About those high heels!!!!!!

Oh I'm so sorry. I like to break them in before I go out in them. I will take the toe part and push it up like I've walked for a while in them and then I'll take the back heel part and push it down. I think it helps. So hopefully this will help you out.

I rarely wear heels so I understand where you're coming from. I don't get the skinny heels, I prefer wedges or "chunky heels". My favorite wedges have a slipper toe. All I can tell you is to wear your new shoes as much as possible so you're used to them or trade them in a for a different style. Since I get the feeling you're more of a tennis shoe/sneaker girl go for the wedge heels.

I hate hate hate high heels! On Saturday my MIL made us do family picture and I wore my comfortable high heel boots. Due to the fact that the pictures took hours my feet were killing me. In fact the still hurt until Tuesday evening. I use to have a job where I had to wear heels every day and wearing heels never bothered me. The best bet is to shop around and find the most comfortable high heel you can before you break them in.

As my name suggests wearing high heeled shoes is something I know about lol! Firstly I have found from past experience that the more I pay for a shoe the more comfortable it tends to be. The more expensive shoes usually have padding in all the right places - where the ball of your foot hits the sole is particularly important to be padded because that's where your foot will start hurting when wearing high heels. If you get a pair of high heels that don't have padding then you can buy little pads (the name of them escapes me at the moment but it will come to me) that you can put inside your shoes which will help. They're not as effective as having padding built into the shoe but they do make a difference. Also when you're buying high heels it's essential to get a really good fit - particularly as far as the width of the shoes goes. Your toes shouldn't be scrunched in them, that means your foot is sliding forward in your shoes which shouldn't happen if they are the correct width and length for your feet. As for walking in them that just comes with practice. I have to say I can walk for miles in high heels but I have a high instep which helps and also I've worn them for years so I'm used to them. Flat shoes are more likely to hurt my feet and be uncomfortable to wear. But having said all that I have had shoes that have nearly killed my feet, even ones that were pretty expensive. Some shoes just aren't made for walking (or standing even) and are just meant to look good. Strappy high heeled sandals tend to be the worst offenders for that.

Well I started to wear heels when I was 9 and they're not painful once you get used to them, If you want hints then maybe the pair you bought wasn't a good pair. And when you walk, don't think of your heels. And when you go around don't think it hurts, walk normally so you don't look funny. If you don't like to wear heels for a really ling time, why don't you buy those Chloe shoes which you can fold the heels. When you don't feel like you want heels just unfold the heel and no one expects a thing. And when you wear heels your feet are always scrunched, I think you should wear heels more often so that you'll get used to them^_^.

Oooh, you're not alone! I hate high heels. I have my no-fail pair that I swear I bought 10 years ago (good thing they're still stylish!). I've tried to buy new heels, but end up in pain. I'm the same as the PP, I cannot wear thin-heeled shoes - I will break my ankle. I've also had 2 back surgeries and cannot wear very high heels. I will be unable to walk for weeks if I try! Sorry you had so much trouble...

I say to he!! with high heels. They are torture devices that can cause a body a great deal of pain! I am not gifted with great balance and tetering on a tiny heel all night is not my idea of fun. Give me a flat shoe with a slight flat heel and I am good to go. Comfort comes way before style. What is style if you haven't got comfort?

It has been forever since I wore many heels. I do find that about 1 1/2 inch heels relieves the heel pain I have been experiencing, and it is not too bad on my knees. I select rather boxy toes, never pointy.What I wear is called a classic pump. It sounds like you need a special insole to keep your foot from slipping forward. Have a few minutes practice daily until you are sure of yourself in your shoes. It sounds like you are in for a really special evening.

I have few pairs of high heels, but on daily bases I don't like to wear it. If you walk everyday on heels, than you don't have a problem. It takes training to do it right.... I love my Uggs....:)

For me to be comfortable, I don't wear skinny heels. I will wear a cork heel, a block heel, and semi regular high heel. But I cannot balance on one skinny stick of a heel. I'm almost six feet tall, and I think that was God's way of telling me that I was not meant to wear those skinny high heels. : ) But my mom puts a shoe insert into hers, and that makes them more comfortable to her.

