How Do You Recover From Wearing High Heels?


When we buy new heels, we already know the repercussions that come along with the purchase. We know the pitch will be steep. We know the heels are probably two inches too high. Most importantly, we know our feet are going to be in pain the next day.
Killer heels are often killer in more than one way, and I knew all of that when I bought my pair of Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps.
You may grin and bear it because you love your shoes, but the next day you curse yourself and your sartorial choices. After wearing my So Kates for the first time, the first thing I did as soon as I got home was slip my feet into a fuzzy pair of slippers.
Over that weekend, I read an article from The Coveteur that explained the importance of after-care when you wear your highest heels and the various exercises to alleviate the pain to both your calves and feet.
After reading, I realized that when I wear heels, I don’t do any of the things the article suggests, which included calf stretches and rubbing the arches of my feet with a frozen water bottle.
I simply slip my feet into slippers and comfy shoes for a day or so until I feel like I’ve recovered, and then my feet go back into heels the next weekend.
This was my wake-up call to start taking care of my feet after a night out in my Louboutin and Onlymaker, and we want to know how you recover when you wear those killer heels?
