Please bring her back and ask her how to walk in heals with less pain
💯💯💯
Slow down, take smaller steps, break in new heels around the house before the day you intend to wear them outside. And of course, heel-toe, heel-toe. But *the* most important thing to remember: take smaller steps. I say this as a 39 year old Londoner who wears heels to work every day, my mother from London always wore heels to the office every day and her mother who was a hair dresser working in London wearing heels to work every day. Same advice I've given to my daughter wearing heels to events starting 13.
I find it becomes less painful overtime. I think the pain is always there, but it is something your body gets used to. If you get good quality shoes, they are usually less painful because the insole has padding and is usually leather. If you want to wear stilettos, having a platform also helps with pain.
You're Muslim, you're not supposed to look sexy outside the house, you don't need to know this.
@@TheUrbanEpicure Just because she has a Mohammed in her name doesn't mean she's a practicing Muslim. I knew sisters with Muslim parents in school, one was practicing and covered her hair and dressed the part. One wasn't a practicing Muslim and dressed like other girls at school. Their parents were Pakistani and when I met them, they respected their daughters had a choice. They were a lovely family.
So nobody’s gonna talk about how fabulous that podiatrist’s pants are? I’m obsessed 😍
Girl her whole outfit
The heels are also right in every way
Right!
Her whole outfit is great! Especially the shoes!
The whole look is great!
I had no idea those silicon pads that go around your toe even existed! So informative!
I only knew they existed because I have seen something very similar for dancers especially ballet dancers.
MarvelousSandstone Those cover all the toes
I found out recently after the ball of my foot started hurting
Scarlet Rosetta that person is not talking about toe pads. There's spacers that have that silicone flap as well.
Any info about where to buy? Good brands?
Bring a girl in with wide, flat, hobbit feet. I volunteer as tribute. I can't even find heels that my feet can fit in, why are all heels so narrow
Thank you ! I'm not the only one !
Yess
I have my favorite heels which only cover the toes and heel, my foot hangs out in the middle, but i just love them.
I’m the exact opposite! I have tiny baby feet that are super narrow, and I can never find shoes that fit
I have very wide feet but high arches and it's really difficult for me as well
I feel the pain of this. I’m petite but have flat and wide feet. Sometimes I literally cannot even fit my feet into the shoes. Just goes halfway. I hate it so much.
This was honestly so enlightening. I've always had trouble with heels and now I can see why. Thanks!
I love that almost every great doctor or medical professional I come across is Iranian!
That last foot pad was so cool though. I never seem to have that problem in heels, but I certainly have had that running in flats!
I trust anything she says because her pants and posture are amazing!🙌😍
The background music during Lillian’s part was so annoying
yeah it was like heavy metal with electric guitars?
So useful. Thank you, BuzzFeed!
Extremely helpful 🙏
Dear Sharon, thank you for your kind words, wishing you all the best
This was so informative thank you. I love heels now I know how to minimize the little annoying aches from occuring.😁🙌🏽
Hi there, thank you for your kind words, wishing you all the best
What should someone with flat feet try?
Who else tried to push the ball of their foot back? 😅🙋🏽♀️
Alternatively, don't wear heels.
I have so many flats I love them.
I have no idea why I clicked this, but she's really interesting and clearly explains things... I'm not mad I'm here
I feel the sameee
PuddingCat101 that’s totally me
Dude im a gay dude so I am baffled as to why I clicked
Literally same
Same😀
I don't care how, why, or what part of the foot we discuss next? But can we PLEASE have this specialist back in again?! She was so pleasant & informative!
Sarah Grafford agreed!!!
Agreed
I like this lady!! She speaks very clearly and explains everything very well, definitely interesting!!
Definitely
Well she is a doctor
She's so adorable indeed!
@@dessyslavavassileva8357 She's adorable, alright! I love her bob haircut
She's really into the shoe to bra analogy...
PuddingCat101 it’s something I never thought about before
Relatable for majority of women
Painful but looks cute
she's not wrong...
Yea, but I like my bras to be comfortable and my shoes to look good.
Anyone else feel the power from just the way she sits??? Like, Imma believe everything she says type of power
Yess! It adds up to show her strong character 👍🏻
Totally! She's self assured but puts everyone at ease right away talking about and touching things that a lot of people feel gross or embarrassed about. Love her!
