How come some people can wear heels?

Id love to be able to wear high heeled shoes as they really shape your legs and I could do with the height but they are just so uncomfortable and have completely ruined many a night out, even if I walk for 5 minutes its sore, the balls of my feet kill me, and I dont even mean that high just a few inches, I have a high instep could this be the cause?

How come some people can wear heels?
for me they hurt less when i wear heels that have a platform sole. it makes the 'drop' from heel to sole not as steep... hope that makes sense!!
Reply:I have never worn high heels in my life but recently I started to. My first day on my job (3 yrs ago) I wore a 3.5 almost 4 inches heel and my feet were in pain for a couple days. So what I did was I started to wear low heels and work my way up. Now I'm able to wear 4 inch heels for most of my days at work without any pain. After that you pretty much get used to it and the pain will be minimal. Another thing you can do is wear gel insoles which helps alot!. Look for shoes that have good arch designs that are comfortable of course *quality is key*!
Reply:I can't say if there is something physical that you have a problem with heels. First, make absolutely sure that you are wearing your correct size, and the proper width is vital to your comfort. But don't wait for a date or night out to wear heels. Practice wearing them at home, start low and work up if you wish, but take the time to get used to them. Hope it works, I love to wear heels and hope that you can do so as well if you wish. Good luck.

Im 16 and ive walked on my tip-toes my whole life, get jokes about it at school, but im the one laughing when im walkin in heels onn a night out and my friends are all falling over!





So when your at home walk on your tip toes. works for me :D





just dont do it for to long or you wont be able to walk flat again :(
Reply:that's very normal. you just have to tough it out and get your feet used to the heels... seriously. i used to have to wear heels to work everyday and let me tell you... my feet were dying for the first couple of weeks, but eventually your feet get used to them and they don't hurt so much (if at all) anymore.
Reply:Me - I suffer and I just don't wear heels at all now. I don't have a particularly high instep either. I'm quite tall and there are some great flats out there so it doesn't worry me most of the time but I do think that heels are really sexy if you can wear them without wincing.
Reply:I guess I am lucky...I practically live in heels. Make sure you get a quality brand heel, as cheaper heels really are not that well made. Secondly, it takes alot of practice. Satrt with a lower heel and get comfy with that and then keep moving up until you are comfy in higher heels. Good luck and dont give up!
Reply:Just keep wearing them..the pain will stop soon and u will be fine..... my mom has a high instep and like i said just keep wearing them and eventually wearing heels will be like wearing flip flops!.. i wear heels all the time.. to the grocery store...everywhere i love them!
Reply:i hate heels i feel unconfortable and im not very girly so they wouldnt suit me


however kitten heels are not too bad ( ive only worn them once or twice though im not girly enough or dont go and wear skirts)


they are very small heels and are a lot easier to walk in and should probably do the same thing
Reply:I think it depends on the fit of the shoe and the quality of the shoe. Some heels make me slip out of them others are like slippers. Then there are others that I put up with the pain for because they are so lovely! I think it takes practice.
Reply:I know. they are a bugger arent they. If i can avoid wearing high heels i do.





I have low bridges so maybe thats why i cant wear heels. My heels are very sensitive and i have tried everything but they dont work.

Reply:i wear heels pretty much everyday, even to go shopping, they just make me feel better within myself and am more comfortable in them. it's just the norm for me :-)
Reply:you can get insoles now that help alleviate this problem
Reply:You can get those flat heel one's.. I have high heels but they are not pointy.. The pointy one's give you back pain..With the flat heels its sort of like 2 in 1...Stylish n comfortable!!!
Reply:try wearing shorter heals and work your way up
