How to Prevent Foot Problems Related to Wearing High Heel Shoes

June 19, 2009


Wearing high heeled shoe sis a religion for most women but along with their fetish they bring along a few health issues. There is no harm in indulging in heels; the key is to knowing how often and when to indulge. You need to be smart and care for your body as you join the fashion bandwagon.

If your job demands that you use shoes that are beautiful and compliment your outfits but have the reverse effect on your health then you need to be smart. If you use local transport like the subway of a bus to get to work; then you can wear flat shoes while commuting. They take the stress of your feet and help you to maintain your poise when you reach the office.

If you have a long day and an important presentation at the end of the day or you anticipate a meeting that is going to take a few hours and require you to look your best then wear flat shoes or sneakers during the day. Wearing smaller heals or wedges rather than stilettos all day long will help.

What to do when you have aching feet?

Aching feet can cause you a lot of distress and can have an effect on your schedule. Start with rubbing some massage oil onto your feet and massage them in a circular motion. This will help to increase the blood circulation in your feet. In addition to that the massage also helps to ease the muscle tension caused as a result of the shoes.

If your feet are red, sore or are beginning to cause blisters sprinkle powder on your feet before you can put them back into your shoes.

At the end of the day, soak your feet in warm water with a hint of peppermint oil. The water and the oil help to soothe the aching feet and relieve the muscle tension. Do this every day before you sleep and you will wake up to healthier and more youthful looking feet.

During the colder seasons of the year, wear hose as far as possible with your high heels to prevent any foot related discomfort.