@@poojasan7755 yazzzz! She's a Boss
Is she power sitting ? 🪑
A posture specialist came to my old job once and she told me that so many women have hip and knee problems because we squeeze our knees together when we sit. She said sitting with them spread apart, feet flat on the floor is more comfortable, and honestly, kind of powerful. You're taking up more space!
This video was honestly SO informative, but I do understand the comments about those with flat, wide, or very narrow feet. Can we get a part two with this lady? She was excellent!
Yes part 2 please
Didn’t the first girl have flatter feet ?
@@nataschalia She did but the issue they were addressing in particular wasn't specific to individuals with flat feet.
She needs her own channel. I would subscribe in a heartbeat.
YES I have the flattest feet ever. my foot makes complete contact with the floor but I love how a heel makes me look and feel. It would have been really helpful if they talked a little more in-depth on helping those of us with a flat foot problem.
I wish they had a girl that had flat feet :( like no arch
Dani Moen yes that’s what I was waiting for
same
Same 😔 or like wide feet too.
Yep that’s me
yeah and narrow feet
Take a moment to appreciate her outfit. Yeshhh Doctor
Wow, I'm glad that the RUclips algorithm showed me this. I wish more people would watch this video. The tip about having a shoe repair shop adding "invisible support" is a genius thing and something I never even thought was possible.
queenwyntir I wonder how much that costs. Like if it would be worth it for most shoes or if you should reserve that for a higher quality more expensive shoeS? Especially right now with fast fashion, you can get super cheap shoes.
@@catherinewashere1 a valid point. I myself would save it for shoes I cared a lot about or wanted to keep for longer. Deffo would not be putting extra effort into like....H&M shoes. It also probably isn't /that/ affordable :/
@@queenwyntir I had mine done for under about 25 cad? I did it a couple years ago with a cheap shoe from H&M. It's pretty easy with cheap shoes because they are just clued on versus stitched. any shoes with removable linings (ie pumps etc...) you can stick it under which works the same as well.
@@catherinewashere1 you can do it yourself, the only reason she suggested a pro is because they were sandals and you'd see the pad. Those pads have a sticky bottom and you just adhere it to the inside of your shoe.
I’m gonna need links to all the foot pads she recommended lol
Same! I have all three of those pains.... think i just need silicone socks!
@@Tivaala1 I understand you on a different level!!! Lol
@@Tivaala1 😅
Yes especially the bunion pad
All I learned as a guy is that heels = bra and I think I understand foot fetishes more now
🤣
I-
😂😂😂😂
Lol. U do u.
She really puts it into perspective I had never thought about before 🤔
Okay so every pair of heels I have need some type of padding. Got it
You can probably get away with one or two sets of padding/insoles and move them between shoes.
Emma Blomqvist yeah but I may forget to move them, so I’ll just buy more.
buy padding in bulk, it’s cheaper! just keep in storage when you get new shoes rather than buying padding each time you get some heels.
Not really, no. Only if store-bought shoes don't really fit your feet. Just like with clothes: some can get away with off the rack clothes that fit them perfectly, and some need to alter them.
High heels... the bread and butter of every podiatrist (actual quote from a podiatrist at the the clinic I worked at)
Benefit of being a wheelchair user- heels are a non issue!
♡♡♡♡
🧡💛💚💙💜
😍😍😍😍😍
I saw a girl on a wheelchair with the hottest timbaland lace up boots
I mean, you still probably wouldn't want shoes that are too small or pinch, but otherwise I can definitely see how it would be a non-issue.
So no body is gonna talk abt how Gorgeous the Doctor's shoes r ??? i want them :'(
Yeah, wheres the link to her outfit?
I ran a shoe store for 8 years and the "after 5pm rule" is spot on . I told that to people constantly ! Buy shoe when your feet are swollen from the day. And if you can, ALWAYS buy a 1/2 size bigger to be able to put gel cushions on the front. As for high heels, NEVER EVER believe a sales assistant that tells you they'll stretch if they're too tight. They will never stretch enough to be comfortable !
