Wearing high-heeled stiletto sandals every day?

You know... the kind everyone wears to prom and has to take off after 3 dances. The ones with thin straps, thin sole, 4%26quot; high stiletto heel. So cute but so painful!





Does anyone here wear those high-heeled stiletto sandals every day?





My friend at school does. She%26#039;s been wearing heels since she was 11. She started at 1 inch and went up by an inch every 2 years, so she%26#039;s now 18 and wearing 4%26quot; stiletto sandals every day.





If you%26#039;re SO used to heels, is it less painful for you to wear 4%26quot; prom-type sandals every day?





Also, that friend of mine tiptoes whenever she%26#039;s barefoot. She%26#039;s always barefoot at home and it%26#039;s kinda funny to see her tiptoeing all round the house. Is this just a cute side-effect of wearing heels so much, or a permanent problem?

I wouldn%26#039;t say that it is less painful, I would say that one gets a little more used to having your feet tortured (j/k). The reason that she tiptoes barefoot could be because it may be painful for her to walk flat-footed. I%26#039;ve been wearing heels nearly every day since I was 12 (I%26#039;m 26 now) and it is actually painful for me to wear the cute flats that are in style nowadays. It%26#039;s not a cute side-effect so much as it is a pain reliever (at least for me).
Reply:those heels don%26#039;t look that bad. they actually look somewhat comfortable. I wear heels but I take them off as soon as I get home. Heels are great! they%26#039;re sexy and fun, so I don%26#039;t blame your friend for wearing them all the time. I have heard different things about it messing up your feet if you wear them too much. As long as she pampers her feet at night, she should be fine.





here is a report I found about wearing them, and how it can affect your feet.

Reply:I wear four inch heels almost every day and when they are not four inch they are even higher. Your feet do get used to wearing them. I never wear flats any more.
Reply:I couldn%26#039;t imagine wearing those shoes for a little while let alone every day. But she could be doing damage to her feet. Being young she won%26#039;t feel the effects of long term damage until she is older. She may want to consult a %26quot;foot%26quot; doctor to see what the issues could be from wearing these shoes daily. i.e back problems, planteritus (spelling?) ect.
Reply:I personally dont wear high heel like that everyday, but i wear them often. If someone were to wear high heels everyday like you explained, they%26#039;d have to rest their feet a lot before taking showers, or your feet will get veins. also its a good cause of spider veins too.





about the part when u said your friend tiptoes a lot , that%26#039;s probably because she used to high heels so much that she does that, or it could just be that or she%26#039;s just playing around.





well i hope this explains what u asked.
Reply:If you%26#039;re used to wearing heels, it does get more comfortable. I usually wear 3-4%26quot; heels daily...but that%26#039;s what I%26#039;m comfortable with. It sometimes helps to put a little squishy pad in the toe to distribute the pressure...though that%26#039;s not really practical in sandals. Then again, I wear closed toes and boots more frequently than sandals.
