If you’re like me, you have a dozen pairs of high heel shoes in your closet with the hopes of adding another dozen to your collection soon. High heels look stylish and are a great way to accent any outfit, including cute cocktail dresses, fashionable designer pantsuits, or even with your favorite pair of jeans.

But, let’s be honest, high heels aren’t usually comfortable or easy to walk in. So, check out these seven tips that will help make wearing high heels much more comfortable.

Add Insoles to Your Shoes

Inserting cushions or insoles into your high heels help shoes properly support your arches, making walking in heels easier and less painful. In fact, many of today’s inserts include memory foam technology, medical grade gel, pain-reducing heel cups, and/or a customizable fit. The extra-soft cushioning in many of these inserts help keep you in your heels all day without any discomfort. Check out this review of the best high-heel inserts.

Try Cooling Menthol Spray

Consider this tip that some movie starlets use: Spray Still Standing (or a similar product) on your feet. This product includes a mix of cooling menthol and herbal remedies that help prevent blisters and soothe swelling. Just mist the product over your feet, give it a few minutes to dry, put on your heels, and then head out the door.

Tape Your Toes

This high-heel-wearing hack requires you to tape your third and fourth toes together (count down from your big toe, which is toe #1) using medical tape. This helps ease the pain sometimes caused by wearing high heels.

“The proof is in the science: There’s a nerve that splits between those two toes, which causes pain when pressure is put on it (like when you wear heels). The tape helps to remove strain on the nerve,” according to Melissa Frankel of dailymom.com.

Wear Hosiery for Added Stability

Wearing hosiery with your high heels helps your feet better grip the high-heel surface, leading to enhanced stability while walking. It’s also said that wearing nylons makes wearing high heels more comfortable.

Rub Cannabis Oil on Your Feet

Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, has many benefits. CBD oil is known to provide relief from depression, pain, and anxiety. Plus, it helps reduce inflammation and also has anti-acne properties. But one other recommended use is to use CBD oil on your feet to help reduce any pain associated with wearing high heels.

Scuff the Soles

Wearing high heels can be an accident waiting to happen, especially if your shoes are slippery. So, just scuff up the soles of your high heels a little bit to make them less slippery and easier to walk in. To scuff them up, just rub the soles of the heels on the driveway or use sandpaper to buff the soles, and you’ll have slip-resistant heels in no time.
