How I manage to wear heels all day!

This is dedicated to a new friend of mine who always seems to have foot discomfort. It is my tale of understanding shoes and it is pretty much the journey I took to understanding why my Louboutins were more comfortable than my flats. The answer is heel support not designers :O shock horror!!! So to anyone who wants to walk all around the office in their highest heels this is my guide. Enjoy!

Step 1: Understand the arch on your foot if you have a high arch you will find heels much easier to wear than flats. If the heel you are wearing is similar to your foot arch then the shoe will be very comfortable for you.

Step 2: Find the heel that supports the shape of your foot!

Flats

See those ballet flats are so flat there is no arch support, its to the point u can see my arch peeking out – this will hurt after a while because my entire foot isn’t supported. [Shoes: Country Road]

Notice the slight arch on these, these will give me the support I need and be comfortable flats! [Shoes: Bally]

Heels

See here once you take the arch after the hidden platform it matches your natural arch – this is the reason these are so comfortable!

When they are on the foot is natural and there’s no unnecessary straining (sorry for the veins its 34 degrees at the moment) but yes this is the reason I can wear these to travel or wear it for several hours -my foot is perfectly supported much better than flats! [Shoes: Christian Louboutin]

If you don’t like Louboutins here are more options:

See (with the platform excluded) the arch is the same – I follow this policy because that arch is the one that is best for my foot shape! [Shoes: Jimmy Choo]

If designers aren’t your cup of tea or you just haven’t saved enough there’s Tony Biano’s but beware! the ones without a platform are horribly uncomfortable [Shoes: Tony Bianco]

My Grandfather wore Bally, my dad wore Bally and now it’s my turn! I adore Bally – classic, classy, simple yet on trend! and of course AMAZINGLY COMFORTABLE [Shoes: Bally]

If you’re new to heels, have narrow feet or just fly out of things don’t forget shoes with ankle straps! [Shoes: Jimmy Choo]

Step 3: Make sure the heel is balanced, my test for this is to put the shoe down and see if they wobble

Step 4: Buy it!

Hope this helps you all find the perfect heels! Good Luck Sheng Shengs!!
