High heels are an essential part of the wardrobe – they make your legs look longer and bottom smaller. However, ‘high’ heels can become ‘killer’ heels causing problems ranging from blisters, corns and calluses to serious foot, knee and back pain. But as it’s a party essential, here are offering words of wisdom to help you and your feet.
- Keep high heels for special occasions where you will not be on your feet for extended periods of time; treat them as a limited-privilege accessory.
- Save backless high-heeled shoes for evening glamor. Backless shoes force your toes to claw as you walk, straining the muscles if worn over a long period.
- Vary your heel heights from day to day, one-day wearing low heels, and the next day slightly higher heels.
- Try wearing a larger size than usual and insert heel cups into the backs for a better or more comfortable fit.
- Vary shoe types.
- For everyday use, keep heel heights to about 4 cm.
- Consider wearing shoes with a strap or lace over the instep rather than slip-ons. This will help stop your foot sliding forward, a bit like a seatbelt in a car.
- Give your feet some extra special attention during, and after wearing high heels.
