High heels help women become more elegant and seductive, but using them all day will be a nightmare if you do not know the following tips.
Wearing high heels for a long time can lead to sore feet, redness in the heels or toes. How to avoid and fix that? The 13 tips below will help you.
Put the shoes in the freezer Put your shoes in the freezer for 30 minutes. When the shoe is cold, you will find it a lot easier to walk. You could also try putting a water bag inside the shoes and putting them in the freezer. Frozen water will relax your shoes a little more, making you more comfortable. Use double-sided tape Tape the heel to the sole. This tip will keep your shoes fit at all times, but most importantly it will prevent blistering and soreness in your toes. Use high heels Specially designed for the sole, usually made of silicone or fabric, these socks will prevent your feet from slipping forward, reducing pain and blistering. Choose silicone if you’re wearing open-toed heels. The silicone pad is not visible under your feet but protects your feet very well. Moisturizer Apply a little moisturizer to your feet before you put on your heels to help keep your feet from rubbing, hurting, and blistering, especially if the shoes are new and tight. Baby powder If you have talcum powder at home, try sprinkling some on high heels. It will prevent sweat from slipping, reducing the risk of injury. Tape All you have to do is glue your third and fourth toes together with tape to reduce the pressure on the nerve between your toes, alleviating the pain. Don’t take off your heels Even if high heels are causing you extreme pain, taking them off is a bad idea. You should feel relief for a second, but the feet will most likely swell up immediately, bringing them back in even more painful. Wear high heels at home Put on high heels at home for at least a week before wearing them outside, especially if they are new and tight. This way, you will get used to your shoes and they can stretch to better fit your feet. Wax deodorant Before putting on your shoes, apply a little deodorant wax to areas that rub against the shoes such as heels, ankles or toes to avoid cracking or discomfort. Don’t stand still Even if you are in extreme pain, try to walk. Standing still on high heels will make you more painful. You can also sit down and rest for a while, but don’t take your shoes off. Proper foot care If your heels are cracked, your skin is hard and gritty, your high heels will only aggravate these problems and make you much more painful. So taking good care of your feet is a must. Choose the right shoes If you’ve never tried it before, don’t rush to buy heels that are pointed or too tall for you. They look more luxurious, but will make your legs hurt. Choose square heels and lower shoes. Bandage If you’re unsure of how comfortable your new heels are, just keep a few bandages and other blister treatment products in your wallet. They will save you if the shoes start to hurt you.
