How do you ladies wear HIGH HEELS?!?
Wear your heels around the house as much as possible,and you will eventually get used to them.If they continue to be uncomfortable,try an insole, which make them more comfy.
Reply:aww im sorry! you have to break them infirst, getting them used to your feet. so i know it will be painful, but before walking around in public in them, wear them around the house all day for like 1 or 2 days and then they wont hurt as much. hope this helped! and good luck!
Reply:try breaking them in first, like walking around your house. whatever you do, don't wear them out in public unless you have and extra pair of sneakers or sandals in your purse or something. also, if you've never worn high heels before, try getting a pair that aren't too high. if you get a pair that's too high, your feet ache and ache. also, wear high heels for short periods of time if you can't do long periods of time. like, for an hour or two or three each day or something.
Reply:When you wear high heels the most important part is how well they fit--not the brand name. A little bit of discomfort is normal but any rubbing on the toes is a bit excessive.





It's normal to have to "break in" shoes and stretch them a bit. They may occassionally give you a heel blister when they're new but they should never be rubbing your toes--this is how people get corns of their toes!





The width of the shoe and how well your toes slide into a pointy shoe if that's what you're opting for, is really, really important. If the shoe feels too snug around your toes--pass them up and try on another style.
Reply:As one of my drunk friends once mistakenly said Pain is beauty. Weve lived by that moto for some time now and it holds true.
Reply:LOL!!!! I only laugh because my first job (30+) years ago required me to wear business suits (the skirt and jacket deal) and high heels!!! I worked for 20 years in high heels!! I gave them up when I caught a heel and broke my ankle!!!! I swear the heel caught and I heard bones crunching!! and they were my bones!!! My toes are evil, my heels are evil---all thanks to fashion!!! I now wear loafers to work!! I love high heels--but thanks to them I fall off my loafers now!!!!!!
Reply:5 Tips to Protect Your Feet When Wearing High Heels








We know you love your high heels, so we won't even hint at the fact that you'd be better off in sneakers. At the same time, what good is that great pair of red patent-leather stilettos if all you can do is sit and admire them?





If youre going to wear heels, WebMD combined advice from our two experts, along with suggestions from the American Podiatric Association, to protect your feet.





1. Get the best-fitting high heel possible. While this may seem like a given, stop and think: How many pairs of high heels cause your feet to slide to the front, leaving a gap big enough for a small cell phone behind your heel? Mogul says high heels that don't fit properly cause the front of the foot to fly forward, creating more pressure -- and pain -- on toes. Look for narrow heels with a snug but not tight fit to correct the problem.





2. Cushion, cushion, cushion. While a full-shoe insert can help, if you have pain in the ball of the foot -- or you'll be standing in your heels a long time -- invest in silicone metatarsal pads. They look like flattened gummy bears, but they do a super job of shock absorption, says Morin. "It's like replacing the fat padding you lost."





3. Wear a thicker heel for stability. "A thicker heel will give you better balance and may help relieve some pressure by distributing the weight on your foot more evenly, says Morin. Alternating heel heights can also help reduce problems with the Achilles tendon.





4. Pay attention to the "slope" or "pitch" of the heel. While some 4-inch heels will give you a straight drop down to the flatbed portion of the shoe, others will be a more gradual slope. This may be easier on the arch, says Morin, and might help relieve some pain in the ball of the foot.





5. Wear open-toe high heels to relieve pressure on corns and calluses. See a podiatrist to have corns and calluses professionally removed and correct the problem thats causing them. But if that's not possible, opt for open-toe shoes to take pressure off inflamed areas.

Good luck!
Reply:It sounds like you did not fit them right at the store, or purchsed inexpensive, cheaply made shoes. Are they leather? If so they will strectch, or you can hav them strectched in the needed places. Do they have padding? If not add some metatarsal pads. Is the toe box long or short. Try European styles that have a longer toe box, but hug the sides of the foot better preventing sliding. Lastly, use sandals instead of closed toes..just be sure the toe area strap is wide and hugs the sides of your foot. One large toe area strap is better then the thin styl straps. Good luck and look sexy.
