Some if not most women like to wear heels without feeling the pain, to wear them anywhere comfortably and not having to experience a wobbly walk.
We should be able to walk, stand or run if we have to while wearing heels and not get the bonus pain of your feet feeling swollen after you take them off.
Strive Physiotherapist and performance suggests ways you can look at to hack the science of the body to work for you:
Choosing the right heel for you.
When choosing the right heels, you should pay attention to how the heel of your stiletto is placed on your shoe. The right way in order for your feet to feel less pressure, you should choose heels that are located further in on the shoe.
Ones that leave your body in pain where you end up struggling to walk in them are the ones that are placed at the end of the heel.
How to wear heels and miss the pain
Shoes are generally tight when they are new or if you haven’t worn them in a while, the trick is to stretch them as much as you can before wearing them for a long time.
For example, you can try to wear thick socks around the house while having your heels on, you can use a blow dryer to loosen them up, or you can put a bag of ice in the heels.
Important tip: your feet need to slightly be able to move around the shoe, the more you stretch your shoe the better.
Having a good posture
Goodwives recommend a good poster “Have a good posture and stand tall and straight. Engage your abdominal muscles, keep your shoulders back, and secure long hair behind your shoulders. This helps if you have any pain in the balls of your feet to counterbalance your weight back onto the heels and prevent back pain.”
Hack your way into comfortable heels
- Tape two toes off your feet, second and third toe from the smallest one.
- Get a padded liner, but make sure the feet are not too tight on the shoe after the padded liners.
- Exercise your ankles before wearing heels to avoid a wobbly walk.
