Tips for wearing high heels without pain

MAS34 high heels look great on girls and add a touch of elegance and confidence to any situation. Some women do better in them and are able to wear them for long work days or long nights out, however other women find it necessary to restrict high heels to special occasions because they cause pain.

Although there are many women's shoes with high heels that are more comfortable than they may seem at first glance and good footwear never hurts, it is true that the heel makes the foot adopt an unnatural shape that can cause pain if the same shoe is used for many days in a row.

To prevent your feet and back from suffering more than necessary, you can put into practice some tricks that allow you to wear high heels without pain. Little tricks that will make everyday life easier for many women.

Use the correct number

When buying shoes, it is always important to buy the exact size that we wear, but when we talk about high-heeled shoes, the size becomes much more important.

On the one hand, if the shoe is too small, it will obviously squeeze the foot and cause chafing, but if the shoe is too big, the foot will slide towards the toe and cause chafing due to friction, and the front part of the foot will bear more pressure than necessary. Not to mention that you will have to make a great effort to try to hold the shoes so that they do not come off.

Practice at home

It may seem silly, but having practiced walking in the shoes before using them on the street helps us both to get used to their shape and the height of the heel and to help the shoes adapt to the shape of our feet and thus avoid possible chafing.

Use silicone or gel insoles

Since silicone and gel insoles came into our lives, many women are happier. A simple insole that makes us feel comfortable, as the sole of the shoe becomes softer and allows our feet to rest. Thanks to the material they are made of, the weight is distributed evenly, so the pain caused by one part of the foot supporting the entire weight of the body is noticeably reduced.

Non-slip soles

The problem with high heels is often that they slip on certain surfaces. When this happens, you not only have to pay attention to the height of the shoe, but you also have to be careful not to fall due to slipping.

Since most stilettos have thin soles and are not slip-resistant, apply an anti-slip spray similar to the one you use in the shower or anti-slip stickers to ensure you take firm and safe steps.

Team up with the tights

Wearing high heels with stockings helps reduce the friction of the skin against the shoe and prevents chafing. Stockings are always a safe bet to make a shoe fit much better. There are summer stockings that will not make you hot and will also make your legs look nicer.

Use creams and Vaseline

If for some reason you must wear your high heels without socks, don't forget to moisturise the skin of your feet well before wearing them, preferably with specific foot creams. If during the day you notice that your shoes start to rub, apply Vaseline to the affected area before a blister or wound forms. You'll notice the difference.

Take advantage of the platforms

It is not always possible to wear a stiletto heel for many hours, so we must take advantage of the fact that platforms are in fashion to reduce the real heel of our shoes by several centimeters. You can try the Cristina Stilettos, which come in many colors and materials, you will not be able to live without them.

Thanks to the platforms that shoes like Peep-Toes have in their front part, the difference in height that our feet have to endure is much smaller. For this type of girl, we have the Peep-toe Alexandra in khaki suede and in blue suede and silver mirror, which are perfect for this job. After so many hours on your feet with stilettos, it is necessary to give your feet a little rest.

How to wear heels on a wedding day?

Do you have a wedding coming up and are you afraid for your feet? If you are not used to wearing heels, it is normal to have that fear.

We advise you to choose comfortable shoes, such as MAS34 shoes, with their gel sole for greater comfort and made of soft and flexible materials. It is super important not to be afraid when walking, so practice beforehand and build up some stamina.

Choose a style that suits the theme of the event. Depending on how used you are to wearing them, you can choose between high heels, low heels, sandals, etc. If you are not used to wearing them, we recommend that you choose platform heels, which will provide cushioning and make you feel much more comfortable. Also, you should choose a pair of heels with good arch and ankle support. This will help you maintain balance and reduce the strain on your feet and legs.

Take a break whenever you get the chance, sit down and rest your feet for a few minutes to relieve any discomfort. Also, consider packing a pair of flats or ballet flats in your bag, so you can change into them and rock the party!

For these first times, we recommend our Monica and Martina sandals, with a 10 cm heel and 3 cm platform, the perfect allies to last the entire wedding. They are available in various colours so you can match them with the look you have chosen.

We also recommend the Rosario and Aitana heeled sandals. Rosario has a 3cm heel that really flatters the leg and will give your outfit a more chic touch, and the Aitana has a thick 3cm heel, which is impossible to be more comfortable.

Always remember to try on your shoes before the wedding and walk around in them a bit to make sure they are comfortable and fit your feet perfectly.
