Although we want you to be Stylish Moms, we realize that there is nothing stylish about foot pain. Shoe-related injuries can range from bunions and calluses to more extreme pain in the ball of the foot that can quickly cause permanent nerve damage. And, studies show that women will continue to wear high heels even if they cause them pain and discomfort.
With summer here, Scarpasa (a unique online shoe boutique) believes that looking chic and feeling good doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive. Below are their top six tips for kicking foot pain and still enjoying your summer in style!
– Avoid heels of any height that are too tight and that don’t cater to the natural shape of your individual foot. The shoe should fit your foot, your foot should not fit the shoe. Feet are largest at the end of the day, so when in doubt, try on your shoes at the end of the day.
– Check the fit. While too-tight shoes are less than ideal, so are shoes that are too big. Wearing shoes that are too big causes the foot to slide forward, creating more pressure on your toes.
– Try a thicker heel for improved balance and even weight distribution when walking.

1. Whether you’re thin or heavy, baggy clothes are just plain unattractive and tent-like. They just hide your body and make you appear as if you are not confident. Choose comfortable clothing that lightly skims the body, especially around the waist and hips. If you must wear one baggy item, make sure you wear another form-fitting item. For example, choose a fitting top with a ruffled skirt. Or wear skinny jeans with a loose peasant top.
2. Unless it’s the dead of winter, try to keep your neckline open. V-necks are particularly flattering. Showing a bit of cleavage is fine. Just make sure your clothing is appropriate to the occasion (Funerals and business meetings are not the place to show off your ta-tas!) . And please make sure that your “girls” are not spilling out from your clothing. You want to look curvy, not trashy.If you really want to play the part of the vamp, wear a necklace or dangling earrings that will draw even more attention to your decolletage.
3. Wrap dresses and skirts cut on the bias flatter just about every body type, and pay homage to your curves. Skirts that fall just above the knee are the most attractive length for most women.
4. Buy jackets that are cinched in at the waist. Opt for dresses with tie back sashes. These styles will show off your hourglass figure. And if you don’t happen to have an hourglass figure, they will help visually create one. Wearing a wide belt with pants will also help draw attention to your waist.
5. If you’re very skinny or small-busted, wearing form fitting layers can help create the illusion of having more on top. Flowing fabrics that have a lot of movement, like chiffon, will also make you look even curvier.
