They're your go-to shoes for parties and big-
deal office meetings. But rely on your dependable
black pumps to often,and you can shorten your Ach-
illes tendon(which connects the calf muscle to the
heel)to the point that it's actually painful to
wear flats. Fashion-forward? Worry not-there are
plenty of tendy,foot friendly dress shoes out
there.
When on the hunt,keep in mind that the biggest
high-heel no-no is a small toe box. A pointy shoes
can pinch the nerves on your toes,causing a painful
thickening of tissue known neuroma,usually injec-
tions of steriods or novocaine.Pressure on your
toes can also lad into corns,hammertoes and bun-
ions.
All get better with a switch to roomier footwear
but may eventually require surgery. How can you tell
if a high heel fits properly?Trace the shoes's sole on a piece of paper,then trace your foot over
it in another color,suggests Marc A. Brenner, M,D.,head of the Institute of Diabetic Foot Research in the United States. "You'll see if the
foot doesn't fit into the shoe: A pointy shoe may
be two sizes too small!"