Everyone is talking about her beautiful outfit. I think the real magic is her smart posture. She looks gorgeous 😊
Can we talk about the Dr’s outfit. GORGEOUS!
thank you for your kind words, wishing you all the best
What is this transition from quite peaceful music to SOME DAMN METAL LOL
Hahaha I noticed too 😂 I was like, are my neighbors playing music? Oh no they're not..
Hanna van Wagensveld echt he...dacht al..zijn mn oren kapot haha
Protect this lady please!! She’s saving all of us
Honestly i think no matter how many tips you follow the truth is heels are painful. (at least for me)
Because your feet aren't built to wear heels. Sometimes for other reasons heels can help (balance, posture etc) but worn over time heels can damage the joints in your feet
Even flats hurt me so some these tips are still useful anyway
*the very first sentence of the video*
me: I should not be here, I’m an a cup, I sometime don’t even wear a bra
I don't even own a bra
jealous low key
Same,i just wear cami and choose clothes which doesnt make nipple print so obvious..
I'm an a cup too, but ever since I started wearing a brallete, I feel funny without one. Also I like a little padding so I look a bit fuller in clothes
This foot lady is really cool
Foot lady lol
@@GirlWithNoName09 😳😳🤔
What’s with the random heavy metal background music for the third girl?!
Sarznmo Same! Must be an editing error...
Why does it quietly play rock music in the back at 6:57😂
this was actually very interesting
I love this woman. She needs a RUclips channel of her own 😤
Indeed... I looked at the name and was a bit disappointed. I wanted to watch more videos from her. 😌
What about for those of us with Plantar Fasciitis, no arches/flat footed, and dealing with calluses?
Right? Because thats my issue. I have absolutely no arch in my foot.
🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
I’d would consult your podiatrist.
I have it too and podiatrist really recommends using high heals for my type of foot
I even get wounds sometimes
Some podiatrists don't recommend wear heels for an extended period of time.
I have absolutely no arch and bad ankles so wedges are my friend
I'm the same as you, I wished they had someone with fallen arches come in to see her suggestions
I recommend looking up toe and arch strengthening videos for ballerinas up hun! Just found out I have flat feet and I’ve been a dancer for a decade. Had no idea and if you’ve seen me dance you’d be dumbstruck. My saving grace is the strength in my feet. Your feet are all muscle and tendon. Make sure you’re stretching them, strengthening them, and have arch insoles!
I've got a high arch & a condition I can't remember the name of that makes walking in any shoes for an extended period of time extremely painful. I still wear heels though, I love them 😭
For your ankles, you can try "writing" the letters of the alphabet in the air with your big toe once or twice a day. Its beneficial for the whole foot/ankle.
Charlotte girl I feel my arches are sooo damm high my dance teacher used to call them “ballet feet” and any shoes are uncomfortable after a few hours i have to get custom insoles so I’m comfy at work
If only they actually put a list of these products with links. lol
I love all the heels presented there but nothing beats her heels. So classy and chic. Love her outfit. Simple yet super classy and beautiful
People with foot fetishes have entered the chat
We need a whole series with her! This is the most helpful video about wearing heels that I’ve ever watched.
I don't wear heels, but this still feels so important
So basically padding the areas that hurts in high heel shoes seems to be the common solution . Ok
Hi there, the padding you add will help but the contour and the fit of the shoe and the last of the shoe and the position of the heel and the type of material the shoe is made out of all make a huge difference, wishing you all the best
Bring her back and ask her where she supposed to put the pad if you have flat feet
Speaking of heels, I love the podiatrist’s heels!
I wear heels everyday to work. I had to sprint after my boss down the street and you better believe i can move.
Why did you need to do that?
@@noomre9105 i needed him to sign a cheque that had to go out that day snd he was leaving for a meeting
Watches video: 🤔 , throws away all bras & high heels, orders sports bras & chucks lol 😂😂 j/k
That's my start point sports bra and vans. I don't own any heels
All heels are freaking uncomfortable
They are medieval torture devices
It's a little weird that a podiatrist isn't leading off with "don't wear heels, but if you do wear them for the shortest time possible".
I have a couple incredibly comfortable pairs of heels/wedges, but they have large, rubber-based heels, not plastic, and great arch support. They were also pretty expensive-I’ve never met a comfortable pair of cheap heels.
