A woman heels is
trendy, chic, confident and phenomenal. She walks into the room and heads turn.
She knows what she wants and gets it. High heels, according to research boost
confidence. But as she grows older, it becomes somewhat of a problem to wear
heels given her physical deterioration with age. There’s never really a time to
give up heels, but, learning the trick to wearing heels will help maintain that
chic and confident person she has always been.
KNOW YOUR FOOT TYPE
The best way to know
your foot is to visit a podiatrist. But another technique is by wetting a construction
paper and making an impression, this will show you how much your feet are
flattening or how high an arch you have. This will determine your foot type.
WEAR THE RIGHT SIZE
OF SHOES
A large number of
women wear the wrong shoe sizes. The fact is over the years, your feet size changes.
For women giving birth and even adding weight affect this as well. So, it’s
advisable to have the feet measured when buying shoes to determine the width
and length as well
THE THICKER THE HEEL
THE BETTER
As much as we love
the stilettos, when one gets older, it’s best to ditch them to avoid complications
to the knees and feet; instead opt for thicker heels like the box heels or
wedges.
KNOW WHAT KIND OF
SHOES TO WEAR OUT
Wearing heels
everyday and everywhere may hurt your feet, knees and even your back. Knowing what
kind of shoes to wear out can go a long way to allowing you wear heels for
longer. So for shopping trips or parties opt for low heels of average length of
about 1.5 inches or shorter. For weddings for a dinner date, and so on, heels
of about medium height say 1.5 to 3.5 inches work well. But, if you must for
fashion’s sake, wear heels of 3.5 inches or taller, try to stand in them for no
longer than an hour, at a time
TAKE BREAKS
Don’t be ashamed to
take off your shoes for a few minutes during the day, give them a chance to
breathe and stretch to allow for blood circulation
FOOT MASSAGE
At the end of the
day, roll a golf ball on the bottom of your feet to promote movement and
strengthen the small muscles of your feet, two things that don’t happen when
you’re wearing heels.
