Chelle, I am a shrimp at 5ft 1in. My hubby is 6ft 4in. My two sons aged 15 and 13 are 5ft 10in and still growing. My daughter is 6 years old and 4ft tall. She keeps telling me that I will be the shrimpiest in the family as she is going to be 6ft tall just like Dad. Raven, :o)))))))))

I am 5ft 9 and that was very tall when I was growing up, it's not so bad now though. I have a very long inside leg, but thankfully now buy trousers long enough at Dorothy Perkins. When I was younger I always wore high heels, not now though. My hubby is 5ft 10, son 6ft 1 and my daughter is 5ft 5 and she hates it, as she always wanted to be tall. M.

Thanks Roxanne - appears to be a branch in Valencia. Will make a note and visit next time I´m there.

I'm 5' 9' Hubby 6' 4' Kids aren't far behind. Youngest is 7 and wearing 10-11 yrs clothes. My friend Claire's mum is 6'4' and makes me feel very short, although I am by far the tallest out of all my mates (apart from Claire) Julie xx

Hi Elaine, My favorite shop is called G.B Bravo,they Import from France and Italy so most of mine are french or Italian, Spanish brands are a problem for me,I very rarely get a pair of Spanish shoes to fit.

My cousin Hannah, i think she is 6' 2

Roxanne - where do you find large size shoes in Spain? I take size 9 and haven´t found one shop that caters for my size!! Buy all my shoes in UK when I am there - and must say Evans is great for boots.

Lucky you Rox...... same ere with the sales thing its great isant it....lol

Im 5ft 11in,but I still wear high heels sometimes,then Im about 6ft 2in,I love being tall, my shoe size is 8-9 which can be a great thing over here(Spain) I get lots of bargains,its always the big sizes that are left in the sales, I picked up a pair of winter boots last year for 10 euros,they are Charles Jourdan boots:-))

just nudging for someone

Um boots..with it being Evans and my legs being thin the upper part of the boot dosent fit.... :(( But no your right havent been in for a while..

Chelle, you haven't been in Evans for a long time have you. Their shoes are right up to date, and a fantastic range of boots in the winter! They are also introducing a tall range too.

Chelle - I'm 5ft 2 1/2inches( the 1/2 makes all the difference.) Used to wear heels all the time but found now that I'm getting to late middle age I find them a bit uncomforable now and they have to support more weight. My son is 5ft5ins and my daughter is 5ft11ins and a size 8. Lindax

thanks teresa

Yes Teresa thats right but the only problem with Evans is that they are not very fashionable shoes.........

Chelle, you can shop online they have a site, www*longtallsally*com I'm sure they would do mail order too.

I take MiL shopping and she is 5'10', so she does the high shelves and I do the low shelves.......gosh it sounds like that song......you take the high road, and I'll take the low road..... OH is 6' and kids are 5'6' to 6', so they tower over me.....

Dont have a long tall sally ere :((

Try Long Tall Sally, they cater ONLY for taller ladies. I think Steed & Simpson do larger shoes, though their range is limited. Evans do a good range of shoes as well, I think their sizes are larger, and they are especially good if you have broad feet like mine. (flippers)

Dolcis Pauline or sometimes Evans................
