Don't suffer with pain from heels this LFW
London Fashion Week is here and that means there's going to be some sore feet hobbling over the cobbles in Somerset House.
We have the tips from Tim Hutchful, British Chiropractic Association chiropractor on choosing appropriate footwear and how best to walk in heels:
“Good footwear is an essential. Our feet carry all of our weight and the shoes we choose have a lot to do with the way we walk and the pressure we put on the rest of the body. Feet need a surface which allows them to bend, grip and roll as you walk, which is difficult to do when constantly wearing heels. You don’t have to say goodbye to high heels, as they should be safe to wear in moderation, but you need to make sure they fit properly and take extra care when walking.
Wearing the right shoes can improve posture. If the shoe supports your foot and allows you to use your foot properly, you can do as you please. If buying a pair of heels, make sure the shoe isn’t too tight, short or solid, otherwise you will restrict movement and you won’t be able to use your foot properly.”

Tim’s Top tips for walking in heels:
- Tense your pelvic floor muscles
- Keep your head upright and don’t stick your chest out
- Put your shoulders back and chest in
- Spread weight evenly over the whole shoe when walking
- Don’t walk too fast, be elegant
Good luck and have fun at LFW!
