High Heels

Death to the misogynistic *kitten* who invented these torture devices!!!!!!! Why can't they make us look dead sexy AND be comfortable?!?!

Dr Scholls makes inserts for heels.

They work like a hot-damn.

This is why I like wedges, they look high but they're not really

Heels I can live with. The man who invented panty hose needs to be strung up with a pair of them...

Amen.

I'm hoping that I will again be able to wear cfm's once I lose most of my weight....they won't be on my feet long any way..or at least I won't be on my feet long.:smokin:

Apparently when women wear heels it makes their bums look 'taught and ready for mating'

Do they look funky with open-toed heels though?

Yes indeed. I have a pair of open toed black satin shoes (super friggin' cute), and they're wonderful. They stick onto the shoe, and support the ball and arch of your foot.

I can do a 3/4 inch heel no problem, but little kitten heels kill me...... I walk on my tip toes in bare feet so I am used to the arching!

Don't buy heels that are uncomfortable. Find a heel that is sexy but stable. They are out there.

Granted, this is easy for me to say. As a woman with extraordinarily high arches (people ask regularly if I was ever a dancer/ballerina), heels are more comfortable for me than flats are.

Also arch supports are amazing things.

And the woman who suggested wedges is on point too. 5'' wedges are so stable you'd swear you weren't wearing a heel at all. Even my mother who has MS can rock a wedge!

I totally agree i LOVE my high arches! :happy:

In my experience, guess brand heels r the best for comfort

LOL, the wife of the Duke of Orleans, Catherine de Medici commissioned a cobbler in 1533 to design shoes with taller heels since she was "diminutive" in stature. Leonardo da Vinci supposedly designed shoes with high heels, but high heels were originally designed as an aid to military men who complained about their feet slipping out of the stirrups when riding horses into battle. Ok, class dismissed.

I have ridiculously high arches too, but I agree that heels should never be uncomfortable. It just takes some searching to find the right ones.

The best thing about wedges is that they last forever! I love heels but they wear down so quickly.

But it makes her look good when she brings me my beer and sammich. :smokin:

Buy high quality shoes, they tend to be cut better and be more comfortable. Leather shoes (unless you are against leather and animal skins) tend to breathe best and won't rub your feet. Insoles and adding rubber to the bottom of your shoes at the cobbler are the best things you can do when you buy a new pair. The higher the heels, you may need to go up half a size for your feet to fit comfortably. Some cobblers will add inserts and extra cushioning on the balls of your feet if the shoes are a tad big, making them more comfortable. Don't wear super high heels if you will be on your feet for long periods of time - it messes up your back and body alignment, causing pain all over. Opt for shoes with a covered platform so that you get the illusion of more height, but with a less high arch in your foot. Have your shoe salesperson or cobbler stretch leather shoes that are a bit tight, as some shoes can take a bit of time to wear into them.
