Tips For Wearing High Heels

  • Wear a shorter heel. A 2" heel causes less problems than a 4-inch heel. A shorter heel will give an elongated appearance if it is a thin stiletto type rather than a thick or chunky heel.
  • Try to save the use of your high heeled shoes for functions where you will not be on your feet for extended periods of time; treat them as a limited privilege accessory.
  • Take your designer shoes to a pedorthist to have them custom fit to your feet. They may be able to stretch the toe box to better accommodate your feet.
  • Try wearing a larger size show than usual and insert heel cups indo the backs for a better or more comfortable fit.
  • Wear open toe shoes instead of a similarly-styled shoe that causes discomfort in your toes. Partially open toe shoes have become more acceptable in many work environments, allowing you to further customize your shoes to your feet.
  • Remember that however appealing those high-heel, high-fashion shoes are, your feet need to carry you around for a lifetime. Treat them kindly!

I always wear high heels 4 inch or over. i don't care about health problems in the future i just like looking sexy. I always take my shoes of when sitting or let them dangle of my toes so i give my feet a rest. I am 34 years old and have never worn any other shoe since i was 15. I have never had a problem considering i wear them at least 10 hours of each day.

I am 16 & I always wear heels, I don't wear tennis shoes. I feel most comfortable in heels & I can do anything in them. I don't care if my feet don't hurt.

I too always wear heels, from 4" to 5.5". I can't wear heels much lower than 4" or I feel pain for some reason.
