Although many companies have adopted casual dress code in the past decade, when it comes to the “boardroom formal” dress code, women are expected to project a professional image and convey executive presence. A high heel is needed. And even if you are passionate about beautiful shoes, sometimes you would probably rather put on a pair of flats instead.
We all have a love-hate relationship with our high heels and it will remain so. And I know you have been lying that they are not that bad, in fact they can even be comfortable, but inside you go “Ouch!”Let’s be honest, high heels are really a torture. They make us beautiful, that’s true. Taller, skinnier, and give your walk a sensual sway. They look good with formal prom dresses and other special occasion dresses like those you can find from Happyprom. They complete and personalize the look. But spending a whole day in high heel shoes, you need these strategies to stay standing and to hold out as long as possible on your heels.

Try them before you buy them
The first advice that I can give you is surely this: buy your heels in store where you can try them on.
Walk around in them for a bit, and try standing in them. You will see right away if they’ll do for you. If they bother you a little now, later they will become a real torture.
If you prefer buying online, that is fine as well. Just make sure that you have check their size chart carefully, and the store has a good return policy.
Invest in gel insoles
If the heels are high you should consider making a small investment on gel insoles. These attenuate the pressure on the front of the foot and prevent the foot from sliding too far forward if you are wearing open-toes. There are also strips of gel that can be applied on the edges of the shoe to make it more comfortable.
Wear socks
The sock reduces friction of the shoe on the foot and endurance times on your high heels will increase dramatically. If you have the chance, and if the type of shoe allows it, wear socks, even the thinnest ones. You will absolutely notice the difference.
Choose chunky
Compared with stilettos, thick heels that stabilize the foot and ankle are certainly more comfortable and now they are also fashionable! Mainly if you are the first steps in heels I recommend that you choose shoes with chunky heels.
Wear Moleskine
Moleskine is a soft padding that can be cut any way you want to, so it fits your foot perfectly. It can cover any trouble spots you have on your feet and it molds to the shape of your feet better than a bandage. And it won’t unstick and hang after an hour of walking.
Wear flats whenever you can
High heels have the stigma of being bad for both comfort and health. If you have to wear, then make sure to choose more feet-friendly shoes.
You can wore a pair of flats if it is a casual or semi-formal party. And you will be able to dance the night away and still able to walk the next day.
