I know we walk in them and they get subjected to so many hard conditions on the road, while driving, breaking into a run for some weird reason, storing them..all the reasons to do your heels just and save them from breaking and looking like they have aged a million years. I might have discovered a shoe / heel obsession in me and i hate it if i buy expensive heels and lose them before their time because i couldn't take care of them. If you were someone like me and have such a close relationship to the heels and shoes you wear, do take the below steps seriously..they do help (i still have a pair in their shoe box because i'm afraid i'd ruin their heels if i wear them..they've been sitting in their box for 7 months)
Living in the UAE added to my 'keep your heels safe for a longer period experience' I owe the desert a thanks :)
1. When getting ready and leaving home, restrain from wearing your heels. Wear flops or flat shoes instead and change into your heels at your desired destination. A lot of buildings and areas in the UAE have sandy roads and areas under the residential units; you don't want to sand your heels as soon as you leave your home.
2. Always have flat shoes with you. Thanks to some really innovative designers, we now have foldable and rollable flats that get tucked into bags so easy. These are a must in every wardrobe if not every bag as well. It's not just comfort, it's keeping your heels in good shape as well.
3. Keep a fabric bag with you to put your heels in. Whether in your car, at the office or even in your bag (you will have to hold a big purse for that), keep one with you to put your heels in once you change into flats. Not every street is designed for heels wear, so do yourself and your heels a favor and put those flats on.
4. When driving, take off your heels. Heels are not made for you to press on the petrol and brakes pedals, you will destroy the heel the more frequent you press.
5. Yes you will need to ask where you will be hanging out later tonight to manage the expectations of your feet and heels. Just like not all the streets are designed for heels, a lot of lounges, restaurants, places in the UAE are not designed for heels either. You don't want to walk into Nassimi with heels or even suede flats, don't go to an event that has its venue outdoor on grass with your limited edition 1k heels on; they won't last you the night.
The above tips may help the heels you own and spare their lives..at least for a longer period. I hope you find them helpful as much as I do! I will find the courage in me to wear my '7 months sitting in the closet heels' :)
