**HOW TO WEAR HIGH HEELS AFTER 50** **1. Pay attention to the fit** It’s better to choose a size bigger than yours. It will allow you to place silicon layers inside the shoes which will increase their comfort level. This simple trick ensures that the shoe fits snugly but stays on the foot and does not restrict blo0d circulation. **2. Check the heel placement and thickness** To choose comfortable shoes, you need to pay attention to the distance between the heel and the sole. The higher the heel is, the shorter the distance will be. A distance of 2.5 inches is considered safe — it makes feet stand correctly with maximum steadiness. Also, when buying your new glamourous pair of shoes, check the position of the heel — it shouldn’t be “curved” — turned outward or inward. If it is, these shoes will cause too many issues when wearing them and will break down really fast too. **3. Walk in them** In order to understand how comfortable a pair of high heels are for you, you should always have a walk. Go forward and backward and even sideways. Try walking on different surfaces too, like carpets and then a bare surface inside the store. Also, remember that the right time to try and buy a pair of stilettos is in the late afternoon when your feet will be at their largest. They expand and are usually a little bit bigger and swollen at the end of the day. **4. Go for genuine leather** Genuine leather and suede shoes offer many benefits. They are not only elegant, breathable, and durable, but your feet and aesthetic sense will thank you in the long run. Leather will mold to fit your foot much easier and faster, rewarding you for your efforts in breaking it in with a perfect fit you can enjoy for years to come. **5. Give your feet some rest** Finally, if you love going around in heels most of the time, keep a spare pair of flats in your handbag to wear while commuting or at the end of a night out: this simple step will help minimize the time your feet spend in heels without interfering too much with your overall look.
