How to Wear High Heels Without Damaging Your Feet

Wearing heels or stilettos can be painful, as many women know.

It’s hard to keep them on for hours without being tempted to take them off.

Have you ever been guilty of slipping off your heels under your desk or a table at your favorite club?

However we all know that heels look great and they make your calves seem irresistible.

So What is the Problem with Wearing Heels?

In a recent report, podiatrist Andrew Barlow said that the pain from wearing heels comes from having all of your body weight concentrated at the front.

They also push your hips forward and cause a sway back, and no woman wants that!

So, What is the Key to Wearing Heels?

Barlow says that the real key to successfully wearing heels is moderation.

If you have to wear them try to keep walking to a minimum.

He also suggests that you don’t wear them every day, but to save very high heels for only those special occasions like weddings, balls and formal occasions.

What Happens if You Wear High Heels Too Often?

If you wear high heels too often you will no doubt have aching feet, blisters and you may even cause stress fractures.

Yikes! No woman wants that!

So, what can you do?

Andrew Barlow suggests that you get a tennis ball and rub your feet up and down gently on it. This will help relieve the tension and massage your soft skin.

As well, he recommends that you soak your feet in an ice bath, and get someone to rub them.
