HEELS

There is nothing better than open a shoe box to find a fresh new pair of heels ready and waiting for you to slip on. We put a lot of emphasis on getting the right outfit for our body shape. But how many of us actually get the right shoes for our body type?

Those with short and thick legs:



Draw the attention away from your short and not-so-slim legs by opting for a pair of simple heels in bright hues or striking prints, or pointy slingbacks.



Those with small and petite legs:



Heels, wedges and platforms without straps are your best choices. Not only they give you some extra height, but they also give you the illusions of longer legs.



Those with tall and thin legs:



Thanks to you towering height and limbs, you can wear almost any type of shoes from ballet flats to strappy sandals. But if wearing heels make you look like a skyscraper, switch to kitten heels instead.



Those with muscular legs:



Toned legs are not so bad. You can make them look hotter and leaner with a pair of pointy or peep toe sky-high heels or stilettos.

However, there is nothing worse than having to break in a pair of heels. Here are a few quick tips on how to cut down the time (and pain) of breaking in those new sky high heels!

Tip #1:
Do it gradually: Bring them to the office. Slip them on while you are sitting at your desk for an hour or so each day.

Tip #2:
Rough them up: Use a small piece of sandpaper (medium coarse) to scuff up the bottom of the shoe, this will help prevent slipperiness on certain surfaces.

Tip #3:
Too tight?: If they are really tight try walking around in them while wearing slightly damp socks. I know this sounds strange, but this will soften them and stretch them out. Or you may rub petroleum jelly (vasaline is a common brand) in the areas that are tight or uncomfortable! It prevents blisters and does NOT get slippery!


Hope you find these helpful =]
