Be ready for compliments when you wear the right heels for your feet type. Shhh! The comfort is complimentary!
Heels are a popular footwear option for many women, but choosing the right heel style can be challenging, especially if you have a specific foot arch type.
The wrong heel style can lead to various problems, from foot pain and discomfort to more severe issues such as injury. This blog post will discuss the most popular heel styles for different foot arch types and the problems that can occur using the wrong heel type.
First, let's talk about the different types of foot arches. There are three main types: high, medium, and low angles. High arches are characterized by a large gap between the heel and the arch, while low arches have a minimal gap. Medium arches fall somewhere in between.

High Arches -

If you have high arches, it's vital to choose heels that provide extra support and cushioning. Block heels, chunky heels, and wedges are all great options for high arches. These styles provide more surface area for the foot to rest on, which helps distribute weight more evenly and reduces pressure on the arch. Wearing heels without proper support and cushioning can lead to pain and discomfort in the ball of the foot and in the heel and ankle. High arches are also more prone to injuries such as sprains and strains.

Medium Arches -

If you have medium arches, you have more flexibility when it comes to heel styles. You can comfortably wear most heel styles, including stilettos, kitten heels, and even platforms. However, it's essential to ensure that the heel is not too high, as this can lead to pain and discomfort in the ball of the foot. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that the heel is not too narrow, as this can lead to pain and discomfort in the toes.

Low Arches –

Low arches are the most common foot arch types, so it's vital to choose heels that provide extra support and cushioning. Wedges and chunky heels are great options for low arches. These styles offer more surface area for the foot to rest on, which helps distribute weight more evenly and reduces pressure on the arch. Avoid high heels. They tend to be less stable and cause more strain on the foot. Wearing heels that are too high or too narrow can lead to pain and discomfort in the ball of the foot and in the heel and ankle. Low arches are also more prone to injuries such as sprains and strains.
Here is a description of each heel type mentioned above to help you understand and choose the right footwear.

Block Heels

 Block heels have a wide, stable base. They are typically thicker than stiletto heels and provide more support for the foot. They are usually between 1-3 inches in height and can be made of wood, rubber, or plastic. They are famous for those with high arches, as they provide more surface area for the foot to rest on and distribute weight more evenly.

 Wedges are heels that have a broad base that extends all the way to the toe. They are typically between 2-4 inches in height and can be made of various materials like cork, espadrille, or jute. They are popular for those with high or low arches, as they provide more surface area for the foot to rest on and distribute weight more evenly.

They are typically between 2-4 inches in height and can be made of wood, rubber, or plastic. They are famous for those with medium arches, as they provide more surface area for the foot to rest on and distribute weight more evenly.

Medium arches can handle most heel styles, while low arches should stick to wedges and chunky heels. With the right heel style, you can look and feel great in your heels all day long! Always make sure to pay attention to the height, width and support of the heel. If you feel any pain or discomfort, it's essential to take a break and give your feet a rest, and if the pain persists, consult with a podiatrist.
