When it comes to choosing wedding heels, you might think the higher the heel the better. However, before you choose the sexy 4 inch heel, you might want to give your feet another thought, after all they will take a bit of a battering on your wedding day.

You need to wear your wedding heels all day, from walking down the aisle to dancing at the reception so they need to be bearable if not comfy. While it is acceptable to take your wedding heels off at the end of the night (after your first dance of course!) it won’t look fantastic and you might trip on the hem of your wedding dress – you’ve seen all those wedding videos right?

When choosing the height of your wedding heels, first think about the size of the heel you normally wear. This is a good indication of what the height of your wedding heels should be. For example if you’re used to wearing flat shoes don’t choose a wedding heel higher than 2 inches, otherwise you may struggle to walk down the aisle in a graceful fashion and you might not even make it to the first dance without ripping them off and tending to your painful blistered feet. If you normally spend your days in a 3 inch heel then anything up to 4 inches will be fine.

A good rule of thumb is that for every half inch increase in heel height than you’re used to wearing, will hurt your feet 30 minutes earlier than normal due to the extra pressure on your feet. There are also a wide range of shoe cushions available such as party feet which can help to alleviate the pressure that some wedding heels can put on your feet.

Once you’ve chosen your wedding heels make sure you wear them in by wearing them in the house for a few days, this will allow them to stretch to your feet and if they are going to rub then any sensitive skin or blisters they may cause will be healed by your wedding day and you’ll be aware of any problems your wedding heels may cause before your wedding day.
