Hi Girls,
I have been given a promotion at work - in the new year I'll be taking on more responsibility, especially in meeting people, talking to clients, showing them round etc. This means I have to look smart. I must wear a suit - skirt or trousers. But I feel I must go for it and start wearing high heels to work - all day every day! Other shoes just don't seem to give the right sharp professional image.
The problem is that I don't often wear heels and when I do (parties etc.) I find them rather painful. But I am determined to do this - I have slummed around in flats for too long. It's time to get on my toes!
What I want to know is do any of you have any advice. How should I prepare myself for this. Should I just wear heels as much as possible before I start the new job in January? And how high should I go. I want to wear 4 inch heels - shorter than this doesn't seem to give the right shape at the ankle and the right height. Do any of you know any exercises I can do to prepare my feet and ankles and how long will it be before heels start to feel normal.
Do any of you wear heels all day at work and, if so, how do you cope? Is there anyone else who is trying to get into waering heels who would like to share tips or advice or give encouragement?
I'd be so grateful for any help or advice!
Thanks,
Charlotte
