New stripe top and I'm so obsessed with it. I can't get enough of stripes. Wearing it with a denim jacket and ripped jeans are my go to look this spring. Some of you commented on my Instagram and Facebook page that this pair of sandals looks really high and that you may not have the confidence to walk in them. This made me want to share some tips on how to wear high heels.
-Heel type.
The heels that have more cover, an ankle strap or thicker heels are easier than stilettos and thin heels.Wedges and platform heels are also easier. Plus platform heels are back this season, which are indeed a great option. With this pair I'm wearing, the heel is 5.75 inches in total height and the platform is 1.5 inches. So the absolute height is about 4.25 inches. It's much easier to walk in compared to a lot of high heels. I love how they look and how they elongate my legs :P
-Find the right size.
When I'm shopping online, I always look at the description of the shoes before I order. Lots of online retailers have information like true to size or fit smaller in the product detail. You need to find the right size for you.
-Use anti-blister products.
I'm currently using this Julep Doublesteps foot treatment and friction stick. I put it on my feet on the areas where I easily get blisters before I put on my heels. This shea butter treatment is infused with vitamin E and chili pepper oil to stimulate circulation. It also creates a barrier between your feet and shoes to reduce friction and stomp out blisters.
These gels and silicon are really soft for your feet. They help shift the weight and alleviate heel pain.
-Walk in them correctly.
Walk in them from heel to toe. Having good posture helps too. Take small steps. Be confident :)
-Take Breaks.
Try to sit if you need to get off your feet for a little bit. Practice does make perfect, but don't wear heels everyday. Your feet need a break. After wearing heels for a few days, you can switch to other awesome flat shoe options out there like Birkenstocks :P
-Bring foldable flats.
Some heels are really high and tough to walk too long in, but they are so pretty. If you know you will be in these types of heels for long hours, you can always bring foldable flats with you. I have a few pairs of Yosi Smara ones, they are tiny after folding and fit in small bags.
-Be good to our feet.
At the end of the day, after showering, I always put on lotions and creams and that includes putting them on my feet. Massage them for a while as it's good for your feet. This shea butter foot cream is really good. Or get a foot massage and a bubble bath, which are great for our feet.
I hope these tips are really informative and helpful for you to rock your heels. Happy Thursday, loves! Have a great day :) XO
新的条纹衫,好爱哦。感觉条纹衫再多也是不够。和牛仔外套和破洞牛仔裤穿就是我私底下经常的搭配。我看到你们在我的Instagram和Facebook page说这双鞋好高,都没有信心可以穿。不要啦,我今天就和你们聊聊如何穿好高跟鞋。
-高跟鞋的类型
有脚踝的带子的,或者是包着脚的,还有跟厚的都比最传统的高跟些还有细跟的好穿。像Wedges还有有platform的鞋都比较容易些。而且今年platform完全就重返流行舞台,绝对是不错的选择。我脚上的这双,总高度是5.75英寸,platform高1.5英寸,所以绝对高度是4.25英寸。和同高度的高跟鞋比好走多了。我爱死这双了,看上去腿好长:)
-选择正确的尺寸
我平常网上买鞋的时候,都会注意描述的细节。很多网站都有些鞋子尺寸正确还是偏大偏小。一定要穿合脚的鞋。
-用anti-blister的产品
我目前是用这个Julep Doublesteps foot treatment and friction stick。平常出门前会在比较容易有问题的地方涂好,然后再穿鞋。这会给你的脚一个保护,不会很容易磨到。
-可以试试insoles或foot cushions
这些都是很软的,对脚好。给你的脚一个缓冲就不会那么痛。
-走的方式正确
要从脚跟走到脚尖。站姿正确也会比较好。要挺胸抬头。步伐可以小些。有自信:)
-休息
脚累了就坐下呗。确实是走的越多就会越熟练。但也别每天都穿高跟鞋,对脚不好。其他平的也有好看的鞋,参考的我那篇Birkenstocks的博文。
-带折叠的平底鞋
有的时候知道自己很高很美的高跟鞋要穿很久,太美了一定要穿。那就带双可以折叠的平底鞋。我自己也有好几双Yosi Smara的。折叠之后很容易放在小包里。
-对脚好点
晚上回到家,洗澡之后,我都会涂些油啊,霜啊什么的,包括脚我都会涂。涂的时候就按摩下,会很好的。我推荐这个脚霜,可以试试。另外定期去脚底按摩和泡澡都对脚很好的。
好啦,希望今天谈的对你们有所帮助。有什么不可以穿的。喜欢的鞋有信心加上我以上几点就可以穿。祝你们星期四快乐!我爱你们:)
