Summer Heels

 

 

How can girls walk with big heels on? That’s what all guys keep wondering.

Well a short answer to that would be,

Fashion! Above comfort.

Fashion takes turns as the seasons change. Winter, summer and fall fashion vary drastically due to the obvious reason, but the core reason being the fact that one can take inspiration from everything and anything; be it seasons, events or trends of that time. Summer heels are not much different from winter or fall heels. But there’s definitely a difference in inspiration. Summer heels tend to be more open, airy, strappy and there’s always a lot going on. While winter heels are mostly stilettos with pointed front to give off a more muted look.

It is said that

‘You can wear anything as long as you put a nice pair of shoes with it.’ 

 

Trends come and go, but some evergreen ones stay. The odd ones or the bizarre fashion doesn’t stay for long, they are just meant to market a particular brand name. Same is the case when it comes to footwear. Online brands like shein and princess polly launch odd footwear styles just to get their names forward and word across.

 

How to Choose the Right Fit for Shoe:

The proper footwear may ease physical exertion, keep your feet healthy, and protect your body from harm. Doctors also recommend an appropriate shoe for running, jogging or hiking. A proper shoe means comfort.

If you select a shoe that fits you well, is appropriate for your activity level, addresses any foot issues you may have, and helps protect your feet, legs, and joints, you will be more at ease when exercising.

In an ideal footwear cushioning for the foot is mostly provided by the mid sole of the shoe. Unexpectedly, shoes don’t significantly lessen the force that passes through the body. However, they lengthen the time it takes for that force to act, giving the body more time to adapt and support the foot. Your shoe should help your foot stay in alignment as it strikes the ground.

A shoe that fits well – make sure you have at least 1 to 1.5 cm at the end of the shoe. Comfort comes first- Your shoe should immediately feel comfortable from the first use.

It must be long and wide enough to accommodate your feet.

It should be snug in the shoe but not too tight.
