When Good Shoes Make You Feel Bad

Share

Over the last few months there have been several posts in regard to shoes for my wife and how she has been all but permanently sidelined from wearing a heel taller than 2″.  Part of the problem is an injury suffered while we went camping back in the Fall and part is being hard headed and not resting the injured knee.

If you have the same problem there are a few things you can do in order to wear sexy trendy shoes without having to resort only to shoes with no heel and very little overall support for your foot.

  1. Don’t throw your high heels out
  2. Make pumps instead of stilettos your friend
  3. Make sure “wide heel” is in your vocabulary
  4. Find two or three brands you are comfortable with and expand your style choices
  5. Only wear your higher heels on special occasions
  6. Carry some of your most comfortable shoes with you if you are going to be doing lots of walking
  7. Accept some of the most comfortable shoes may not be the most sexy
  8. Invest the time and effort to find a cobbler in your area to repair any worn shoes
  9. Spend a little more on your shoes to ensure quality
  10. Become great friends with Ibuprofen and Tylenol

There is no reason you should be miserable in order to put on the appearance of having a great looking pair of shoes to go with a special outfit.  Giving it a little thought will save you some money and save you trips to the doctors office to deal with sore painful feet.  If you take care of your feet your feet will take care of you.

  1. I’ve encountered this problem over the past year. However, I’ve just recently started wearing my heels again. Basically I wear a lot of 3″ heels or less, keep a pair of flats close and incorporated wider heels into my shoe wardrobe. I even had to come to grips with the fact that I can only wear shoes from certain brands. I like Naturalizer, Aerosoles and Nine West.

    Good article!!!! Wish I had this a year ago.
