A common misconception is that all high heels are bad for your feet or uncomfortable. This is usually because women oftentimes are wearing the wrong shoe size, or don’t take the time to stretch their heels. Some materials can be more comfortable than others. Stiff, unyielding synthetic materials can be harsh on your feet, because they won’t mold to the natural contours of your foot like leather or suede. It’s usually a better idea to find women’s comfortable heels in these natural materials, because they are softer, more pliable, and last longer.
Another factor to look at when you are considering women’s comfortable high heels is the heel height. Although it can be fun to wear stiletto heels when out and about on the town, these are usually inappropriate or uncomfortable for a day at the office, or any other time when you are going to be on your feet all day. However, high heels that lift you off the ground a couple of inches can be quite comfortable, once you have become accustomed to walking in them. Kitten heels are also a good compromise, as they give the wearer some height but are as comfortable as flats.
Avoid buying pointed heels that have a pointed toe. If you have feet that are wide then ask for a wider pair. Try on the heels, walk around in them. If they are comfortable then buy them, if not shop around. Don’t buy heels that have hard leather, try and get a pair with soft leather.
Remember extended wear of high heels can cause blisters, calluses and corns on your feet. You definitely don’t want to be seen limping in your high heels. Make sure to carry bandaids or moleskin squares in case your feet start to hurt.
Hopefully by following this advice your high heels will be more comfortable.
