You Say You Can't Wear Heels?!!! Say Whhhaaattt??

February 1, 2022•By Kriena

You did not say that! Ok - Let's talk. I get it. Even the most gorgeous heels can ruin a day, a night, or an event. Nobody wants to feel the pain that heels can bring.

The Red Carpet Secret

I hear it all the time. "Don't show me those. I can't wear them. They will hurt!" And maybe that's true, but that's only because we have yet to uncover my trade secrets.

Do you see those stars on the red carpet standing for hours in those gorgeous heels that look like they were designed by a sadist? It's not magic, there is always a way.....

Trade Secret #1: Foot Petals®

One of the secrets to wearing heels with comfort is Foot Petals®. They're incredible little cushions that come in all the right shapes and sizes for the inside of your shoes. My favorite is the flower that you place at the ball of your foot where the most pressure is applied when you stand.

There are strips and mini flowers to place on the backs of ankles and toes, depending on the pressure points of the shoe. When I say this product is life-changing that's a vast understatement.

Trade Secret #2: Size Up

Another secret is to buy your heels either a half or whole size bigger than your normal. This gives you more room to add more Foot Petals®. All of a sudden your heels feel like your most comfortable shoes.

Choose Wisely

I encourage open toed heels and platforms all the time. They are extremely in style and give less points for pain. These also are made more comfortable with extra padding!

Sexy is satisfying and no matter what: you deserve it!

This isn't to say you need to wear heels all the time, but at least you won't be afraid to pull them off the shelf before a night out!

Ready to Wear Heels with Confidence?

I'll show you how to choose and wear heels comfortably for any occasion.
