As above. Do share your views/tricks.

mayb u can buy those high heels that added wood inside..
whn u wear it, u'll feel there s a wood under ur feet, so u wont feel too pain.. hehe
or buy 1 inch high heel lo..

leave slippers under your desk at work, and change to it when you're in the office.

wear shorter heels, buy shoes with soft inner soles

wear heels only when you don't have to perform much energetic activities.

just my 2 cents

platform shoes?

yaya

my fav...wedges! make me looks taller yet comfortable!

what about those cover-toes-heels? i lurrvee to wear those but hate it when they gave me blisters.

what brand is ur high heels? perhaps the sole design is not suitable for ur foot leh... try other shops one

some shoes are really really designed not for walking though! so only wear when u're doing minimal walking, e.g. formal dinner ;p

A girl with high heels very sexy...

wedges would be better.
not that painful

I think choosing the right pair of heels are important..But that said, it's so hard when the pair u try and fall in love with in the store are so comfortable even for 10 minutes before u decide to buy them, but gives u nightmares after u leave with it! :/

no risk no gain

Only wear when u need it? haha..I only wear for functions..other than that, flat shoes..it's really painful sometimes..choose and buy more comfy shoes..

yeah, beauty is painful, but girls do look sexy wearing high heels.

can use slippers at work, it's under your desk so no one will notice you..

i would say, "practice makes perfect!". u should always wear heels until you'll get used to it. start with kitten heels...
... and i agreed with joey that wedges would be better cuz they're more balance.

erm.. dont think there's any tips lor..
ya.. practice makes perfect.
and you can start from wearing lower heels or wedges.. then you slowly get use to it.. and voila.. there goes the pain..

But still, no matter how much practice it takes.
The longer you walk with heels, it somehow will hurt for definitely.

that's right... especially if the heels are inchesss high.

anyway, we shouldn't buy heels only for its look but comfy should be the first criteria to look for.

buy a pair of heels and u will get a few blisters for FREEE!!

I so totally agree on this fact!
I just got myself a few yesterday.
SIGHH. My little toes looks ugly right now

try to massage ur leg.
i wear 3 inch when is necessary
but day time when attend to class, i wear flat scandals only

<ling> >_<"" wahhhh u can even wear 3 inches! the max i can wear is 2 1/2 inches (for a short while) only thx to my old injury TT^TT

i noe some girls says that "I not into heels that are less than 4 inches!"

is that super or what??? furthermore some even wore 4 inches heels and go around shopping as if nothing happened or their feet are pain free

kinda jealous

maybe they are just so used to wearing heels or maybe some can just bear with the pain so as to look gd i guess

ahhh self torture in the name of fashion T_T

but as far as i noe, heels makes ur butt looks nicer...because it lift you backside up...and that when you walk...there'll be a nice & seductive butt jingle to it...that is if you walk properly with it =.=" also..your legs will look longer and stretched...

i guess women are strongwilled person unlike me ~_~

well i hv a 4 inch heels. i wore it during my secondary school classmates wedding dinner. guess wat? i'm sufferring the pain starting until the end. my pain even extend to the next day. but i feel happy when i'm almost the same height wif other tall gals haha. so i'll still choose to suffer the pain to let me look nicer.

LOL, same here!

urrr......
wear high heels everyday, get urself use to it.
and u wont feel the pain?

just don't over do it la. for casual walk around where people won't notice anything, try go for as minimal heel as possible.

go to office i can wear high heel everyday.
But if stand for whole day, CANNOT wear high heel... coz it is very painful.

I have a bad habit, i used to wear high heel, and i can wear high heel go shopping for hours, and i can run with wearing high heel... then when i suddenly wear sandal, or flat shoes, i will fell down. and it happened few times. my friends laughed at me

never have problem wearing heels... but i do tryout a lot of heels before purchasing... walk around the shop see comfortable or not before u buy ...

those party feet gel inserts by scholl do help but there's no way you can be comfortable in high heels past 2-3 hours, depending on heel height

do not wear heels... not good.. trust me

yaya.. i heard from my fren that the ideal is only wearing 2-inches heels..
but i can't life without heels..
the higher the heels, the more i'm attracted to it..
haha..

