Comfortable shoes for women, a guide to shopping 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 likely felt it countless times when your feet just can’t take any more of those shoes that, yes, look lovely, but feel like walking on knives with every step. Finding a good pair of shoes that are both comfortable and stylish, and that won’t burn a hole in your wallet, is not easy. But don’t despair, today I’m bringing you a guide with tips for choosing the perfect stylish shoe without compromising on comfort. Beauty is not a sacrifice; beauty is to be celebrated and enjoyed.

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 design and materials. Specifically, the padding, the sole, and the fit. The next time you go shopping, make sure that the footwear you choose meets the following characteristics:

  • Soft material that fits well to the foot. Leather is undoubtedly the best option among the materials to choose from. Leather has the ability to mould to the shape of your foot without losing the shape of the shoe. This makes it a material that is hard to beat.
  • Padded lining inside. Make sure it has a comfortable insole. Leather insoles are preferable as they allow your foot to breathe naturally without causing excessive sweating.
  • Flat base or low heel. Yes, I know. Many want to look 10 cm taller. But I’m sorry to tell you that a 10 cm heel is not only impossible to be comfortable, but it will also be bad for your feet and posture in general. Opt for flat shoes or those with a low heel when you want a couple of extra centimetres. Our Amelie model with a heel is perfect for elongating your figure without compromising on comfort.
  • Firm sole. 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 that are known for using high-quality materials.

Flat Shoes for Women: Why It’s Important to Ditch the 10 cm Heel

Wearing comfortable shoes in your day-to-day life is very important. And it goes beyond just keeping your feet happy. Wearing low-quality or uncomfortable shoes can lead to health problems not only for your feet but also for your back and the rest of your body. Blisters are one of the mildest problems that can arise from wearing unsuitable shoes. Wearing heels for long periods of time can alter the natural alignment of your back. Your 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 muscular tension can cause fatigue and damage the ligaments in your back, joints, and spinal discs.

Flat shoes, like ballerinas, are not only a safe bet for your health but also for your style. You have to admit, they look gorgeous!
