Wednesday August 31, 2016 - Easy solutions to solving high heel foot pain

I do not wear high heels often but when I have worn them, some of my shoes really hurt my feet. Both my Orlando and Montgomery trips are examples of foot pain that occurred after wearing high heels during the day.

I read this article about woman taping their toes together to reduce pain. The article stated:

If you’ve ever hobbled home after a long day or night in heels, this tip is for you. Tape your third and fourth toes (counting from the big toe) together—we recommend nude medical tape for a low-profile look, but Scotch tape works in a pinch—to alleviate pain in the ball of your foot. Sound crazy? 

Here’s the reasoning: there’s a nerve that splits between those two toes, which causes pain when pressure is put upon it (a.k.a. when you wear heels). The tape removes strain on the nerve, allowing you to dance the night away. *

I am going to try this, the next time I  wear closed toe high heels. While search youtube, I found two short videos on making your high heels more comfortable to wear. One is based on store bought remedies while the second one was based on home remedies.

  1. Hi Susan,
    Stana has mentioned her love for "Insolia Inserts" on several occasions, e.g.
