Shoe Woes!

[royalpurple]

I love heels. But then my feet always become very painful after wearing them. sometimes it's becoz of the friction btw my sole and e shoe. and sometimes it feels like i've sprained my feet. sigh~~~

I've actually got a pair of "Party Feet" by Scholl -- the gel padding that you can place into your shoes to reduce friction. But I still find it painful after a long day wearing heels.

Do you gals have the same problem? How do you prevent the pain from occuring?

I remember this wild night out i had, i wore heels. They hurt so bad the whole night. I didn't want to let my friends know since didn't want to spoil the mood.
I recall the moment when i came out of the cab, took of the heels and just threw them in the dustbin.
So now i usually wear heels with straps and use "Party Feet" by Scholl. I think its alright now
There is another brand of these kind of padding as well, i can't recall the brand...my friend said it is more comfy..

Could it be from Foot Petals? Foot petals carries a no. of products that are meant to prevent soles / feet from pain.

[teddychan]

yeah its foot petals..

[royalpurple]

hmmm. where to get them?

[teddychan]

Metro and certain cold storage stores
Anyway here is the site link for this product

their also available at guardian pharmacy, watsons, isetan, robinson, metro..
there's another brand too.. aspara or something like that which i feel its better than foot petals..
but i have only tried the heel pad, not the sole pad..

generally, i dont have a problem with high heels..
it usually depend on the brand rather than the height of the heels..
for charles & keith, regardless of the height, my feet always ache without fail..
but for nine west and aldo, even though their heels are sooo much higher than charles & keith, my feet dont ache..

Usually, my feet will hurt when I wear covered high heels. Have a pair of espadrilles that I really love. But I need to put 10 plasters (literally) on my feet before I can wear the shoes.

[teddychan]

yeah i notice the shoes that i pay more for, feel better then those that are lesser priced.

[royalpurple]

hmmm okay~ seems i got to invest in few pairs of good quality heels.

[majacqueline]

Thats why I only wear flats. As much as I would love to wear a pair of stylish heels to compliment my outfit, my feet won't allow it. I only wear heels for ver sepcial ocassions and for a very short time. That being said the only heels I can tolerate are my salsa shoes which I custom made.

[royalpurple]

haha~ if only i aint that vertically challenged, i'd love to wear flats. i'm only 1.58. ya... so heels've become part of my life already~

i always buy shoes from URS. thought the quality is good but then it also gives me the pain after some time. hemmmm

[shrooms]

i always have aches when i wear heels for a long time. no heels can eliminate the pain though i didnt try those higher end shoes yet. cos the moment i see the height of the heels from aldo and ninewest, i told myself "forget it."

[101mynxes]

Am I the only one who practically lives in heels? Mine are mostly from URS. Love them to bits!

I own a pair of Birkies and Tevas ... and guess what? My feet ached so much from wearing them I had to give myself mini foot massages at the end of the day! Not much luck with my pretty ballerina pumps either. Sulk.

[plasterger]

yes yes ! it always hurts for me...not only the calves but also my feet...guess because i have flat feets...i cannot stand for >1 hour wearing heels...my cure is minimise wearing them, only wear them during special occasion or wear wedges to give me the height...
