Choose stilettos in your size and put them on. Try to raise your heels up 1 inch (2.5 cm). You should be able to do this comfortably if the shoes fit properly. Your toes shouldn't feel pinched and there should be no gap between the arch of the shoe and your feet. If you're buying stilettos, place them on a flat surface and tap the sides. The shoes shouldn't wobble or fall over. Consider purchasing stilettos made of a material, such as leather, that will stretch slightly. Before you break in a new pair of stilettos or while you're getting used to walking in your pair, place toe gels, moleskin insoles, arch supports, heel pads, or blister strips into the shoes. These will cushion your feet and prevent rubbing that could cause painful calluses. If you're not sure where to put insoles or supports, wear the stilettos for about 5 minutes and pay attention to wear the shoes are hurting your feet. Use duct or medical tape to wrap your third and fourth toes together. This will reduce the amount of pressure on the nerve between these two toes. Remove the tape when you take your stilettos off and stretch your toes. It's easy to think that once you get used to wearing high heels, you can purchase a new pair of stilettos and wear them right out. Since each pair of shoes is different, your feet need a chance to adjust to the material, fit, and feel of the shoes. Wear them around the house until they feel comfortable. Then you can wear them out. It's fine to wear stilettos on carpet or rugs in your house. The point is to get your feet used to how the shoes feel. If you're planning on wearing stilettos to the office or a social event, have a comfortable pair of shoes ready to change into if your feet start hurting. You can also take breaks and change back into your stilettos throughout the day. For example, commute in comfortable flats and change into stilettos when you arrive at the event or office. Rest your feet after wearing stilettos. Fill a small basin or bath with water and dissolve some Epsom salt in it. Then soak your feet for up to 20 minutes. Once you get your feet out of the water, dry them and massage moisturizer into your feet. To massage your feet, use your thumbs to rub the balls of your feet using a circular motion. Then massage towards the heels of your feet. Do this as much as you like.
