If you’re a lover of heels but also a lover of comfort, you don’t have to find yourself caught between a rock and a hard place. There are a bunch of ways you can make even the highest pair of killer heels more comfortable. Here are some of our best tips.
Wear Them In
Before you hit the club, practice walking around the house in them. Put on a pair of thick thermal socks and spend an afternoon strutting your stuff. This will help stretch the material and wear them in so when you do brave them on the dance floor, your feet are already used to them.
Moleskin
If you’ve found a pair of heels you love and can walk in, but they’re giving you blisters, don’t give in yet. Moleskin is a superb material for covering blisters or problem areas to prevent your shoes from rubbing.
Gel Inserts
If you’re shoes are a little big, you can make them fit more comfortably by slipping in some gel inserts.
Heel Grips
Alternatively, if your feet are too narrow, you can slip in some heel grips. And if they’re just too damn high…
Take Them to a Shoe Repair Shop
Most shoe repair shops will be able to shorten your heel up to a whole inch. If you love the style but they’re just a bit too tall for you to walk confidently in, get them shortened so you don’t have to suffer.
