Is wearing high heels like being on tiptoes all the time? Does it hurt?

Brecht B asked:

As a guy I have no idea how it’s like to be in heels. Is it like tiptoeing all the time? And does it hurt after a while?

no, because although some are extrememly high, they have the arch in it so most feel natural

No, its not like being on your tip toes, but it sure hurts like heck after a while. It is painful unless you have amazing shoes.

if it hurts its a poorly made pair of shoes, poorly fitting, or your just plain overweight..

i wear them 16 hours + a day and never face discomfort..

i wouldnt quite say its like walking tip toes.. because with tiptoes you only have your muscles to hold you on your toes.. with heels you dont have your muscles doing the work but the shoe itself to keep your heel in the air..

Not tiptoe all the time; but one should learn to walk in high heels. It also depends on heel height and type; I wear 4 or 5 inches stilettos all day no problem; but I feel bit uncomfortable wearing 6 or 7 inches of stilettos for more than 4 hours. You can avoid pain if you know 3 things about heels; where, what (type of heel & heel height) and when to wear heels.

Why don’t you get a pair and find out?
