heels

I would doubt it. When I was skinny for my height heels hurt. It can relieve a lot of the pressure on joints, so your joints might hurt less. But I doubt it would do anything for wearing high heels.

us gals sure do love our heels and I'm sorry to say it but we have to endure the pain! I find that insoles can help and also those little gel pads 'Angel feet' really help take the pressure of the balls of the feet. You probably get them for the heels as well?
As I get older I try to be sensible and only wear them if I'm not going to be walking a lot but I have seen me wear them for a days shopping and being in agony, but I don't feel dressed up unless I'm wearing my heels lol

I would imagine that it might have something to do with the quality of the shoe. Not to sound like a shoe snob, but my Clarks and Bandolinos, while a little pricier, have always done right by me. The $19.99 Payless, as cute as they are, I find either cause back or leg pain. I can spend a week training/teaching in my Clarks and be fine. I can go out to a dinner party in cheap shoes and need to kick them off under the table when I sit down. And those dang skyscraper heels? Yeah. I haven't found a pair I can wear for long periods of time.

I think losing weight probably does make *some* difference, but the thing I really noticed is that when my core muscles are stronger, walking in heels becomes MUCH easier and more comfortable.

I don't go any higher than 5 inches. All my shoes are 5 inches. Also having really small feet makes the incline so much more painful.

Try buying heels with a slightly thicker heel and slight platform and less incline. It doesn't hurt as much Hmmm i can't describe what i mean without pictures haha

No, but wearing them less often does, and will benefit your health.

I LOVE HEELS! Any height and I wear them daily! I will even run after my son in them:) They do not usually hurt my feel but for my super tall ones I put special insoles so my feet do not slide around so much. Maybe that would help the pain?

Nope. I wear ridicously amazing high heels and they still hurt! But nothing looks better than a great pair of heels!

Yes it did for me I used to wear heels a lot when I was smaller and yes they still hurt but I could almost last a night out in them but now I'm bigger I always have to put some flats in my handbag because after a few hours it's just too painful!

Yes! I haven't worn them for years and I am proud to say I wore 3" heels all day yesterday!!! It's amazing to feel feminine again!

Just wearing heels on a regular basis makes them less painful for me.

It absolutely does make it less painful.

I wear heels at work 5 days a week and have noticed a huge difference since I have dropped some weight.

What helped me was wearing "barefoot technology" shoes while working legs (weight lifting; lunges, calf raises, etc). Nike Free, Keen, Inov-8 are a few brands that make such shoes. They are light and very flexible. This strengthened my feet muscles and I can comfortably wear heels way higher than I could when I was young!

For sure. I fluctuate in a 20 pound range and when I'm at the top of it, I feel like it's so much harder to drag my *kitten* up the stairs. When I'm lighter it is much easier.

But yeah, it's mostly about the quality of the shoes. Quit buying cheap heals and get yourself some real leather. Actually quite comfortable when you break them in.
