Heels can be your best or worst enemies. They make us look slimmer, taller, modern and elegant, but as we already know, «beauty costs» and sometimes we pay for it with great pain.
It doesn’t make much sense to wear beautiful heels but they are so uncomfortable that they prevent us from enjoying the moment, don’t you think? Of course we all still want to wear high heels. So today we are going to see 7 tips that will help us wear heels without much suffering.
1. BUY THE RIGHT NUMBER
It may seem obvious but it is actually one of the most common mistakes. When we are in the shoe store we have to walk with them for a bit and then stand on tiptoe. The right shoe for your size isn’t going to slip out of the back when you do. If it does, no matter how cute or cheap it is, don’t buy it.
2. LEARN WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU
If you are like me, you absolutely love all types of heels. But the reality is that we all have different feet and to find out which shoe is best for ours, the best thing to do is pay a visit to the podiatrist.
3. THE THICKER THE TACO, THE LESS THE PAIN
Of course, stiletto heels are beautiful and probably the most delicate, but unfortunately they are also the most painful and difficult to handle. It’s pretty easy to lose your balance and fall and bend your foot and it’s just as ugly to stagger around drunk. My recommendation is that if you want to use them first get used to walking with other tacos, these are for experts.
4. THIN SOLES? NO, THANKS
It is not necessary that you always use a platform of course, but it is true that they are much more comfortable. The best thing is that if you wear shoes with thin soles they are of good quality and if the pain is still too much for you, you can buy silicone insoles that make them more cushioned.
5. TAKE BREAKS
You can’t wear heels 24/7. You have to get some rest and also give your feet some attention. Stretch the ankles and massage the toes and the bottom of the foot.

6. STAY AWAY FROM SANDALS WITH FEW STRAPS
They are beautiful of course and let the whole foot show, but you will pay with pain. It is important that if you are not an expert, you wear sandals with a more covered instep because the foot will be well supported and it will not hurt as much and we will not have so many problems when walking.
7. PRACTICE
Nobody bought their first pair of heels and wore them without suffering. The trick is to practice at home, you will see that it hurts less and less and you can take them longer. The same goes for new shoes, before taking them out on the street it is a good idea to wear them at home for a while.
