I love wearing heels to work but I walk a lot while there. My feet get cut and marked and sometimes very uncomfortable. I have seen various products to put between the foot and the shoe to provide comfort.
Does anyone use these? Do you recommend a specific one? Do you wear heels and are they comfortable for you?
I also make sure the shoes are on the large size. I also find boots work really well if at all possible. I think they give a bit more support. I also bring some Clark shoes with me and slip them on for a bit if my feet are feeling a bit in need of a rest and nobody really notices
I've been using gel insoles in a size larger shoe. If you use them with your regular size, it will feel too tight. Also, they have these little pads for corns. I don't have corns but they keep from my pinky toe hurting when I wear pointy toe shoes. Its a shame that beauty can be soo painful.
PS: Kick of your shoes while at your desk. I used to wear slippers that squeeked when I walked at my old job :-)
No heels for this gal! I fractured my ankle once and it never healed properly; if I put on heels my ankle and entire foot will immediately swell to twice it's size and it becomes very very painful. I have to wear shoes with good support but I must remain flat on my feet.
I don't know how you ladies do it! I find heels so uncomfortable and nonfunctional.
Wearing heels everyday is not good for your feet or your back. Keep it to a minimum. If you want to keep them casual, wear them with jeans and a flowy t-shirts but you can also wear flats.

I usually get the gel inserts for the balls of my feet. I tried the Insolia inserts but didn't notice any difference. I definitely agree with the others that going a half size bigger helps.
I find it depends on the heels. I have some that KILL my feet and others, even 4-5 inches that are fine and comfortable. Michael Kors and Sam Edelman high heel shoes are made better in my opinion, and provide more comfort and support.
I gave up all my heels over 3" when I turned 35 - now it's nothing over 2 - 2 1/2" for me. I have almost no padding on the balls of my feet - same for the heels.
If I am wearing heels and I know I'll be doing a lot of walking, then I bring along a spare pair of ballet flats. I wear those for the walk, then may switch back to my heels.
