Interestingly most women accept this with a ‘grin and bear’ attitude since it is hard to ditch fabulous heels and the cackling or creaking sounds that it makes against the hard surface.

So if you just can’t let go of your fetish for high heeled shoes, then here are some tips to make your high heels comfortable. These techniques can help you wear high heels without pain.

Wear the right size
Women never opt for the right shoe size and end up purchasing the one that doesn’t support their weight properly. Your foot size can never remain the same and it changes over the years. Make sure to measure your feet when you have decided to buy high heels by focusing on the width as well as on the length. It is better to know the heel placement as this can easily support your body weight and make your high heels comfortable.

Sole Thickness
If you want to wear heels without pain, opt for shoes that have some sort of platform. And in case the high heeled shoe doesn’t have a platform, then no worries just make sure to add a gel insole. Stay away from rigid soles made out of plastic or wood as they can never make high heels comfortable.

Avoid thin soles
Heels always elongate your feet yet it is important that you pick the right ones and never opt for thin heels. Thin heels can cause your foot to wobble around. It will bring pain at the bottom of your feet. Thicker soles will try to counterbalance some of the pressure when you are walking.

If you like to go for a chunkier style, try to choose the shoe that doesn’t have thin soles. Make sure to find pairs that fit perfectly and make high heels comfortable.

Practise walking
Practise walking in high heels so that you won’t wobble when you wear them for the first time. Practise makes it perfect and you would be able to walk without the fear of walking.

Try to take breaks
To make your heels feel comfortable, remove your shoes throughout the day. It is better to stretch your ankles and toes after kicking off your shoes.

More top coverage
If you prefer to buy heels then try to pick shoes that have more coverage on the top. Shoes that have a big wide strap across the top will never bother your feet. Even high heeled boots are better as they never cause much pain on your feet and you can wear them all day long.

Baby steps
If you want to wear high heels without pain, try to take smaller steps so that there will be less pressure on your feet. Moreover long strides can add extra weight whenever you take each step and eventually this causes more chance of getting aches and pains.

Tape trick
To make your high heels comfortable, try to tape your 3rd and 4th toe together with a medical tape. This would allow your feet to fit properly in your shoes and will give certain balance to walk without fear of aches.
