At what age would you allow your daughter to wear heels?

My oldest is 14 and has been bugging me recently to pick her up some high heels for her to wear out with her friends this fall. When I asked her why she wants them she says she is a high school girl now and wants to look more mature and adult like. I told her I'd think about it. What does everyone think?

Your daughter is slowly becoming a young woman, so her wish is understandable. I think you should grant her wish as long as you pick out her heels (maybe kitten heels or boots with a small heels) and she needs your permission to wear them.

@Mugin16 That's a good idea start out with some small ones for her to learn with. Let her grow into her role as a young woman :)

@Kathryn05 Yes, exactly. Let her start with small heels and maybe next spring or summer you can buy her strappy sandals with higher heels (maybe three inches) for going out or occasions.
