Look for Sole
The soles of your shoes should provide cushioning and protection for comfortable walking and should have enough traction to prevent slip and fall accidents.
Keep It Low
When shopping for heels, bigger isn’t better. You should look for shoes that have low, stable heels and good arch support. Because women’s feet are more likely than men’s to pronate, or turn inward, than men’s feet, the arch support will help redistribute weight throughout the foot to prevent that. Ideally, heels should be lower than two inches, but if you’re going big for a glamorous night out, limit the amount of time that you spend in your spikes and give your feet some extra pampering afterward.
Consider Flats
Flats are all the rage and are much better for our feet than high heels. The trick is to find flats wide enough to fit your feet comfortably, provide adequate arch support, and don’t have exposed seams on the inside that can rub against your feet and cause blisters.
Dress for the Task
Even if you have to dress in heels for work, you should consider what kind of commute you have to and from the office and wear comfortable walking shoes to and from work. If you’re going to stand on your feet all day for work, consider shoes that will cushion and support your feet, rather than stilettos. And if you’re going to be traveling, hiking or otherwise engaged in activities that will have you walking long distances, opt for sneakers over sandals, flip-flops or dress shoes.
