5 Uncomfortable heels you need to avoid
You know you’re tired of feeling uncomfortable in your heels. This article will make it easier for you to pick out your next sassy heels. We all know that heels can be torturous especially if you don’t know how to shop for comfortable & cute heels.
In this read, I’m showing you 5 types of heels you need to skip all over for the sake of being comfortable.
Sky High Stilettos
Stiletto heels may look like they came straight from fashion heaven, but don't be misled – most of the time, they hurt like hell.
When picking stiletto heels for your next outfit, make sure the heels are not higher than 10 cm/4 inches. High stilettos are harder to balance on compared to block heels, resulting in painful ankles, ball of feet pain and simply slowing you down
Heels higher than 10cm/4'' will put a lot of pressure on the balls of your feet because your weight shifts to the forepart of your feet.
These sky-high heels can be extremely painful especially if you’re not used to wearing heels. So, it's best to stay on the safer side and go for stilettos that are under 10cm/4'' high. If you're unsure of what heel height you can handle this is how you can find the perfect heel height for you.
Thin Strapped Heels
Thin strapped heels may catch your eye with their elegance, but don't be fooled. Once your feet swell, these straps can become a nightmare. Every step sends sharp pains shooting through your skin as they mercilessly dig in, leaving painful indentations and even cuts. Who needs this agony?
Not only do these thin straps cut into your skin, but they also provide minimal support for your tired feet. It's almost as if they were made for looks alone, disregarding your comfort. Trust me, you don't want to subject yourself to this torture.
So next time you're shopping for heels, resist the allure of thin straps. Opt for thicker ones that provide both comfort and style. Protect your skin and give your feet the support they deserve. After all, no amount of beauty is worth sacrificing your comfort.
Super High Platform Heels
High-platform heels are hot these days, instantly elevating your style with added height. But, let's not overlook the potential downsides. Remember Naomi Campbell's mishap in Vivienne Westwood heels? Although an iconic moment, it highlights the instability of high platforms.
The truth is, the higher the platform, the more unstable your steps become. Each additional centimetre/inch challenges your balance, especially when coupled with a stiletto heel.
To avoid feeling unbalanced, limit your platform height to no more than 3cm or 1 inch. Remember, it's not just about reaching new heights; it's about feeling confident in your heels. If you need help finding your perfect heel height check out this article on how to know your most comfy heel height.
Narrow Pointed Heels
Finding the perfect pair of pointy pumps can be a challenge. While they are an important staple in a woman’s wardrobe, they can also be comfortable if you consider a few important factors.
It starts with:
Knowing your correct shoe size. By understanding your precise measurements, you can ensure a better fit and avoid discomfort.
But it's not just about length;You also need to determine the correct width measurements of your feet. This will help you find the best fit.
Avoid pointy heels with a too-narrow fit, as they can cause foot problems like bunions, corns, and disfigurements.
To prioritize finding the right fit, try on various pairs of heels and pay attention to the front part of the shoe. It should fit snugly and feel just right, without being too tight. By dedicating time to finding the perfect fit, you can enjoy the stylish appeal of pointy pumps without sacrificing comfort.
Perspex material
Perspex clear materials are very trendy and can be styled with every outfit, but be very aware.
These materials can be extremely painful because the plastic material doesn’t stretch or breathe at all. As soon as your feet start to swell the perspex material begins to ‘cut’ in your skin because the material doesn’t move with your movements.
For me, this was the most painful heels experience.
The last time I wore perspex heels my boyfriend had to carry me home. If you can endure extreme pain, I would say rock these perspex heels.
If you rather be comfortable, just skip this trend, all over and pick a more comfortable style.
Now you know what type of heels to avoid you can conquer the world with your comfortable heels.
