i've been using those gel thingys and they help a bit but my feet hurt sooo bad. i used work at Macy's walking and standing around 4 hours, and go clubbing, dancing, shopping and do everything in my stilettos but now i cant wait 2 take them off under my desk, and i can barely squeeze them back on and walk 2 my car in the parking lot. they get so swollen and i cant straighten my toes. its really wierd and crazy. i had a doctors appointment 4 tomorrow but it got postponed until next wednesday. so i need suggestions, advice or whatever. can anyone help me? :o/

Answer 1

ur feet looked horrible! But anyway you really shouldn't be wearing high heels with swollen feet. I would recommend you get some really nice, comfortable sneakers or some of those shoes by naturals. oh and just because ur short doesn't mean u have 2 wear high heels everyday, i' m 5'0.    

Answer 2

ow that looks painful. but take a break from shoes like that until your feet heal. wear comfortable shoes. you might not look taller but i wouldn't sacrifice my feet for height. wear like flip flops and comfy sneakers.

Answer 3

it is because of the shoes you wear.  

Answer 4

I dont know the technical name for this, but that is quite common when young people wear heels as much as you do for a long period of time.

My grandma wore ONLY high heels since she was 17 and her feet look like that but way worse. The foot knuckle thing by your big toe has already begun to jut out, and I think this has alot to do with your constant high heels. I know people who also wear heels and dont get this, but hey you never know.

I would suggest to either lower your heels or just reduce wearing them altogether. It is only going to get worse, since heels are not the natural structure of the foot, especially if you wear them that much,

Good luck =) I am 5"2 and I live in flats, so embrace your shortness!

Answer 5

If the swelling is really bothering you, go to the hospital. Swelling prevents healing whatever is wrong, so that's not a good sign.

Answer 6

heres my suggestion stop wearing stelletos!!!!!!! who cares if your short and btw ur not that short

Answer 7

ow that looks like it hurts!!!

Answer 8
