Christian Louboutin “So Kate” heels are such an iconic heel, but anyone who owns a pair knows that they are the most uncomfortable shoe you probably own! Is spending $700 for the worlds most uncomfortable heel worth it? Well to me.. yes absolutely, you just need to know a few things before you wear them out. Today I’m sharing my top 6 tips for how to walk comfortably in your Louboutin “So Kate” Heels. These tips include my personal recommendations for wearing high heels plus a few products that target heel pain directly. If you’re not addicted to high heels already you will be after reading this!
To walk comfortably in heels you need to:
Break them in
Breaking heels in is a real thing! The idea here is to give your heels the opportunity to stretch out and conform to your feet. It probably took me over a year to break in my “So Kates” because I wore them in small amounts at a time. But over time and the more you wear a pair of heels the better your feet will conform to them.
Practice
If you’re not use to wearing heels, don’t go straight to wearing “So Kate” Louboutin heels. There is nothing worse than someone who doesn’t know how to walk in heels! With that said, walking in heels does take practice. And we all know that practice makes perfect! Start with a smaller heel, then go for a bigger heel and finally you’ll work your way up to a pair of Louboutins.
Dress for the occasion
Try to wear your So Kate heels only when you know that you won’t be doing too much walking! They are the perfect lunch or dinner date heel! Giving your feet a little break to sit down while you enjoy your meal really does make a big difference. The less standing and walking you do will help rest your feet and trust me, your feet will thank you the next day. And for those long nights out, do yourself a favor and just wear a different pair of heels! Louboutin So Kate heels are the sexiest pair of heels of heels you will own, but you have to be strategic on when to wear them.
Rest your feet in private
I always always always rest my feet as much as possible before and after going out. Walking to my car, i’m wearing flats. Driving in my car, i’m wearing flats. Then when I arrive wherever I’m going I slip on my Louboutin heels and walah.. ready to strut.
Products you need to walk comfortably in heels:
Foot petals
I have these foot petals in basically every heel that I own! They are a little cushion that goes inside the front of your shoe and they seriously work! High heels can be so painful because of the pressure that is put on the ball of your feet. These foot petals distribute the pressure and help absorb the pressure. I swear by them because they make any type of heel more comfortable!
Sole serum
This sole serum is pure magic! Well it’s actually topical lidocaine that literally numbs your feet. Rub in on your feet, let it dry, and then slip on those Louboutins and you’ll be pain free! It works pretty fast after you apply it, but you will need to reapply it throughout the day becasue it does wear off. The bottle is also the perfect size to throw in your purse and carry with you.
There is nothing sexier than the way a woman walks in heels and there is nothing worse than high heel pain! I hope my tips make it easier for you to strut your stuff in your sexy Christian Louboutin “So Kate” heels!
