If you know me at all, you know that am a loyal and devoted wearer of all high shoes: wedges? love 'em! stack heel? my kind of comfort. skinny stiletto? count me in! Here are a few tips and tricks of the trade when it comes to wearing sky high heels - pain doesn't have to be beauty!
(A lovely pair of black patent leather heels from Bebe - I'm absolutely in love with the cork heel, it transitions so well from season to season. These shoes are quite high, but they have a really thick platform, so the heel isn't exactly as wobbly as they seem.)
(Not only is this the best color shoe, as it goes with literally everything, but it was also inexpensive and is a wedge heel (wedges are actually doctor recommend and are better for your foot than flats...seriously). They are from GoMax and are sadly almost on their last leg, but were a great purchase.)
My Saving Graces
(I am obsessed with Footpetals and Dr. Scholl's for her - best making-shoes-comfortable invention ever - you will be amazed at how much difference a small foam or gel cushion can make. These make it possible to wear heels all day and not be limping home later that night.)
(A visible band-aid can ruin the look of a shoe; they are often the wrong match for one's skin tone and leave an outline of sticky glue. I highly recommend liquid band-aids, this actually works and it is easy to apply. My other obsession is blister block, it is basically a glue stick for your feet and spreads on a thin barrier between your foot at your shoe to prevent any sort of uncomfortable friction. Both items can be bought at your local drugstore and are well worth the few dollars you spend.)
Hi Dolls,
I am so happy to be back, I quite missed my daily posts and hearing your feedback! Today we conquer the high-heel - definitely my favorite accessory, they have become my signature look and I am proud to say that I rarely ever complain about how high or how uncomfortable a shoe is (but that is only because I've learned a few things along the way). The first thing to look for in a pair of heels is a thick platform, this makes a shoe more comfortable and easier to walk in. Also, make sure to really break in a new pair of shoes by wearing them for only a few hours at a time, until they feel good enough to wear for an entire day. And finally, the best shoe advice I've ever heard...change shoes midway through the day! Sounds like old news to most of you, but I don't mean change from heels to flats, I mean bring two high-heeled options to match an outfit and switch midday - I promise that your feet will be comfortable and feel as though you have switched into a pair of relieving flats, just without the height difference. Thanks so much again for remaining loyal readers, you guys are the best - have a great Thursday!
xoxo,
D