I have my good ol Steve Madden heels that are about 4 inches tall and I have that bunion problem too! I somehow last more than an hour in without being uncomfortable due to how the heel is built! So it all depends!
@@recoil53 thats right,wearing heels can make our back over arched and ots not good for our backbone.altho her tips is very helpful to at least educate us to choose which heel is the best.
I need her when I'm choosing my heels.
Hannani Gukkie i was just thinking that
Well, I learned something today.
I needed some flat footed women in this. #TeamNoArch Still great information though!!
There is also something else I noticed with high heel shoes: the sole of the shoe should not be 45 degrees from ball of the foot to the heel. It should look like you would stand on your tip toes that way the shoe will support your arch. Compare shoes from 1930s and today, look at them from the side. The 1930s shoes are much better for your feet.
This was really informative there needs to be a part 2 for all types of feet how to pick out shoes for each and solutions like flat, wide, narrow feet and then also how to fix various problems you
May have with shoes in your closet like I have a pair of strappy shoes but after a while the straps going across my feet hurt also I always slide in my shoes how to fix that esp while wearing a open shoe
Or people with long long toes!
😂😂 perfect high heels doesn’t exist
All of them is uncomfortable !!😱😱😱
Why is she wearing a lab coat?
Hope you guys bring her back and talk about wide feet in heels
That was a very informative video
never trusted the straight heeled shoe trend (as opposed to the curved in ones) tbh it just didn't look balanced and makes your feet look weird
i never wear heels lol they always fall off, i only have boots with heels and usally platform too
I have hyperhidrosis ( my sweat glands are super effective ahaha, making me sweat a lot) on my feet and hands. I would like to know how i could make them not slip off my feet or slip inside the heel.
Gabriela Pascual I have the same problem ! I went to my podiatrist and he says a quick fix is to use spray deodorant on the bottom of your feet. Try it, it works for me!
I don't know if this is a thing, but I know you can get Botox in your underarms to reduce an overactive sweat gland. Is that an option for the feet as well?
Gabriela Pascual especially during the summer. I swear by baby powder
Dear Gabriela, thank you for your comment, using an anti perspirant spray works well for most, there are prescription strength topicals as well, please see a podiatrist, wishing you all the best
Music on this was weird why is it so intense like I'm watching an action movie lol
kept expecting "round one. fight!"
@@essentialrenee 😅
Ikr 😅
I am going to refer all of my Christian Louboutin clients to this video!
My feet are narrow so most typical heels won’t even stay on my feet. My toes have to grip onto 90% of shoes as well. Can’t wear pumps or flats or anything like that, I walk right out of them.
Dear Ruth, you can use heel grip pads, amazon carries them, you can either stick them on your heels or on the inner rim of the heel cup which will help you not slip out, also there are lots of strappy heels that are more supportive than pumps,. wishing you all the best
I always thought my problem was that I had wide feet but now I realize I have a high arch as well. This was so informative and helped me learn things to help support my feet
No actual foot dr would encourage wearing heels.
People are still going to wear them. So best to give advice based on that fact.
There's nothing wrong with wearing heels, as long as they fit you properly. By your logic, no one should be wearing skinny jeans, as well, because when they're too tight, it's bad for you. Just find jeans/shoes that *fit*.
I feel like this, too.
It's called risk management. Making a poor choice less harmful.
Exactly!
"How to find a tall guy that will match my heels"
As a guy who wears size 19 heels, I can say that it's almost impossible to find a pair that feels absolutely perfect.
Hi there, it is all about using the right pads to package your feet inside the shoe and creating an even weight distribution from your heels to your toes, good luck
@@santamonicapodiatrygroup7430 Thank you for the tip, I'll take this into consideration the next time I order.
soooo, why don't shoe manufacturers/designers design heels to have more/better/ANY padding inside???????? It's something I will NEVER understand... "These shoes are $300 and they couldn't afford to make them comfortable??? Seriously?"
You should really try the danish brand “Roccamore”. They are amazing to walk in! I have two pair of pumps from them so far ;)
It’s almost 1am and I should be sleeping.
At least I know what shoes I should wear now.
This video is the kinda content we need BuzzFeed
What heel would you recommend for flat feet? And my feet sweat a lot. Any tips to diminish this?