Don't mind me but I'm laughing in hysterics. Ah, the dilemma of the high heeled shoe. This is precisely why I don't ever wear them. Once when I was in high school (during the Civil War years..LOL) I decided to be fancy and got myself high heels...Well let me tell you, I wore those suckers once and only once and vowed never to wear high heels every again. Now I realize that maybe this dress is real "dressy" and yes high heels would look great, but I still think even a nice dressy-type pump shoe would have done just as well as a high heeled shoe. The heel is usually no more than 1 or 1-1/2 inches, and the toe isn't so narrow. I don't gussy up that much myself, but I do have a few outfits, long skirts that are "dressy" and the pump shoes look every bit as good as heels

Hi,there! Frankly speaking,I prefer sports shoes to high heels.I also feel it's not very comfortable.Nowadays I still wear some sports shoes very often.I just feel convenient and comfortable with them:) But many of my friends as well as my mum tell me that I should learn to wear high heels.They say one looks different when she wears high heels and it gives others' nice impression.So I'm trying right now and usually I prefer to start with those high heels which are not very thin.They could support you better.Then if you're good at them,then maybe you can try the thin ones.Best regards and have a nice weekend^_^

I have very fat and short feet. This makes shoe shopping a pain. Usually if it fits the feet width wise it is way too long. I struggle to find dress shoes especially. They aren't made in wide sizes as often as other shoes and they often aren't wide enough when they are labeled "W". This makes fitting shoes very hard. Often they hurt my feet a lot because they don't fit well. Then I am a tad klutzy which makes walking in high heels a pain. I do it every now and again, but if I can I wear a nice pair of sandals. This doesn't work for really dressy situations, but it does for moderately dressy ones...

P.S. How do I get through a night in heels? Every time I sit down at a table, I pop them off and don't put them back on until I have to get up! Or, just wait until everyone is drunk and walk around barefoot...lol.

LOL I know what you mean:) I think it's a matter of being used to. When I was back home I used to dress different from now. I always used to wear nice clothes even for work, makeup and.. yes high heels. It didn't bother me one bit and I felt very comfortable with them. Then I came here. My life was a bit different for one. Also I got the habit of taking my shoes off when I come in, which is something we didn't really do back home.I also settled in a more relaxed and informal style of clothes that would go well with flats or even running shoes. Now, so many years being used to comfortable shoes I do have a bit of a problem if I wear high heels. I can walk fine, but my poor feet complain after the first minutes:) I have no hints, I'm sorry, other than telling you to just use them a bit and it will feel right soon :)

ack! I've never been one to wear heels - I am fairly tall (5'10") and not very delicate or graceful - I always felt like an ogre in high heels. I would just wear a ballet style slipper for a dressy dress (what I wore under my wedding gown) or a loafer or pump for more casual affairs.

I don't like wearing high heels at all. My feet will be so painful after that. I need to have a rest for a week so that my feet will feel better.

You said like me when im shopping for shoes. Going to store after store looking for a pair of shoes that will fit. I wear a size 10 so it takes me forever to find a pair of dress shoes that will fit. I hate wearing heels. And i dont find them comfortable at all. I can barely even walk in them. I dont know of anything you can do to make them not hurt. I usually take them off when im sitting down. That way my feet quits hurting at least for a little bit.

try getting a 1/2 size bigger and use baby powder in them.

Asking about me am really into high heels. I love it a lot it really makes your walk so sexy...am sorry about your reactions towards heels. Well if you wanna get used to it you must have to try it every now and then until you'll get into that. And try to select a very light heeled shoe. So that you wouldn't find it so hard to wear. Once you're used to it , you'll notice your foot looks so nice. And very sexy Go Girl!!!! I know you can make it! :-)
