How to wear high heels without pain

1.    The Thicker the Heel, the Better
Avoid thin heels: the stilettos. They cause your foot to wobble around. Sometimes, the dress is just going to call for a stiletto, as long as it’s something that’s occasional. If you’re wearing stilettos every day, you might want to consider a chunkier heel style and change it up a bit.


2.    Avoid Thin Soles, Opt Instead for a Platform
Thin soles will almost always give you pain on the bottom of your foot. You want a thicker sole or a little bit of a platform, which will offset some of the pressure when you’re walking. A rubbery material will absorb that pressure.


3.    Stretch Your Feet After You Take Your Shoes Off
The stretches that you’ll want to do are the stretches that will target the front of the foot and ankle, like pointing your toes down, and pulling your toes up with a strap to get the Achilles’ tendon and the calf muscles. And then side to side to get to the instep and the outside of the foot.


4.    Take Breaks
Kick your shoes off throughout the day and stretch your ankles and toes.
