The Heights of High Heels

25 April 2009 18,814 views Comments

Women’s high heels come in varying heights. Some high heel shoes can reach heights of 4,5 and even 6 inches. This year spring’s sexiest heels will give your wardrobe a little umph! and an extra lift. What woman doesn’t love a little extra height or the look that high heels give their legs. I found some delightful jewels for your feet that will have you floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee.

Extreme Heels - Must know

  • Choose a curved platform. Women love high heels and for some the higher, the better! For a little more added comfort when strutting around in towering heels go for a curved platform so that the shoe rocks forward when you walk. This will also help take stress off the balls of the feet.
  • Keep a lean silhouette. When you have on those sexy super-high heels make sure you do them justice by wearing a pair of skinny jeans or a short skirt. This helps draw more attention to the shoe and just looks better. DO NOT!, I repeat DO NOT! attempt to wear your heels with wide-leg pants.
  • Wear with caution. Wearing shoes like these can come with complications like lower-back problems, bunions and hammertoe if worn too often, so give your feet a break from the sexy heels every now and then. Make sure to practice proper foot care when wearing these types of shoes. If you have pre-existing problems you should stick with a 2 inch to 2 1/2 inch heel.
