What part of the foot do high heels hurt the most?
onigiri asked:
I’ve bought a pair of high-heeled sandals to wear to a wedding. It’s 3 inches high, has thin straps, and a heel that’s thin but not quite stiletto.

This might sound weird to some of you, but I’ve never worn high heels before (parent’s wouldn’t let me, and there’s not much chance for that stuff if you go to a school with uniforms).
To make my feet more comfortable, I’ve bought some of those Scholl’s soft pad thingies that I can stick on the shoe. Which part of the sandal should I stick them on: the part where I rest the balls of my feet or where I rest my heels?
In other words, will my heels or the balls of my feet hurt more after I’m in the heels for 2 hours? Thanks for telling!

the balls of the feet is where all of the pressure is exhurted. try standing on your toes. that’s how it will feel wearing heels.

it is not so much your feet that will hurt that will get better but high heels are really bad for your back.

Whoa, you need to practice before you spend the night barefoot or crying.
The ball of my foot is the part which aches the most after a night at the club. The next morning they still hurt, when I get out of bed. The first few steps…think of me!!
I am so excited for you to be experiencing this pain for the first time! You’ll will know what it feels like to be a woman. lol
Good luck, Hun!

I used to wear at least 4″ heels to work everynight and after a few weeks of that I lost feeling in two to three of the toes on both of my feet. I had to stop wearing heels all together for like two months. It must have had something to do with all the pressure on the ball of my foot (OUCH!) messing with the nerves or something. It was really freaky.

the balls of you feet will be hurting
i been wearing heels since i was 14
also i dance in the for 4 hours a day(im not a stripper im a ballroom dancer)
before you go to the wedding wear the heels and practice to walk in them cause for your frist time it will be hard to walk in them
and also for your frst time i think it would be better if you went for a smaller heel like 2″
3 is hard to walk in even dance (trust me on this i dance in 3″)
so yea practice walking
and there will be pain if your in them for a long time

You might want to practice wearing these new shoes before you wear them anywhere. I think the ball of the foot and the calves of your legs is where you will feel the stress from wearing this type of shoe.
