Comfortable shoes for women, Guide to buy online

How to find comfortable shoes for women? What should you consider when choosing them?

You’ve probably heard the phrase “Beauty is pain” more than once. And more than hearing it, you’ve surely felt it countless times when your feet can’t take it anymore from those shoes that look great but feel like walking on knives. Finding a good pair of shoes that are comfortable, stylish, and affordable isn’t easy.

But don’t worry, today I bring you a guide with tips to help you choose stylish shoes without giving up comfort. Beauty isn’t a sacrifice — it’s something to celebrate and enjoy.

Do comfortable women’s shoes exist?

Yes, yes, and yes! Let’s start with this premise — not only do they exist, but they should always be comfortable!

The two most important factors that determine the comfort of women’s shoes are the design and the materials. Specifically, the padding, the sole, and the fit. Next time you go shopping, make sure the footwear you choose meets the characteristics we explain below.

Soft material that fits the foot well and cushioned inner lining

Leather is without a doubt the best option among the materials to choose from. Leather has the ability to adapt to the shape of your foot without losing the shape of the shoe, making it a material hard to beat.

Make sure it has a comfortable insole. Leather insoles are preferable so your skin doesn’t sweat and can breathe naturally.

Flat base or low heel with a firm sole

Yes, I know. You want to look 10 cm taller. Well, I’m sorry to say it, but a 10 cm heel is not only impossible to be comfortable, it will also be bad for your feet and posture overall. Choose flat shoes or those with a low heel for times when you want a couple of extra centimetres. Our model Ameliè Ballerina with heel is perfect for elongating your figure without giving up comfort.

A good sole is just as important as the rest of the shoe. This is harder to see at first glance, but the easiest way is to choose brands known for using high-quality materials.

Flat shoes for women: why it’s important to give up the 10 cm heel

Wearing comfortable shoes in your daily life is very important — and it goes far beyond just keeping your feet happy. Blisters are one of the mildest problems that can result from wearing the wrong shoes. Using high heels for long periods of time can alter the natural alignment of your back. The body will try to compensate for the lack of balance caused by high heels by changing the posture of your back and hips. Your calves, back, and hip muscles will become tense. This muscle tension can cause fatigue and damage the ligaments, joints, and vertebral discs.

Flat shoes such as ballerinas or flat slippers are not only a safe choice for your health but also for your style. You have to admit they look gorgeous!
