I’m talking about the little cushions you stick near the balls of your feet that keep your feet from slipping out of high heels. Where do buy those at? I’m looking online (although I plan to go out and purchase them in a store this evening) and hardly any stores carry them! Please help!

Is it normal for high heels (four inches) not to have arch support? Are my feet just shaped funny? And does anyone know of any products that have padding designed for arch support in heels? I feel like if my heels had arch support it would be a lot more comfortable and less pressure on the balls of my feet?

Fashions in high heels change fast and women want to wear the latest designs. High heels make women look taller, slimmer and more alluring. But the price a woman has to pay to wear high heels can be pretty high. It’s not the cost of the high heels, but the damage they can do to the feet that needs to be avoided. When wearing high heels the pressure is on the toes and the balls of the feet. If pointed high heels are in fashion there is very little you can do to avoid getting a pair.

Well before you can make your high heels more tranquil; make certain you purchase the perfect high heels. Be prudent when shopping for high heels. First, make sure to get your feet measured when you go to shop for high heels. This may sound insane, but feet do grow larger with time and in pregnancy. Try and purchase a pair that has round toes.

Avoid buying pointed toes high heels if you can. If you have feet that are wide then ask for a wider pair. Try on the high heels, walk around in them. If they are comfortable then buy them, else shop around. Don’t buy high heels that have hard leather, try and get a pair with soft leather. Don’t go for high heels that are too high. Don’t wear high heels for an extended period of time. If you plan on wearing high heels daily then your feet are going to get ravaged. Even wearing high heels for a dance party can damage your feet.

You can make your high heels more relaxed by following a few instructions. If you have got a pair with conical toes then place some cotton in the toes of the high heels to guard your toes. Put arch supports in the high heels. If you feel that your feet are getting sprained from the sides place some cushioning on the sides. Now that you have your high heels ready now you have to get ready your feet also.

Remember extended wear of high heels can cause blisters, calluses and corns on your feet. You definitely don’t want to be seen limping in your high heels.

So take some band aid or moleskin squares and put them on your feet. Cover them around your toes, the sides of your feet and most notably on your heels. It’s the toes, the heels and the balls of the feet that get injured wearing high heels. So protecting these areas is going to keep your feet from getting damaged.

Also apply a cream or lotion on the feet to make them malleable and agile. Sometimes it even makes logic to pat some oil on the inner shell of the high heels to make the leather elastic. But you only do this when you are not using the high heels. If you follow these simple tips then you can guard your feet from getting damaged by wearing high heels.

Hopefully by following this advice you will be able to wear high heels without ravaging your feet.
