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

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?

When the water turns to ice and expands your shoes will have that extra little room you need =)

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?
