Sore feet when wearing high heeled boots
Hi all,
I've been trying to find an insole that, when i wear my high heeled boots, will stop that awful pain in the ball of my foot. I have tried gel insoles but they don't work ![]() I really like my boots and i want to wear them for longer than an hour without having this pain in my feet. Any advice greatly appreciated |

I have the same problem, and when i take my boots off at night and relax .... i get severe cramp in my feet.
I have come to the conclusion that heels aren't for me, which is a shame. |

It always amazes me how some people can walk around all day or go clubbing in massive heels.
I would like to know their secret. Do they just have different feet? (Mine are a little flat). |

I read about this is a magazine or paper not so long ago.
In a nutshell, if you cross your legs, the foot that is left hanging over the knee has an angle to it. (Imagine the angle from the big toe to the heel) Those who can strut around all day in 6 inh heels have a steep angle on the lower foot. Others, like me!, have only a gentle angle of about an inch. This is the natural height for your foot and anything over it will never suit. It explains why people like posh spice not ony wear these mammoth heights, but also feel comfy in them and not in flats. Hope Ive explained it ok. I have a brilliant mental image of you all crossing your legs and examining your angle now.

I get a horrendous burning pain in the balls of my feet after a night out in high heels. I saw something on the tv years ago, where they showed a lady getting something injected into her feet so she could walk painlessly in high heels for a few months...but sometimes I imagine these things and perhaps I actually dreamt it. Would be great if it does exist though...

I can wear some heels with no or very little pain, others after 30 minutes I need to sit down. It's annoying because I have some lovely shoes and boots. I used to be able to wear all sorts of high heels for as long as I wanted and be able to walk miles in them without any pain but I tore the ligaments in one of my feet about 8 years ago and since then my foot hurts really badly if I wear heels for too long.

Lawla I love high heels and have tried numerous things over the years. I know it sounds daft, but if you go in to a chemist, in the section where they sell all the corn plasters etc you should find a small round padded sponge with a loop that goes round your 2nd toe. They are really for older people with feet problems but they work like a treat !!

I've been looking at winter boots recently, just can't decide whether to go for high heels or something flatter. Probably more sensible really
What sort of styles are "in" at the moment? Not sure about suede which I've seen a lot of recently

I'm a nightmare with heels!
I had one or two pairs that I wore until they were ready to fall apart because they were so comfortable. But now I cant find another comfortable pair! The majority of heels give me very sore feet and calves and I also like something with a buckle or strap cos I find it hard to keep them on my feet if they dont! For this reason, I only wear heels when going out. I wear trainers or flat boots to work and everywhere else. No advice unfortunately just experience of the same thing. |

Some boots and high heels dont have the instep balanced in the right place throwing the feet forward and it puts all the pressure on the balls of the foot.. all I can wear now are wedge boots, or Im crippled ,, I have a new pair of nude colour patent heels for Xmas..... they wont last the day.. thats definite..

It probably doesn't help if you have small feet, since the angle will be greater and your weight more concentrated on your feet.

What glowbot said. It's worse if you are overweight with small feet as it's a lot of pressure on a small area. I am currently losing weight and after losing a stone have already noticed the balls of my feet hurt less. I won't wear over 3 inches though - I'm not ready for the sky scrapers yet!
