I am 5'8" and wondered if it's too big for me and I do wear high heels all the time, 3.5" or higher. I prefer 4". Anyways, I did get used to it but it took me a while. I am very narrow in profile and big bags tend to wear me. I have hips but sideways, I just look too narrow. Some people who are narrow in the front but wider in profile, tend to wear them better, just my opinion though. Hope this helps...
