Pain From High Heels?
Ladies, what do we really want when wearing stilettos?
Less Pain!
Is it possible? Fashion editor of MahoganyButterfly.com recently sat with Foot Solutions Franchise Owner Laurie Sullivan to set the record straight once and for all. (Laurie is a certified Pedorthist and owner of Foot Solutions Annapolis, MD – Bethesda, MD -Alexandria, VA and Washington D.C)
So, What can a fashionista do to combat the common foot problems associated with wearing High Heels?
“A pedorthist can be a girl’s best friend when it comes to making high heels fit well and feel good by using devices to help align the foot and redistribute pressure” explains Laurie.
When most women try shoes on, the heel may slip and they go down a half size to stop the slipping. You have to understand that high heels are always going to create a fitting challenge, because your feet are resting on a slope. Unless they are fitted properly, you will always slide down into the toe of the shoe.
A pedorthist can help you get the proper room the foot needs and stop the slipping without cramming the foot into a shoe that is too small. Corns and calluses are always the result of a poor fit. Using arch supports and ball of foot cushions can ensure that your foot is sitting straight inside the shoe and that pressure is more evenly distributed across the entire foot.

As the summer approaches, we all have different concerns. For some, it’s losing weight. Others are tanning in preparation for the beach (which I never understood, but apparently lots of people do it!). People with diabetes also must prepare…to protect their feet!
