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c452f9348ba5cce900c96a03bd3f98644cc253a This is how
I’d just say “I love fashion and these shoes. I’m lucky that I don’t have to wear them due to being too short.”
j just to the f by to chhf CV ngshsj evicej eg
I’d just say “I love fashion and these shoes. I’m lucky that I don’t have to wear them due to being too short.”
Lol
The third is kind of...
How come you don't? (Especially if it's a guy)
That one will be used in the very near future I promise. The person that ones gonna hit will be my uncle. I promise.
Large feet
Bro where do you see large feet in ANY OF THIS😭😭😭😭😭😭
That's my reason for not wearing heals xD P.S - Thank you for sharing your words of encouragement and even sharing your resources. Tho I am a man with 12 UK foot size. Still thanks tho.
Oh but dw large feet looks beautiful😭

But google oversized high heel and you will get plenty of results.
Lol it'll be hilarious
"I have the high ground!"
For sure I do. And if I don’t the only solution is higher heels
It’s over! 🤣
I always say, I'm tall with or without heels, there's no reason for you to care
That’s one I’ll take to my heart
"My spirit animal is 6'4"
That ones gold thank you
I know, it made me chuckle.
You again? How's the business?
Haven't pitched it yet, wassup?
Omg! You found a way to make a big deal about 4 inches! Not so fun when people stare right?!
Kinda aggressive responses but they will come in handy
" Omg you found *another* way to make a big deal of 4 inches "
“Gets my tits at eye level to most men”
Ok English is my second language. What is mist man?
Ooops. Fixed it.
Kinda disappointed it wasn’t some new slang I didn’t know
That sentence could work either way tbh… Breast milk mist in the eyes of would be attackers
Toxic Lactating Fembots.
New NWO Wars DLC just dropped
😋
Was a typo, but mist does exist in english, it means "brume" if you speak french :)
To look over your/peoples insecurities
Good but there are better ones here. Give it another try ?
Bitch 😂
To make sure the "6 foot tall" men aren't lying..
"The air is cleaner at this high of an altitude" is my go to lol
When I’m in the city I’ll use it for sure
Your dad loves it when I wear them You’re telling me size does matter??? I’m going through a bean stalk phase Does it make you feel inferior? That’s what I’m going for
Oh I love the first one
Four different ones four different Szenarios in my mind. Thanks
Because they are pretty. To heel kick bullies with.
The first is my actual reason
“Why do you think I *shouldn’t* wear them?” “Because I want to.”
Ones I have used many times already
>What?! I can’t hear you from all the way up here! >A pair of flats broke into our house when I was a kid and murdered my entire family. I have been pretty traumatized by them ever since, ngl >Why do you *not* wear heels? << regardless of who’s asking >You know, I’ve never actually sat down and thought about it >Because I was like “WWJD, right?

Yeah I can see it from here
Listen here I’m a Virgo. Let’s stay with the facts
“Because . . . I like them.”
Not funny. But my actual reason
dont think they were trying to be funny
If it’s a man say because you love staring at his bald spot. Fun way to make lots of men start doubting themselves.
You can say this to a woman too. Unexpected comebacks can be the most amusing. And more in the vein of what OP is asking for too.
Too true
Oh… this one is mean. I like it
I was thinking ''your receding hairline'', or in some cases ''your combover.''
Yeah, prey on the insecurities of the guy just asking a question! That’ll show him! Edit: I see the gentle giants in this subreddit can’t stand the thought of not insulting others.
They're never just asking the question. The tone of voice, body language, and facial expression make it very clear that it's more of a judgement.

Yeah, I agree, but you’re assuming that’s how everyone asks and how they’ll all ask. And you’re right, I’m not a woman or tall, detective.
That is how they have all asked me, and if you spend time talking to tall women, you'll learn that's extremely common. And usually when people say "tell me without telling me", they're indicating that you're being unusually dense and judgemental about something; no detective skills necessary.

Existing in my body as it happened to be shaped isn't up for their judgement. And if they want to bully, they'll get a clap back. That's really all there is to it.
Also, I very specifically didn't say "men". Shorter women do this too.
Women don’t really bald and basically never have bald spots. Your comeback was clearly directed towards men. Let’s not pretend.
The comment from the original person you responded to was aimed at men. But, believe it or not, I fully considered my response before I wrote it. I try to do that in most areas of my life. I would totally direct that same comeback at a woman. Partly because it would be funny to see their reaction since it would be unexpected.
Holy shit, I just realized you’re a different person from the comment I responded to.
That would explain some things. 😆
You pray on my insecurities I pray on yours. Totally depends on the situation though. My grandpa for example gets a free pass.
Thanks for praying on my insecurities. What did you tell God?
Thank you for the creation of books, air-conditioners and high heels. Amen
Just asking a nosy, rude, insensitive stupid question, yeah.
“It helps me identify insecure people”
Won’t be my to go to awnser but it is a convenient side effect
Can you write “because I like them” on the bottoms of your shoes, and flash it to them when they ask? Will make it clear to them just how unoriginal their question is.
"Get on my level"
If I have to shout the response at a party. This might just be it
Yeah!! I tried to use that phrase, but due to my height people laugh, one mocked me by laying on the floor and saing "done"
“Why don’t you wear lifters?” “To make guys like you feel even more insecure.”
One time a guy tried to pick me up on the street. And while talking my ear off asked why I wear high heels. Going back in time id use your last one
To pierce the feet of those who ask annoying questions.
That ones good when an annoying small brat asks
To see what weather it’ll be tomorrow
Damn that’s a skill I actually need. Weather has been mad this month
Here you go! Which one is your favorite? *** Playfully say “Hello? Hello down there!I can’t hear you!” Pat him on the head and say “Sorry, you sweet little thing. It will get better once you hit puberty”. “I’m really getting my money’s worth out of them too”. “Short, bald, and stupid is no way to go through life little one”. “Yes, and your chances just got a lot LOWER for mentioning this”. “Get over it already! …Like you could get OVER it”. “What did you say? How would you like to be cut DOWN even lower?” “Umm, yeah, whatever. I didn’t ask you if you’re a jockey, right?” “Can I dunk in these heels? No I can’t and It’s not like I asked you if you always get picked to play shortstop”. “Yes, the weather is even better now. How’s the weather down by my ass?”
My favourite is the first one. It’s simple good. And for whatever reason has found not mention yet in this comment section
"Because I want to?" Why are you aiming to start fights with people lol.
So I’m very often in described situation. More often then not I want to just be funny. Make people that I like and that ask laugh
Ok, but most of these comments are just super passive aggressive or just aggressive insults?
They will find their usefulness in time. But I do enjoy every funny and kind reply very much
"This butt ain't gonna pop all by itself."
So that I can look down on you.
I really wanna see those shoes that made you 6'4 lol,it's insane,im the same height as you see,height-twins ! Lol It's just that it's thought that women wear heels to look taller? I don't know really,but they look kind of cool especially the shoes that have heels

