When it comes to wearing fashionable, chic shoes, many women are hesitant to strap on a pair of three-inch heels because of the POTENTIAL foot pain and discomfort stylish shoes can produce. A new survey released by KIWI® Shoe Care, part of Sara Lee Food & Beverage, has found that almost half of American women (48%) would categorize themselves as "prudent chic" – trying hard to find a balance between style and comfort.
But it’s not as easy as it sounds. There are time when you find a pair of comfortable shoes that also look great, but the fit is't quite right. Most of us usually purchase the pair of shoes, and figure that the size doesn't really matter. Buying any shoes, no matter how comfortable and fashionable they are, that don't fit properly is a big mistake!
KIWI gives some great tips for women who can't help but buy that super trendy shoe that's just a little too tight:
Break 'em in. Women should wear their heels around the house for an afternoon - especially if they are brand new. This allows women to notice problems, like blister areas, before they become painful – and helps women take the necessary steps to correct any issues before wearing the shoes in public.
Don't feel the burn. Women don't have to experience that horrible burning sensation in the balls of their feet and heels. KIWI recommends women pick up some insoles for their shoes to provide extra cushioning and enhanced comfort to those sensitive pain points in the feet.
