How to reduce pain when wearing heels

Pulse Blogger Coco Phemie talks gives advice on our to wear heels properly so it doesn't hurt your feet

High heels

High heels are amazing, need I say more. Throw on the right pair when you’re casually, formally or plain ridiculously dressed and voila!

What a transformation. The right pair of heels is almost the best fashion accessory second only to great confidence (and an amazing smile). I have a habit of grouping feet candy into 3 categories; wearable, huggable and frame worthy! I have a special preference for Gianvito Rossi shoes. Some of his works are so beautiful that I might be convinced they taste as good as they look.

Nevertheless, these amazing works of art come at a cost. I am not referring to the hefty cash exchanged for them. I speak of a pain many have experienced and few have conquered. According to a recent study survey by the College of Podiatry, it takes one hour, six minutes and 48 seconds for our high heels to start hurting. Truth is most of the extremely pretty pairs take less time to introduce the ultimate sting.

Wearing high heels improperly can cause a lot of physical pain and may even pose serious risks to one’s overall health over time. This, however, does not mean we all have to bring our heels out to the city square, set them on fire and dance around them with hands raised high. We only need to learn that there is a right way to wear them so we do not hurt when the sun sets.
