I think the ease of purchasing online shoes in Australia has a lot to answer for. These days my wardrobe is full of shiny new pumps waiting for a night out. With so many new heels to wear in, I’ve noticed after a big night out my feet are particular sore. As I keep wearing my new shoes, it seems my feet always take a bit of beating. If you have struggled with sore feet inflicted from high heel usage, below are five tips to help sooth your poor, abused feet.
Go barefoot
After a night on the town with your favourite heels, it’s important to give your feet time to heal. Going barefoot is an extremely important part of the healing process. Blisters, swelling and bruises heal best when they’re not enclosed in shoes, so let your feet breath easy on their own.
Treat any open blisters
If you’ve awoken to a nasty blister on your foot after a big night out in your hells, make sure you attend to them. In no situation is it ok to pop the blisters. While you may think it will help, it actually makes it worse. In fact, a blister is actually like a natural bandaid, and is created by the body to make sure the skin underneath stays nice and clean. Instead, disinfect the area and pop a bandaid on top.
Soak your feet
You have most likely put a lot of undeserved strain on your poor little feet after a night of high heel abuse. To say sorry to your feet, draw a warm foot bath and let your feet soak. At first when you sink your feet into the hot water it may sting slightly, but you need to push past the pain. Soon the hot water will start to work and end up soothing your muscles. If you’ve particularly thrashed your feet on a night out, try dripping in some essential oils to provide extra soothing. Essential oils known for their healing power include basil, marjoram and peppermint.
Wait
In most cases, if you’re a lover of high heels, you want to be back parading around in your highest pair as soon as possible. The bad news is, wearing heels straight after you’ve already done damage to your feet, will only result in more damage. Trust me, damage on damage is not good. Much patience is needed during the healing time to ensure you don’t cause major damage to your feet. It’s important to stay off those fabulous new heels you’ve just bought, until your feet have stopped hurting and all the wounds are healed.
Get a pedicure
While high heels are pretty, your feet after wearing them for long periods of time are not. To inject a bit of beauty back into your feet, a pedicure is a good idea. While most women think a pedicure is just a new layer of toe nail polish, it’s much more than that. A good beautician will exfoliate your feet as well as pumice the calluses you’ve built up on your feet, away. Lets not forget the beautiful new hue of nail polish that will give your feet a new lease on life.
If your feet are recovering from high heel abuse, sit back at do a bit of online shopping. Check out the online shoes available from Shoe Shed at www.shoeshed.com.au.
