How To Wear Right Heels Without Pain

When it comes to looking stylish women footwear, nothing beats a gorgeous pair of high heels. It makes your legs look longer, body slimmer, and your whole outfit, more polished. However, high heels never tend to be more comfortable, never designed for walking in. We wobble, slip and turn our ankles on every uneven stone, but refuse to trade them in for more sensible flats and sneakers.

Here are some special tips to keep in mind when shopping for heels and make sure you end up with the perfect pair for you.

#1.    Choose the one that  fits you better

Ill-fitting shoes can contribute to corns and calluses caused by friction, it further may compress the bones and have the potential to cause nerve damage. Make sure there's a thumb's width between your longest toe and the front of the shoe; it gives give your toes room to move. Pointy toe boxes pinch the toes and contribute to ingrown toenails. Try these shoes as it has good support under the toes so the heel will not cause strain on the backbone.

If the sole is stitched on, make sure the stitches are even and look secure. 

#7.   More coverage on top instead of bottom

Don't take me wrong!!! I am talking about your shoes. If you have large ankles, don’t buy anything with an ankle strap as it will make your ankles look wider and draw attention. Since high heel shoes give you the illusion of extra height save them for special occasions.
