- Harm that high heels can cause
To wear a beautiful high heel without getting pain in your back, legs and feet, you need to be careful when buying. The ideal is to choose a very comfortable high-heeled shoe that has a padded insole and does not press on the heel, instep or toes.
Another tip that can help you choose the right high heels, is to buy shoes at the end of the day, when your feet are a little swollen, because then the person will know that on party days or at times when they need to wear high heels all day, they will be adapted to these situations.
The best tricks to wear high heels without suffering are:
1. Wear a heel with a maximum of 5 cm
The high heel of the shoe should not exceed 5 centimeters in height, because this way the weight of the body is better distributed over the entire foot. If the heel exceeds 5 centimeters, an insole should be placed on the instep, inside the shoe, to balance the height a little.
2. Choosing a comfortable shoe
When choosing high heels, he should completely wrap his foot, without squeezing or pressing any part of the foot. The best ones are those that are padded and that when you bend your toes, you feel the shoe's fabric giving a little.
In addition, you can also adapt an insole to make the shoe more comfortable.
3. Wear a thicker heel
The heel of the shoe should be as thick as possible, because the weight of the body that falls on the heel is better distributed and there is less risk of twisting the foot.
If the person does not resist a stiletto heel, they should choose a shoe that is not too loose on the foot, so that it does not slide and train a lot to balance and not fall, or twist the foot.
4. Walk 30 minutes before leaving home
The ideal when going out in high heels is to walk about 30 minutes at home, because that way the feet adapt better. If the person cannot stand the shoe during that time, it means that they will also not be able to stand with it on their feet all day or night.
5. Wear high heels with rubber soles
The high heels of the shoe should preferably be made of rubber or if it doesn't come from the factory, a good option is to put a rubberized sole on a shoemaker.
This type of sole is more comfortable for walking, because as it cushions the impact of jumping with the floor, it makes the touch of the foot more comfortable.
6. Place insoles inside the shoe
Another tip to improve comfort is to put silicone insoles inside the shoe, which can be purchased at shoe stores, at the pharmacy or over the internet.
The ideal is to try the insole inside the shoe to be used, because the sizes vary a lot, or to buy a custom-made insole, indicated by an orthopedist and made according to the size of the foot and the main pressure points on the foot.
7. Take off your shoe
If the person has to spend all day with the shoe, should take it out from time to time, if possible, to rest for a while or to support the instep on a pile of books or newspapers or to place in another chair can be a good option too.
8. Wear a shoe with anabela heels
Wearing a shoe with an Anabela heel or with a platform in front to compensate for the height of the heel is much more comfortable and the person is less likely to suffer from back or foot pain.
9. Wear high heels a maximum of 3 times a week
The ideal is to combine the use of high heels with the use of another more comfortable shoe to give your feet time to rest, but if it is not possible, one should choose shoes with different heights.
10. Avoid shoes with a very pointed toe
One should avoid wearing shoes with a very pointed toe , giving preference to those that fully support the instep without pressing the toes. If the person has to wear even a pointed toe shoe, they should buy a larger number than yours, to ensure that the fingers are not tight.
If foot pain continues to develop, see how to scald your feet and how to massage your aching feet.
Harm that high heels can cause
Wearing very high heels can hurt your feet, damage your ankles, knees and spine, causing deformities and posture changes that can be serious and require specific treatment. This is because the weight of the body is not properly distributed on the foot and as there is a change in the center of gravity of the body, there is a tendency to throw the shoulders back and the head forward, and to increase lumbar lordosis, changing the positioning of the body. column.
Some examples of changes that excessive wearing of high heels, without following the guidelines above, can cause are:
- Bunion; Bad posture; Pain in the back and feet; Shortening in the 'potato of the leg', which causes pain in this region when removing the heel; Decreased flexibility of the Achilles tendon; Calcaneal spur; Claw fingers, calluses and ingrown nails, Tendonitis or bursitis in the foot.
However, the use of flip flops and flat sandals are also harmful to the spine, because in this case 90% of the body weight falls only on the heel, so it is advisable to wear comfortable shoes that have 3 to 5 cm of heel. Slippers should only be used at home, flat shoes for quick outings and sneakers are suitable for daily wear and physical activity, but they should also have a good sole to absorb impacts.
