High heels…the most common and integral part of every women’s
wardrobe. We do love the way classy high heels make us look. Tall, modern and of course sexy. But the health problems associated with
heels are never ending. We may see Angelina and Nicole kidman wearing 4 inch heels and running around in screen but it
is not so easy in real life. Here are a few tips to avoid pain from heels-
- Use an antiperspirant – even if your sole helps in reducing sweat and absorbing it, a little bit of moisture in the air can cause the straps of your shoes or sandals to irritate and chafe your skin. Thus resulting in blisters.
- Most important of all, Buy shoes that fits! Even a a few extra pounds can alter your shoe size.
- Buy leather shoes and avoid synthetic. Leather is more easygoing
- Always buy shoes at evenings. Swelling can cause dramatic change in shoe sizes.
- Avoid really high heels. If you use heels in your day to day life, don’t exceed your heels by 3 inch.
- Wear a regular heel height. Unstable heel height can effect your Achilles tendon
- Get a regular pedicure.
- Stretch your toes in regular intervals. This helps improve blood circulation to your toes which are the poor bearers of your heels’ cruelty.
- Core strengthening exercises will help calm down your feet after wearing heels
- Dip your feet in warm salted water for about ten mins. after that, gently massage your feet using a pain reliever (if you experience severe pain) or massage a moisturizing lotion to help your skin and feet be relieved of the stress from heels.
