Wearing them for longer period of time can cause a multitude of problems ranging from acute pain to backaches and even slip discs. It is not impossible to wear heels thought, the tip is to be wise while doing so.

When buying a pair of heels, do not go for the highest heels available. Choose ones that you will be comfortable in. If you are on the shorter side, wearing higher heels does not help you look taller. If your heels are too high you may find it difficult to walk in them and get through your day.

Try wearing your high heels on days when you will not be expected to be on your feet for long periods of time. Limit the use to occasions and special events. Traveling in heels tend to cause a lot of discomfort especially if you are using local transport like the subway or the bus. Driving with heels are dangerous as you foot may slip of the pedal. Use flat comfortable shoes while you are traveling and keep a pair of your heels in your handbag. Make the switch as soon as you reach your destination.

When buying a pair of shoes you may choose to buy a pair that fits just right to one that is a size bigger. Never put your feet through the torture of spending the entire day in shoes that are smaller than the size of your feet. If you buy a size bigger then by shoe cups that fit onto the base of your foot. They give you a firm grip on the shoe as well as meet the right size requirement.
