How to find comfortable women’s shoes? What should you bear in mind when choosing them?

You’ve probably heard the saying “Beauty is pain” more than once. And more than hearing it, you’ve likely felt it countless times when your feet can no longer cope with those shoes that look lovely but feel like walking on blades. Finding a pair that’s both comfortable, stylish, and affordable isn’t easy.

But don’t worry — today I bring you a guide with tips to help you choose fashionable shoes without compromising on 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 begin with this premise — not only do they exist, but they should always be so!

The two most important factors determining the comfort of women’s shoes are the design and the materials. In particular, the padding, the sole, and the fit. Next time you go shopping, make sure the footwear you choose meets the characteristics described below.

Soft material that fits the foot well and a padded inner lining

Leather is undoubtedly the best option among the materials to choose from. It moulds to the shape of your foot without losing the shoe’s structure, making it a material that’s hard to surpass.

Ensure it has a comfortable insole. Leather insoles are preferable as they allow your skin to breathe naturally without perspiring.

Flat base or low heel with a firm sole

Yes, I know. You want to appear 10 cm taller. I’m sorry to tell you, but a 10 cm heel is not only uncomfortable but also harmful for your feet and posture. Opt for flat shoes or those with a low heel for moments when you want a few extra centimetres. Our Ameliè Ballerina with heel is perfect for flattering your figure without compromising comfort.

A good sole is as important as the rest of the shoe. It’s harder to spot at first glance, but the easiest way is to choose brands recognised for using quality materials.

Women’s flat shoes: why it’s important to give up the 10 cm heel

Wearing comfortable shoes in your everyday life is very important — and it goes beyond simply keeping your feet happy. Blisters are one of the mildest problems that can occur from wearing unsuitable footwear. Wearing high heels for long periods can alter the natural alignment of your spine. The body will attempt to compensate for the imbalance caused by high heels by adjusting the posture of your back and hips. The calves, back, and hip muscles will become tense. This muscle tension may 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 must admit they look lovely!