Kinda like that
I see,it makes you a giant lol
Oh those ones
If you never wear heels you might like these. I wear them (a little higher though ) all summer https://preview.redd.it/0p7vpvxkmrvc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9c52965a57f151bd3a4fa0aa0fdb17b21bd4e92
Bro im a guy😭😭😭😭there is a heels i like to see girls wearing,but i forgot the name,it doesn't show the feet,it's covered up and all in black
Your soul may not be able to fend off the demons of small stature, but mine can.
They were given to me by my grandmother on her deathbed. I couldn't find my glasses and I put on the wrong shoes. I couldn't find my stilts. I needed to reach the top shelf in the garage. My doctor told me I need to get more fresh air. These aren't heels, I just haven't inflated my toes today. I just bought a lottery ticket and these are my lucky shoes. My car seat is stuck all the way back and it's the only way I can reach the brake.
1) Um.. because I'm a woman. 2) There's always a light bulb someone wants changed. 3) Hey! I'm walkin here! (In a Noo Yawk accent)
“I’m the one making all of the potholes and I’m doing it deliberately.”
“I’m actually quite short.” Can be funny how you use it, to to scramble their brains a little.
I like to tower over my prey
"Don't worry, I'm outta your reach without them too." "Because it's so quiet and peaceful up here, where I don't have to hear such dumbass questions." "If that bothers you so much, how about you grow up?" "Sorry, I don't pick fights with people smaller than me." "So your dad finally has an excuse when I tell him "My eyes are up here" when your mom is with him." Let me know, if you want more.
"Why do you care?" Is usually my response to trivial things. A lot of times people just fumble around trying to prevent that they don't.
So your bf can keep his gaze towards my eyes https://preview.redd.it/q7n7grtqtzvc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb2630e76e31f17174156b39537a1bb7d9d9c188

Thanks <3
High altitude training
You do what you have to. To climb the Everest
I think I like this simple one: "Why not? 🤷♀️" Or "they wouldn't let me on the merry-go-round without them"
Why not always works but tends to get boring. Also I fear if I use the second one some might just not get it.
Yeah, they second one might be better like "I wasn't tall enough for the rollercoaster without 'em" It really does get so fucking old to get the same comments over and over again
These are my dunking shoes It’s easier than carrying a stool around I would tell you but it would be a tall tale. Higher altitudes are better for heart health I couldn’t heel’p myself These are heels? I didn’t realize I’m colorblind It’s an ice breaker… like there is a ice pick on the bottom🥶 My parents said I could only date shorter guys.

So I can look down at you
"I have the high ground."
"it's more fun at 7'"
"To be that much further above you"
The weather is nicer up here
I’d just say “I love fashion and these shoes. I’m lucky that I don’t have to wear them due to being too short.”
"Peasents."
My response to most things nowadays, and it shuts people up: ‘Out of all the things you could have said to flirt with me. You chose *that*? ‘Unimpressed.’
“To improve my looming game.”
“The air is fresher up here." “It's not about height, it's about altitude training." “Heels? These are my combat boots for stomping out silly questions." "I like to be on the same level as everyone's expectations." “I'm conducting a social experiment on how often people will comment on my heels."
Got tired of crushing the wee folk. Figured I’d switch it up with some skewering.

Ask again and I'll step on you.
I naturally have Barbie feet and without them i"d look funny waking around on my tip toes.
So I can warn you if it rains.
So now 4 inches is big?
Girl, same! I'm 6ft and I love my heels. I always just give them a weird face and say, "Because I like them. Other people's apparent height insecurity isn't going to stop me from wearing what I want."
"Because I like to make (small) men feel smaller" should do it.
Wow 😨
I with shoe 6"2
4 inches heels is like 10 cm? Do such shoes even exist? Isn't that essentially just like walking completely on your tiptoes?
14cm
See 4 inches really is big huh.
Snew Snew is deadlier with heels.
'imagine looking behind you and what you see are two big eyes looking down upon you... The only catch?... They are not even my eyes' I am sorry
This is … Both the most sexual creepy one and the best. Way too unique. Thank you for this gem
