How to make heels more comfortable

1. Go for a shorter heel

there’s so many cute options when it comes to heels and they don’t all have to be sky-high. A lower heel means less pressure on the ball of your feet and less chance of ball blisters but if you do end up falling for a pair of 5-inch heels that you know you just won’t be able to walk in, shoe repair shops can alter your heel height.

2. Learn to walk

Walking in heels is a science and the best way to do it properly is heel to toe steps with your core engaged. This means less clunky steps and less slipping and sliding in and out of your heels. Practice makes perfect ladies.

3. Wear them in

Before wearing them out, wear them in by putting them on at home. Put on a thick pair of socks and stretch them out around your foot preventing them from pinching when you next put them on.

4. Pick the right shoe

This sounds like the hardest step because how can you know if you’ve got the right shoe? basically, if you’ve got wide feet, pointed shoes are likely going to hurt your toes and if you’ve got no arches super high heels are going to be extra painful. The qualities in shoes you find the most comfortable are the qualities you want to find in your new pair. Wide fit heels would be a good choice if you’ve got wide feet.

5. Use plasters

Fabric plasters or mole skin ban be applied directly over brewing blisters or problem areas preventing unnecessary friction.

6. Buy platforms

Platform heels mean that your foot is at a less of an angle but you can still get the height you want from your heels.

6. Buy blister products

You can buy anti-blister sticks and padded inserts to reduce friction and pressure on your precious tootsies. You can also purchase heel grips if you’ve got a little extra space at the back of your heels to stop your feet from slipping about.

7. Find the perfect fit

If you don’t feel secure in your heels then the likely hood is that they’re going to slip about and we know that means blisters plus yore going to try and keep them n place which means straining your feet and causing more pain.
