Monochrome high heels

Feeling sexy every day with these monochrome high heels.

If you’re a fan of adorable high heels, you should know some tricks to make your way more comfortable.

• When in doubt, size up: If you have to choose between a pair that’s slightly snug or slightly loose, go with loose; you can always pad them, but hoping they will stretch out usually ends in disappointment.
• Not every heel need to be super high: Every heel doesn’t need to be 4-plus inches tall. I love a kitten heel, and they’re almost like wearing flats; they don’t put as much pressure on the ball of your foot, which is often the source of discomfort.
• Rotate different toe styles in your wardrobe: Take breaks from pointed-toe heels. Rotate between a round toe, open toe, and pointed toe. Sure, pointy might look great, but it certainly won’t help your toes. Especially the poor pinky!
• Even comfortable heels can get uncomfortable over time: Even if you think you’re in your most comfortable heels, be prepared if it’s going to be a long day or night. A combination of padding the footbed and cotton balls stuffed in the toes is my ultimate solution.
• Keep a few cotton balls on your bag: Stuff the cotton balls into the toe of your shoe until the fit is right. Keep a few extra in your purse for just such an occasion.
• Never wear brand new heels to a big event: No matter what else you do, do not wait to break in your brand new heels at that special event you picked them out for. You haven’t developed a relationship with the shoes yet, and you don’t want to spoil the night by finding out too late that your heels have a mean side. Wear them at least once before the event so you know how to prep them properly.
