High-heeled shoes can do a lot for our legs: they appear longer and more toned, and as a result, the silhouette is slimmer. Come on, we got a version 2.0 of ourselves in a moment. But… as in everything, there is no reward without sacrifice: after a few hours on our heels we can stop feeling our feet (literally). Can you wear heels without pain? The answer is yes. In our image gallery you can find the most comfortable shoe and heel models, but also take note of these tricks to choose and wear heels without pain and with style:
Look at the height and the width!
And it is that to the torture of wearing the foot practically on tiptoe, we can add that of wearing the fingers tight due to the narrow toe. This happens especially with stilettos. To avoid double torture, look for high-heeled shoes that have the top of the instep slightly bulging so there is room for all of your toes (yes, most women have five toes, although many manufacturers seem to have forgotten).
One more number
If you find a pointy lounge with a bulging front and you're still not comfortable, try wearing one more number and putting a gel pad inside so your foot doesn't roll forward. As a last resort, you have to choose a model with a rounded tip, less sexy but… definitely more comfortable.
The secret is balance
When you look at some high-heeled shoes, check that they stand up on their own … It seems silly, but there are heels that when you leave them alone on the floor and give them a light touch in the heel area they shake and wobble, or even they fall. So, even if the shop assistant looks at you strangely, before trying them on, leave them on the ground and give them a little touch with your finger to check their stability. If they don't tremble, the last is good.
Bet on support
If you weren't born with the super power of walking in heels as naturally as if you were wearing sneakers (don't worry, it's almost as difficult as teleportation), the extra help of a bracelet tied to your ankle or a low-rise that holds your instep will be appreciated. The bad thing about this type of shoe is that it visually shortens the leg and does not stylize as much as those that show the instep. If your legs are short or wide, we would only recommend them to be worn with pants, never with skirts or dresses.
Welcome wide heel!
Luck accompanies us in these last seasons in which thick heels are worn , since having a much wider base they distribute the weight better and it is easier to walk with them. If we add a front platform to this, the result will be a comfort similar to that of gym shoes (repeat this last phrase like a mantra, the power of your mind is infinite).
The comfort of wedges
They are by far the most comfortable high shoes that exist. Wedges distribute the weight of the body much better and avoid pain, which makes them perfect for those not initiated in the world of heels, since it is easier to achieve a graceful walk than with a normal heel. If you choose them with booties, you will add a plus of security to your way of walking.
Beware of thin strips!
Although to many of us they seem like a refined instrument of torture (we include ourselves in this group), the high-heeled sandals and thin straps are a beauty that enhances and gives elegance to any foot. To be more comfortable with this type of footwear, bet on models with slightly wider and flatter straps, since those that are round, like a cord, dig into the skin.
Medium heel
Finally, to wear heels without pain, you can reduce their height a few centimeters and choose medium heels, which are also worn a lot this season. If you put a non-slip pad inside the shoe, to prevent the foot from going forward, you can wear them all day or all night.
