Keep these five tips in mind while shopping for heels:
Go for padded footwear. Press your thumb along the ball of the foot area and the arch. If your thumb springs back, the padding is good enough.

Prefer rounded toes over pointy toes and wedges over stilettos.
Walk on the hard floor and not on the carpet while testing a footwear in a showroom.
Don't compromise on the price, comfy shoes are always expensive because of the extra padding and technology.
The most common myth about shoes is that, you have to break them in. On the contrary, the shoe should mould itself according to your feet's shape.
