High heels refer to a type of shoe with a raised heel that is often worn by women and is often regarded as an attractive fashion accessory. The phrase ‘high-heeled shoes’ usually refers to high-heeled footwear, as opposed to simply ‘high heels’ which could refer to any other kind of high-heeled shoe.
Factors to consider when buying High heels
1. Height of heel:
Heels can be as low as 3″ up to 15″. It is important to choose a shoe that will allow your feet to move comfortably, but also make sure that the heels don’t get in the way or cause pain. A heel taller than 3″ is generally regarded as a high heel. Even a 3″ heel can pose problems if you aren’t used to wearing them. Short heels are easier to walk in, once you get used to them, but the extra height may make the shoes uncomfortable.
2. Width of heel:
The width of the sole on a shoe will vary from model to model but will usually range from 4mm up to 12mm in most brands. The width of the heel is very important as a wider heel means that you need more space to walk in. A wider heel will also make your feet look smaller.
3. Shape of the shoe:
The shape of the shoes is quite simply the part that sticks out from the sole and the back of the shoe. Shoes with a rounder or more square shape will be more comfortable than those with a pointed toe and pointy heels.
4. Sizes:
High heels come in a range of different sizes. For women, it is always important to make sure that the shoe you are buying is in the right size. Females have different foot dimensions and sizes will vary from brand to brand. The usual standard size for high heels is between 4 and 6, which means they are slightly bigger than most standard footwear sizes.
To buy high heels that you will enjoy wearing, you need to consider your height and look for footwear with the right heel height and a shape you like.
