Many women adore their high-heeled Jimmy Choos or Manolos, but wearing high fashion heels could be hazardous to your health. If you know when to don your fashionable footwear and how often, you could save yourself from corns, hammertoes, arthritis, chronic knee pain and even back problems. Learn how to prevent foot problems, how to save your health and still look fashionable doing so.
When to wear them
One of the biggest issues women face is looking professional at work and many think heels are a must to compliment that power suit. A great tip would be to wear your tennis shoes (especially if your commute involves a lot of walking) to work and bring your heels. If you are at a desk all day long, then wearing heels isn¡¯t a problem. However, if you are in a job where you stand on your feet all day long, find a fashionable flat shoe.
Now, if you have a date or an event after work, wear flats all day and switch to heels later and vice versa. You¡¯ll not only feel better at your after-work event, but your feet will thank you later. If you¡¯re smart about it, you can get away with wearing your Jimmy Choos, without feeling the pain. Also, many of the big designers do a flat shoe or a shoe with a smaller heel of about 2¡±. This would work great for the office. Another great tip is to not wear high heels every single day. Alternate the days, which will make your life much more comfortable.
Tennis shoes are more fashionable
Designers are now making tennis shoes much more comfortable and attractive. You could also get away with wearing tennis shoes to the office if they are the right shoes. Look for black tennis shoes that will blend in with your trousers and black sports jacket. Wearing these is great for your foot health and can prevent some of the most major foot issues associated with heels.
Tips:
Only get what you are comfortable with. If you can pull off a 3¡± heel and it is comfortable to you, then go for it.
Take a look at your lifestyle. Determine if you can alter it a bit. There¡¯s nothing wrong with wearing tennis shoes to the office and bringing your high-powered heels if that is what you feel comfortable with.
If you have that much wanted high arched foot (should¡¯ve taken those ballet classes) then you are in for a surprise because many times higher arched feet find more comfort in high heels.
Plan ahead: if you know you are going to be walking all over town, bring a spare comfortable pair to get you through it.
Both shoe styles have their pros and cons, but if you take a good look at how you can prevent serious health issues, then you are on your way to creating a comfortable lifestyle. And, remember it doesn¡¯t take high or low heels to be fashionable; it¡¯s the whole package. The most important aspect of style is dressing for you. Remember, family first, health and then fashion.
