Your Questions About Heels Without Heel

Donna asks…

How do I wear a maxi dress/skirt without heels this summer?

I am not allowed to wear heels (yet), so how can I pull of the maxi dress or skirt this summer? I'm a bit above 5 foot, so I'm short. The most heel I can wear is a one-inch espadrille shoe or something small like that. So, how do I keep from drowning in the skirt? I am set on maxis...

Our pick of the answers:

Maxi dresses are really for tall girls, sorry to tell you that. If you're short it will swamp you and won't look right. If you're short then I would generally say wear high heels and you could pull it off but obviously you can't... Maybe try and find one in the petite range (I'm not sure they do maxi dresses in petites though) or else you will most likely step on the hem or trip over it and you definitely don't want that. Or take the hem up? If you're not allowed heels then maybe a platform or wedge shoe instead?

Mary asks…

how do i walk in heels without them making my feet hurt?

i LOVE heels but its hard to wear them when u travel by train and out most of the day. is there a trick that i can use so my feet wont hurt? also..do i REALLY get a sized bigger heel when theres a pointed toe?

Our pick of the answers:

Yeah, heels can be a real pain. If a heel's uncomfortable, it just is and there's not a whole lot you can do. If it hurts under the balls of your feet, you can use Party Feet or Foot Petals. As i work in shoes i know for a fact the 'foot petals' by 'Tip Toes' are much better than the Party Feet range. They are spongy little pads you stick in the shoe where the balls of your foot sit - the area where the most pressure is built up. They add cushioning and support. I would definitely recommend buying heels that have a leather upper AND lining. They're much softer on your foot and definitely last longer. Really worth the price. Look around as you can get some real bargains in leather. Synthetic ones tend to rub more and don't hug your foot as good. Crap. Your feet might hurt cos the shoes are tight. You can try stretching them out using a leather stretching spray on the lining (if they're leather lined) or blasting the tight spots with a hairdryer. Otherwise, the heel is just crap and you need to buy better quality ones. When you shop for them, ask the staff for a pair that they know is more comfortable! DO NOT get a bigger size if there is a pointed toe! A pointed toe doesn't at all mean the shoe itself is a size smaller, it just has a different shaped toe which can FEEL smaller cos, obviously, its a pointy toe! In saying that, don't buy a shoe just because it claims it's a size that you are. Use your size as a starter, and work from there finding one that is the right fit regardless of the number it says.
