Sore feet

Jon posted an identical thread to this one in "For the guys" but I was hoping to get some input from the girls as you're more likely to be wearing heels for long periods.

Does the pain in the balls of your feet from wearing heels go away as you get more used to them, or does it still hurt and you just get used to the pain? Since I've been going out in heels I've had a couple of nights where I've not been careful to sit down every now and then, and ended up with really sore feet at the end of the night. Would it help if I practised standing in heels while watching TV in the evening for example, or should I just accept that if I'm going to wear them I should limit the amount of walking?

I have them, and they are good. The last time I went out in heels I didn't put them in though and regretted it later.

you know you can get party feet "spots"

and apparentally bongela does a good job of numbing the pain a bit

What are party feet spots? I was asking one of my friends about this the other night, and she said that the ibuprofen gel was good for sore feet too. She wears heels most of the time and still gets sore feet after a big night out, so it looks like it's a case of trying to prevent it as much as possible.

In answer to the original question. No. The pain doesn't go away the more you wear heels. That's why people like Scholl make 'PartyFeet'. Also - the necessity for treating your feet with balms, moisturisers - and pumice to remove hard skin stays also.

It's a simple fact of Human dynamics - a lot of weight concentrated on a small - and soft area - leads to discomfort and wear - which requires constant maintenance (or pampering).

Thanks Pussy. I think I'm going to avoid using pain relief gel except as aftercare if I have overdone it. I'd rather have my sore feet telling me to sit down for a while, than have the pain numbed and risk damaging my feet.

Actually, it gets much worse than that. If your feet are numb and/or you're ignoring the pain, you could hurt your ankles, knees, or even yer back rather severely. Far better to have the pain in yer feet notifying you that it's time to sit down and take off the heels than to really hurt yourself and spend the next few days trying to get straightened out.

Where have you been going out that caused the pain? To a club, shopping, walking around town, etc?