Practice, practice, practice. After awhile you won't even notice the pain

Flat heels would be better.

i'm comfortable wit all my high heels... the most important is choose the heels that reali suite u but not choose it bcoz of its design or brand. Because sometimes branded heels cant fit my foot nicely.. i can feel pain even i wear it in the shop for 10 seconds... so i wont buy it...

sometimes, really lazy to wear heels,
i wear flip flops only
btw, alot aussie people,
they wear nice nice dress,
but look down,
just a plain old flip flops

yup, i agree.. the gel inserts from scholl might help... i've bought 1 pair, never seem to use it, keep forgetting about it... and yes, heels are dangerous for women's bodies... my friend told me that it's not good for the womb.. i dunno about that though, i've read thestar newspaper about 1 or 2 weeks ago in fit for life, the sunday star, a report on heels and women.. also nowadays they have those susoku foot pads in watsons & guardian.. might help too...

I love heels! I don't think I can do without them. Only recently has my boyfriend convinced me to buy a pair of flipflops for more casual wear ^^;; Says he likes putting his chin on my head apparently XD Feel so short...

Anyways, I wear 3inch heels everyday to work. My secret is to choose strappy or open toe shoes. Let those babies breathe o.o-b Also, you will want to keep your toenails nice and short. Trim them well because they do cause pain when pushed up against the insides of your heels what with your whole body weight sliding forward.
When starting out in high heels, choose a pair where the heel is chunkier. Don't go for stilettos just yet. When you can balance in those you can slowly make them skinnier. Just remember, the wider the base the better the balance. Wedges are good but I feel that they don't have as much flexibility when walking so sometimes I end up stomping in them.
Another secret: I'm constantly on my feet in the office walking around alot but when i get a chance to sit at my desk, OFF comes the shoes! XD Yup, just take them off and flex them on the carpet. Bend your toes backwards and forwards and try to spread your toes on the flat floor. Put them back on only when you are leaving the desk again ^^

I hope this helps a little ^^

haha i did the same. i used to take off my heels when i'm sitting n wearing heels to work on tat day. i even walk around nearby places onli without heels. my boss saw me doing this oso luckily she didnt tegur me haha so good.

when i was working, i did exactly the same, walking around d office without heels, my manager saw, she was ok with it.. in fact, she keeps a pair of slippers under her desk... hehe.. in fact, all my colleagues did.. it's nice working in such an environment where everyone is so friendly.. oops, off topic... anyways... how do ppl walk in >4 inch heels? i can't even bend my knee when stepping down... and should ppl walk heel to ball or ball to heel?

wedges is the best! XP no matter how many inches you want....still more comfortable than high heels with the similar height

i think it's best to wear for certain occasions only, don't wear to walk like, shop, or to walk. if you need to walk, wear walking shoes! or else...

girl wear high hell shoes very sexy:P

normal wear i will always opt for 2 inches or flats, because i m scare of pain.

got presentation, formal dinner, i will wear 3 inches, wonder why higher heels often come with nice designs. >.<

I wear it often till I get used to it..

umm , or maybe you can put plaster huh ?
cause i use it when i am working =]

i think in victoria case it was because she's too skinny in the first place..

there's actually a difference between expensive shoes and not.

anne klein, although price here is rm500 ish, the iflex, supposedly for comfortable wear is still isn't that comfortable.same with steve madden, same with aigner.[ both available at isetan, and i wouldn't recommend it even with the price]

but the most expensive shoes i ever tried on, while i was shopping at 5th avenue, and 300 dollars shoes is heaven compare to less than 100 which steve madden, and anne klein are.

can't imagine how louboutin or manolos would feel.

how about those 3 1/2 inch heels cover up der?

in front of the leg sure very pain if walk to long..y geh?

ok, my expertise

first, how many inches heel u wearing?

im expert in wearing heels, cause i wear them EVERYDAY

u juz need to wear it more

its like make up, need training~

yup. walking - get a proper shoe, minimal heels. one that's comfortable.

i think heels are necessary for appearance but if you spend most of the time in office, keep a pair of comfortable walking shoes to go around the office. some ladies do that, especially those working in Admin / HR where they don't go out and meet people like Sales & Marketing.

That is what we call a Bunion. What is a bunion?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunion

From the article, These factors are often considered genetic. Although some experts are convinced that poor fitting footwear is the main cause of bunion formation,[2] other sources concede only that footwear exacerbates the problem caused by the original genetic deformity.[3]

I actually dislike women wearing heels due to several reasons:

1) Restrictive footwear
2) Dangerous (balance and drain grates)
3) In event of emergency, it's a hindrance to run (fire, quake)
4) Backache
5) Deformed toes

How about wearing the heels only when you wish to achieve a specific goal for the viewer only :?

hmm for me high heels hepls to fix our posture.. but it indeed dangerous..
really would like all girls to take a look at this poster :



u might think twice
