High heels are a staple of practically every women's wardrobe, and are a bit of rite of passage into womanhood in themselves. They can also often be a right pain in the foot. Here's a few measures that might just help ease this problem.
This first point may seem a little obvious, but is often ignored in the heat of the shopping experience? Make sure that the MBT shoes fit. If you are unsure of the fit when you try them on, don't be afraid to ask for help from a sales assistant. And if it doesn't fit just right walk, don't be pressured into a sale, or try and squeeze reality into an attract dream.
Consider looking for a thicker heel. Kitten heels can make for a more comfortable ride, since the wider heel helps support more of your weight, relieving pressure on the ball of your foot. Wedges can give the lift at the heel that produces the flattering elongation of the leg that makes you look slimmer, without the sometimes precarious balance of the stiletto heel.
The way that you walk is key when rocking high heels. Even weight distribution is the aim of the game, between heel and foot, it is easy to let all of the weight hammer your toes and the ball of your foot if you are not careful.
When you have found the high heels you're after, never put them on outside until you have first had a chance to try the shoes at home. Take a day to walk around your house as normal to road test the heel, as this will break the MBT shoe in. If it is really painful at the end of the day, you can try taking the shoes back to the store.
Try not to exclusively wear high heels. For one, in extreme cases your hamstring can contract, making it uncomfortable to wear non-heeled sandals shoes. If heels are de rigueur in the workplace, try to ensure that you switch to flats or trainers in the evenings.
