    I'm hoping so....and a pair of Louboutins are my reward for reaching goal! They'd better be comfy! lol

    Louboutins KILL! They pretty much bent my feet backwards when I tried on a friend's pair for kicks (no way could I afford my own) and I don't normally have a problem with heels.

    It depends where they hurt and how... I still get blisters with new heels and I still get pain in the balls of my feet. Especially the higher the heel. You're still putting through a good ratio of your body weight through a very small contact area (ball of foot) so pressure there is immense.

    No, at my heaviest and my lightest they've always hurt. I love how they look, but they're so uncomfortable.

    anyone else have this issue? I wear heels all the time and I have no problem with them hurting my feet. My shoes usually cost a lot but not as much as Louboutins.

    I usually wear a 3 1/2 inch heel a couple times a week and do alot of walking in them and standing. Go to zappos.com and search for Sofft brand shoes...they are the BEST for comfort and also very stylish. I can't wear cheap heels, not even for a few minutes. If you spend a little more and get good shoes, you will be comfy and sexxy at the same time.

    I do think they have gotten more comfortable now that I am losing, although they are still a painful ***** to break in

    Im a big lover of shoes, but when im bigger, i feel really self conscious in them, i feel like a giant (im 5ft7 normally so not overly tall), but when im smaller, i just feel like a i look good! Dont know if that makes any sense! x

    i have some heels that i cant physically fit into now because im a bit heavier so looking forward to wearing them again one day! but i dont think weight losses make walking in heels any easier

    Generally speaking wedges chunkier heeled shoes and boots provide better all round support.

    Yes, when you lose a bit more weight there will be less pressure on your feet. That being said you will not be pain free.

    Just like with running shoes you sometimes have to invest a little more in a high quality high heel shoe if you want something that will be more comfortable. Jessica Simpson has some really good shoes that are sexy and have high heels but also have extra padding in the front of the toe and arch... Higher quality brands will also have more support (usually)... If not, you can always get some orthopedic inserts for your sexy heels...that might help. :)

    If you're going to do platform heels, make sure the platform is cork based. Much more comfortable and the cork absorbs the shock of each step.

    do you have small feet? i'm a UK size 4 and super high heels kill me more than longer footed people. Its because the heel height is the same no matter what your shoe size so people with smaller feet have to strain and arch more.

    heels always hurt a little, but at the risk of offending every feminist bone in my body, they're hot and they're worth it.
    Exactly :)


    agreed! heels make me feel so much slimmer and more confident than flats

    I wear heels everyday, but I had to work my way up to that. Before I built up some stamina my feet would ache for hours! Go for wedges and shorter heels before going all out on a delicious pair of stilettos.

    That piece of advice pretty much saved me!

    I've thrown a load out but now only have around 50 pairs of shoes ranging in all sorts of styles, for my bodyshape and height platform peep toes are most flattering so I have a good few pairs of these, I've bought from many different shops/outlets and quality has made a difference.

    I have bought very cheap to average priced shoes and at the end of a night i've been wanting to chew my own ankle off to save the pain. But i found spending a little bit more makes all the difference, My Carvela's are soo comfy in comparison and even a pair of TopShop shoes are very comfy... I am still a bargain hunter and get most of my Carvela's or dearer brands from TKMaxx! They cost the same as general retails stores but you get a better quality :)

    That being said I cannot wear pointy shoes as my toes die in them so I'm sure any brand in that style would kill my feet whether they were Primark or Jimmy Choo.

    Random question, but ladies at goal weight. Are heels more comfortable now that you have lost your weight? I love my heels but god they hurt......should i be looking forward to pain free feet when i hit my gaol?

    I found heels were a lot easier to wear when I weighed less!

    I cant wait for the day I can wear a pair of heels and it feels good!! Or at least a little easier on the ankle once I lose this weight :)

    I have never found them comfortable. I know a lot of women here have lost a lot more weight than I have, but 20 lbs down from my highest weight, they have not gotten any more comfortable.

    But then again, I'm only 124 right now; if they're not comfy for me now, 1) I may just be a big baby, and 2) I doubt they ever will be.

    I'm in the process right now of investing in a killer flats collection. They look great with skinny jeans!

    After losing about 50lbs, I noticed my heels were alot more comfortable and was able to get bigger heels. Still only wear them to work and to go out though.

    Cole Haan is another comfy brand. They hit all of the discount stores if you look around. My staying power is twice as long in my Cole Haan than most others.

    I bought a pair of 4 in heels with a platform from Target a few weeks ago. I could not believe how easy they were for me to walk in and not bad on my foot. I used to wear them before I packed on the weight and now that I am closer to goal weight I feel better in them. I'm sure if I wore them all day they would still hurt but I only wear them to church or a night on the town. I hated and refused to wear them before.

    I LOVE my heels. I wear them at any weight, the truth in shoes, the better quality the less they hurt, and also get a platform it can be a hidden platform and it evens out the pressure. I have a pair of 4 inch to the eye but with the platform there a good two, but know one can tell the difference.
