Omawumi a newly employed
marketer at Finesse Global, a top furniture company in the city of Lagos has
spent the last week planning her slay on her first day at work. She had
fantasized about this day way before, she had gone for the interview. Being a
fashion lover, she purchased nude red bottoms six inches pumps as a gift for
her win. "The goal is to look sexy and confident, my nude red bottoms is
the best man for the job,” she said to herself. She thought of how good she
will look, how elegant she will walk, and how her entire aura will exude
confidence. Unfortunately, it didn't go as she had planned. Arriving at her new
place of work, her first day was a completely different scenario than the one
she had envisioned. She had so much walking around to do. Her office was a long
walk away from the car park so before she got into her office she was already
exhausted from the walk. 

Between the long walk from
the park and all the various meetings she had to attend, Omawumi was worn out
before noon which affected her entire mood. Her attempt to mask her pain
underneath her smile failed. Her facial expressions sent the wrong messages. 

Just like Omawumi, we
have all been at the place where we want to rock the most sophisticated heels
without considering if it is the best fit for the occasion. We all experience
that desire of wanting and, even taking steps to purchase a shoe just because we
are so impressed with how the shoe looks. We decide to buy it even though we
know fully well that it will cause discomfort. Generally, heels help improve
our appearance making us look more attractive but investing in the right heels
gives you that confident glow you really need. When we choose sophistication
over elegance or comfortable shoes we expose ourselves to great discomfort. Most
times these heels could leave us in much pain that it affects our charisma. As
an elegant woman, it is important you know how to dress your feet.

I understand that shoes
are the first thing most people notice in a person hence the desire to always
make a statement with our heels. In making a statement, it is important to remember
just as heels boost our confidence, it could also reduce our demeanor. As much
as that red bottom stiletto you see, shining through the glass of the shop as
you walk down your street is pretty, it doesn't mean it is the right fit for
you. It could end up being a bigger or smaller size. &nbsp;

&nbsp;In choosing the right heel consider the size
of your feet. If you have a narrow foot, always ensure that your shoes have a
firm grip on you. Don't invest in shoes with wide faces as your toes could end
up slipping through the shoe. If you have a wide foot, don't invest in shoes
with slim leather. A slim leather could inflict pain on your feet and could
also stop blood flow. Gladiator heels are not the best fit for people with wide
feet as they usually have very slim leather. Always measure your feet. The same
way our body increases is the same way our feet size increases. It is important
to be kept up to date regarding our feet size so you avoid buying the wrong size.
Ensure that your shoes are not too narrow. The lip of your pump should not cover
the bone on your big toes to avoid bunions. 

Consider the event you
are going for. If you are going to spend more hours standing or walking it is
advised to go for heels with lesser inches. Standing or walking for long hours
with high heels will leave you with back aches. Invest in shoe gadgets like t-shape
insoles, heel grips, stretchers, and shoe pads. These gadgets will give your
feet additional comfort while wearing heels. The heel of your shoe should
always be pointed inside and not outside so your shoe has a hold on you. 

Always remember to pursue
comfort which gives elegance to your look than sophistication which will leave
you in pain.
