It’s time to strap on some height again with this post on 7 Ways To Make Heels More Comfortable.
We all know that wearing heels isn’t the best thing you can do for your
health. Which is why some ladies shy away from even the idea of putting
on heels to parties and events. Well, a lady’s wardrobe is never really
complete without heels, and so lady’s have to learn how to wear them
and not feel so uncomfortable.
So before you sigh about pinched toes, aching soles and throbbing
heels, we’ve dug up some tips to help you be pain free in your
strappiest of heels.
More Pitch, More Pain
The slant of a shoe’s sole is called the pitch. And all you need to know about it from a consumer perspective is the steeper the pitch, the more your feet will hurt at the end of the day. Of course, higher heels have a pitch with a steeper land, but it’s worth it to pay attention specifically to that part of the shoe, regardless of heel height. You’ll find some heels comparatively have a more gentle slope.
Walking Right
Posture is important for so many reasons. Not only does it make you look as beautiful and confident as possible, it helps you keep a strong, even stride that prevents heavy clomping that can make heels hurt even more. Think of yourself as a perfectly postured ballerina the next time you’re going around in heels. A hop to your step rather than a heavy pounding makes a marginal difference.
You Get What You Pay For
The cheaper the heel and the cheaper the materials, the more pain you’ll have to endure. Genuine leather forms to your foot and provides flexibility that less expensive shoes made of plastic never will. So, bargain buy at your own risk. That said, an expensive pair can fit you poorly. Spending the money never guarantees fit.
Heel placement
If the heel is too far back, it won’t support your weight properly. The center line of the heel should be directly under the center of your own heel. Thicker heels often do this automatically, or you can look for narrow heels that dip in slightly at the top.
Sole thickness
High heels are much more comfortable with a little padding, especially on hard surfaces, so some sort of a platform is always a good idea. If your shoes don’t have a platform, try adding a gel insole.
Heel Thickness
The wider your heel, the greater your stability. Wedges can be even more stable, provided they are not too narrow and the entirety of the sole touches the ground.
Wear Secured Heels
The easier it is for you to slip out of your heels, the harder they will be to walk in. Your shoes should feel like an extension of your body, not something foreign that could fall off at any moment. A slingback or a pump is preferable to a mule, but a boot or something with a strap that goes across the front of the foot and/or ankle is even better.
