Busted Toes Be Gone
Love your heels, but hate those blisters? These tips will have you wanting to wear those sky-high hot stilettos all day and night.
1. Cushion your step! You can buy insole cushions for just about any kind of shoe.
2. Heels aren’t for everyone, but you can train yourself to love them! If 4 inches are just too high for you to walk in, start off with 2 or 3 inches and work your way up!
3. Got a great pair of shoes, but they always seem to hurt after a night out? Wear a bunion cushion on the toe that rubs against the inside of your shoe – that’s if you are sure the shoes are definitely not to small for your feet.
4. Shoe repairs can fix just about anything. For boots that are just a little too tight around the calf, take them to a shoemaker and have them stretched!
5. Ever walk down the street and get your heel caught in a crack? Pick up a “Smart Heel Protector”. Simply slide it on the heel. Bye-bye snags!

Another tip for those who don't wear heels, it get what I call the cheat heels. They are the shoes that have a little platform in the front, which makes it easier to walk in those 4 inch shoes. It gives a really great illusion that you are pumping in some really high shoes when really Ladies we are cheating. lol

I like the Kenna Vega's idea. I'm going to have to try that. Thanks girl.
I think the more I wore my heels the easier it got, so practice!

My problem is my friend bought me these way cute 5 inch heels as a gift while I was pregnant. They were a bit snug because of my swollen feet. But now that I've had my baby the are to big. He bought them online so I can't return them. Is there any thing I can do to still be able to wear them?

My mom doesn't like me wearing heels because I'm already "tall" she feels that it will be hard on my spine and overall health later in life. Suggestions as to what could work best and still be sexy for a 5' 9" er?
Good looking out for us, I'm going to try your tips... Peace
i will def. try the bunion cushion cause girl them toes of mine are not looking too pretty at all after living in heels for several years.....thanks for the tips
im the type that LOVE wearing heels but when i tried the insole cushions it was mad uncomfortable...guess its not for everyone
i love heels that if they hurt i'll just take it until the day is over, i prefer to look pretty instead of being comfortable
Thank you! I have practically lived in heels since 2006 and I've seen the good the bad and the ugly. These tips will really help a sista out!!!
I take a motrin before I go out! lol!
