Queen Siaka Nimat unveils how to manage shoe discomforts

'Give your feet a breathing space for once'

‘Your feet need some tender loving care (TLC)’

Who else can lecture us authoritatively on shoe discomforts if not a beauty queen Queen Siaka Nimat (Miss Curvy Nigeria Tourism) who wears heels most times when she attends glamorous events?

She says that some kinds of pain are difficult to avoid, “but one that's largely preventable is foot pain. Most often you can trace foot pain directly to the shoes you decide to wear. And no matter how they hurt, you must wear them if you are ready for red carpet events. That is why I keep saying that our feet do a lot for us every day, hence they need some Tender Loving Care in return. So ponder over these tips below,” she giggles.

'If these are too high for you, opt for lower heels'

* Insist on Comfort

 If you love heels and you can’t walk well in five or six-inch- heel, try shorter ones. A two-inch heel is better than a four-inch heel.

* Don't wear heels every day 

 Don’t wear them when you will be on your feet for a long time. Choose chunky heels instead of skinny ones if you have flat feet.

* Ease the Stress

Extra weight can lead to muscle fatigue as well as heel, arch, and muscle pain. Maybe when you are in your house or you are strolling, wear comfortable slippers. Just as I’m wearing in this pix.

If your shoes arch, slip them off a bit'
