The footwear that never goes out of style are high heels<\/strong>. This is not surprising, as they are the feminine standard of elegance. However, the price of looking fabulous is very high. Generally, high heels <\/strong>cause a lot of discomfort, from ingrown toenails to blisters.<\/p>\n

Because of their pronounced style and high base, heels<\/strong> rub the skin stingingly, not to mention the pain in your feet and ankles! Even your back can be affected. Fortunately, there are some great tricks to help you choose the ideal<\/strong> heels<\/strong> that won’t bother you.<\/p>\n

Interested to know what they are, stay here! As La Clinique Podiatrique de Laval<\/a>, the best podiatry specialists in all of Laval, we’ll tell you 4 secrets<\/strong> to choosing perfect heels<\/strong>. Stop suffering for these shoes and learn how to recognize the most comfortable one\u2019s for you. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Opt for wide heels<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The grace of high heels<\/strong> is to look stunning. The thinner the heel, the better. However, this is a big mistake. Narrow heels<\/strong> or “stilettos” are very unstable. All the weight of your body will fall incorrectly on your poor feet and you will force yourself to walk badly.<\/p>\n

This type of heel will only cause more pain or aggravate other existing conditions in your feet, such as plantar fasciitis<\/a>, blisters, ingrown toenails<\/a> and even Achilles tendonitis.<\/p>\n

\"1.<\/p>\n

This is why the renowned podiatrists at our clinic<\/a> recommend that you opt for a wide heeled shoe. Wide heels<\/strong> will help your body weight to be better distributed on your feet. Your tendons and ligaments will not be injured or strained, as you will have greater stability while walking.<\/p>\n

You will also avoid discomfort in your ankles and legs. So the next time you buy a pair, look for wide heel styles.<\/p>\n

2. Heels should be no higher than 6 centimeters<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Depending on the type of foot you have, whether it is flat or arched, it is appropriate to choose heels<\/strong> that do not exceed 6 centimeters. Although the essence of wearing heels<\/strong> is to look tall, too much height will cause many discomforts, from sharp pains to bone deformities.<\/p>\n

\"2.<\/p>\n

For this reason, our specialists recommend that you buy relatively low<\/strong> heels<\/strong>, with which you feel more comfortable. Another alternative you can try is to choose heels<\/strong> with platforms. Platforms will give you more stability, without losing a centimeter of height and without compromising the integrity of your feet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Look for comfort: leather, wide toes and cushioned soles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Wearing heels<\/strong> is synonymous with sacrifice, but it shouldn’t be! Comfort is more important than appearance. Believe it or not, it is possible to wear heels<\/strong> that feel like sneakers. But how? Well, first of all, our podiatrists recommend that you look for leather high heels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Leather is a very comfortable and flexible material. Over time, leather will adapt to the shape of your foot, for your convenience. However, high<\/strong> heels<\/strong> made of other rigid materials will only worsen the pain in your ankles and lead to other conditions.<\/p>\n

\"3.<\/p>\n

Secondly, we suggest that you get heels<\/strong> that are less pointed. The narrower the toe, the tighter your toes will be squeezed, leading to blisters and lacerations. To avoid this, opt for heels with rounded tips. Make sure your toes have enough room to move, especially your thumb.<\/p>\n

Finally, we advise you to get pads for high heels<\/strong>. These cushioned products will go a long way in relieving discomfort and discomfort. You can try pads for your heels and toes, or gel inserts for the bottom of your heels<\/strong>. This way, your feet will have better support.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Smart shopping: measure your feet and try on heels<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many times, the design, the color or the simple euphoria of finding heels<\/strong> on sale can cloud your judgment. As a result, you will go through a lot of discomfort and inconvenience because you bought the wrong high heels<\/strong>. To prevent these costly mistakes, the ideal is to practice the following tips<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
