Quick Handy Tips For Finding Comfortable Heels cont'd from previous post
4. KNOW YOUR RIGHT SHOE SIZE
I can’t press this enough.. Find the right shoe size to fit your feet. It might sound really silly and something very natural to know, but in a recent study by The College of Podiatry in 2017 found that nearly half of the women in UK alone wear the wrong shoe size.
5. STURDY BLOCK HEELS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND
Chunky heels do not tend to wiggle as quick as stilettos.
These type of heels will prevent your ankle from snapping like my neck does when my boyfriend gets cheeky with me.
I am not saying that pencil stilettos are the devil. I’m just saying high stilettos are not made for standing all day.
6. GO FOR THE ALREADY PADDED INSOLED HEELS
So what if you have found the perfect heels that fit wonderful but with every step you take the ball of your heel hurts?
That is something very common with single sole heels because there is a lot of pressure on that part of your feet. Try to find a heel that has an already thick insole like the image above.
The padding will absorb the shock you usually feel.
BONUS TIP: GO FOR PLATFORM HEELS
Heels that have a platform are more comfortable than single soled heels because the actual heel is shorter than the total heel height. Also, the platform makes the impact of your feet touching the ground, less great so that means less discomfort.
However thick platform heels can sometimes make your feet wiggle and sometimes snaps your ankle. Especially if the platform is very thick and the heel is a stiletto. The shoe should be a good ratio between a thick platform and a fitting heel.
So you might wonder after reading all these steps, why you would still wear heels? Well, you know what they say: Who wants to be beautiful must suffer, but is that really true? I personally do not go by this saying and I am pretty sure you do not want to endure this annoying discomfort on a night out.
So when you are looking for heels please do not get blinded by the glamour of the shoes. Use these steps to find your perfect heels.
