Penelope asked:


I’m horrible at walking in high heels because of how uncomfortable they feel after a while, especially from the pressure applied to the front of the foot. What are some tips for making walking in high heels a much more comfortable experience?

    Gel insoles for sure! They make a huge difference.

    you can buy dr. scholls gel pads. they make some just for heels!
    at drugstores, walmart, target. wherever

    Make sure the shoes line up PERFECTLY with your feet….ie, your arches fit comfortably over the shoe’s arch. That will help A LOT.

    Another thing to do is learn gradually. Once you can walk comfortably (pain-free) in a pair of slightly heeled shoes, move to higher ones. Don’t go for stilettos right away, work with a chunky heel first and as you master each height, go a little higher.

    Also ::

    Do not buy shoes that are too tight at the strappy part.. Trust me, It kills !

    Annd, make sure the shoe has a good arch and some support( I know it can be hard too find comfy cute high heels but if you look hard enough you will!)

    Good luck :)

    If you need to wear them regularly (like work for instance) make sure you wear either Naturalizers or Easy Spirit shoes.

    sit as much as possible

    good arch support is KEY when it comes to being perfectly comfortable in heels (along with practicing walking in them more frequently).

    Your feet just have to get used to it. I wear heels all the time and they still kill my feet somedays. Definetly get insoles and I like those little socks that just cover the arch and ball of your foot so as not to show. Good luck!

    Practice, practice and more practice. But don’t take it seriously. Go have some fun with shorter heels and build up.
