(Thanks to SteadyHealth.com) A pair of high heel shoes that fit your feet perfectly will help you from having foot troubles and other problems in life. Let's quote a part of this story: Some good tips for you You should never wear high heels all day long. When you are shopping shoes do it in the afternoon or evening. Why? Feet become a little bigger in the afternoon because of accumulation. Your shoes need to be comfortable for you. You should try shoes on both of your feet, because sometimes one foot may be larger than the other. Measure shoes while you are standing. Making sure the shoe fits properly is essential. Flat shoes are not the ideal for foot and leg health. Low heels are best for you. The healthiest shoes for women are those with fairly wide heels that are no more than a half or three-quarters of an inch in height. You should know that pain and other foot problems are less likely to occur if high heels are worn as infrequently as possible and are replaced by sneakers or flats as much as possible. Wearing extremely high heels can damage the feet, especially if the toes are pointed, or the shoes are too tight. Damage can sometimes be so extreme that the sufferer can never wear any high heel ever again. Starting with lower heels and practicing for short lengths of time, gradually building up the height and time will help to prevent shin splints. You should warm up the muscles before each wearing of high heels. The calf muscles should be stretched and exercised on a regular basis. Before putting heels on you should run on the spot for a few minutes to warm up your muscles. After wearing your high heels for an extended period you should stand with your legs apart barefoot on the floor. Keeping your legs straight, bend at the hips and try to touch your toes. You should have warm-up and cool-down exercises every time you wear high heels. If you feel any pain in your ankles or feet while wearing your high heels, take them off immediately. Sometimes is best to not wear high heels at all. Let's see how practical this is. Doing a bit of exercise every morning before putting on your high heels is not that hard, although it does take time. To avoid problems later in life, I think this is worth doing. I have an idea for the ladies out there who wear high heels for their job. If you have an office job that doesn't require standing up all the time, bring a pair of sneakers or flats to work so you can change underneath your desk. You can also put a pair of flat shoes in your car so you can drive more safely. This will also relief foot pain if you wear heels all day long. If you have to work whole day and wear heels, then when you take a break, you can take your shoes off and change into flat shoes or sneakers with good support for your feet. The best thing to do is invest in a pair of beautiful flat shoes that are formal and can be worn all day. When you need to meet an important client, you can change into your high heels. The article also mentioned that a flat pair of shoes are not the best for your feet since your feet need good support and padding because you are walking and standing all the time. This is true. When you work in a dangerous environment, for example, in a construction site or dealing with chemicals, you have to wear thick protective shoes so if an accident happens, you will not be injured. Take time to find the pair of shoes that make you feel comfortable next time you shop. I remember looking at a photo where a celebrity wore a pair of high heel shoes that are two sizes too small for her. It was excruciating just looking at the photo! Ladies, I hope you find that pair of shoes that make you happy and pretty, not painful and sick.