When you have bunions and don’t know what a stiletto is😂😂😂
Sole Bliss in the UK make elegant shoes for ladies with wide feet and/or bunions. Apparently Helen Mirren and the Duchess of Cornwall are customers.
Who is she i need a Consultation
HI there, we are located in Santa Monica, California, will be happy to see you,
Abby Towfigh from the Santa Monica Podiatry Group!
But wait...what happens if all 3 of these issues happen to you?!
Yeah I have the same question because that's the problem I have..
@@lemonsbetter I've never seen two of those silicone pads at stores I've been to. Really wish they would've said where you could get them or what they're exactly called, what's the point of showing them then?
@_Serenity I think I saw them online on Wish.. You can check the app, the delivery might take some time though
@@_serenity3298 Try searching for "Dr Scholls" online, they sell all kinds of products and pads for shoes
High heels don’t belong on feet. No matter how well they fit they’ll ruin your body regardless
Yes, and I was very surprised to see a podiatrist talking about wearing them, but I guess it's like a dentist giving candy for a good checkup.
Mari Schroedinger she wants more client with bad feet loll
I wish she talked about people who have big feet and wide feet
Caro Barahona I wear heels everyday for work. I swear by Jessica Simpson. Super comfortable and a lot of wife width options. I’ve also gone up a half size in heels only and it makes such a difference in comfort!
This was actually very helpful! Esp that first tip about the position of the heel 🤯
The background noise makes no sense for this video 😭
Humanity has been making heels on shoes that curve in and support the foot properly since we started wearing them. It wasn’t until the last century we decided to start torturing our feet by throwing ourselves off-balance. Historical reconstruction shoes are actually often quite comfy, especially with a couple inserts.
Ok, I am only 1 min into the video, but I had to come and say I love this lady's style! so chic.
thank you very much for your kind words, wishing you all the best
As soon I took weight on, I had to stop wearing hills,
Sad but true...
HILLS hate body positivity lol 😂
I have no idea why I watched this. 90% of the time I don’t even wear shoes.
In summary: don’t wear heels. 😂
Yes i have a bunion and almost give up with my heels..... But, thank God i found you :*
I miss wearing heels, my bf is too short so I’d be taller then him with them 😩
Who cares rock them all the way
Pet him like he is ur son
@@mariiaPastry001 Pet him like smol dog.
omg, this video just taught me that the process of choosing well-fitted heels is so similar to deciding which pointe shoes fit the best...
I needed this so bad I have a bunion and my foot always hurts but I wanna wear heels.
What can I do to be able to walk in high heels? My problems are that I use to have a high arch, but after my 2 child I noticed that I was starting to get “flatfoot” & it has just gotten worse over the years. And now I’m almost fully flatfoot.
My dream has always been to walk in my high heels & I have a got a few 😉
I have problems with balance in heels, pain in the arch, calf muscle & lower back. Mostly in my right side & I must say that I’m about 1-1.2 cm ( 0.40-0.60 inch) lower than the left side.
Sorry for the long rant, but I could use some help/advice .... 🙏🏽💯
I really loved the way she explained everything so well
Orthopedic shoemaker here
There is no such thing as the perfect heel for your foot. The higher the heel, the more of your bodyweight is shifted from the heel bone (back end of the foot) to the heads of the Metatarsal bones (front of the foot) WHERE IT SHOULDN'T BE AND WILL DAMAGE AND DEFORM YOUR FEET OVER TIME FFS
Lady, tell me how to stop my heels getting blisters from EVERYTHING. Even my sneakers rub my skin raw if i don't wear long enough socks. It's so annoying, I can't wear anything :(
try real leather
Same I have blisters and bruises from everything
@@louis-andromeda Yeah, I'll order sneakers with real leather ON THE INSIDE. Smart! /s
I mean she made it pretty obvious that anywhere there's looseness that will wear will cause pain. Make sure your shoes are tight but not too tight. Lots of padding.
I got blisters from a pair of leather flats and it’s because they’re too big. Add inserts to make your shoe not move as much. I put insets on the back of my heels and it’s helped. The shoes are “my size” but actually, they’re 1-2 sizes too big.
*remembering that episode of friends where monica just dumped boots that made her feet hurt*
