Pumps create a feminine look, but there are many women who feel that they are easy to take off, painful, and difficult to walk.

Of course, you need to get used to wearing pumps, but there are many cases where you feel pain and difficulty walking because you are wearing pumps that do not fit your feet.

Pumps that do not fit your feet are not only easy to take off, painful, and difficult to walk, but they can also have a big negative impact on your feet, so it is important to choose pumps that fit your feet well.


This time, MAMIAN, who values ​​women's feet, will introduce how to choose pumps that you can't take off. If you choose shoes that suit you, you can run with pumps!

If you have trouble with your feet, please refer to it.



What does it mean when your pumps don't "fit your feet"?


If the pumps do not fit your feet, various troubles will occur.

Even if you think it fits your feet because it doesn't hurt, there are many cases where it actually doesn't fit.

If any of the following applies to you, reconsider your choice of pumps.


have octopus or fish eyes

Calluses and corns can be painful, but sometimes you don't even notice it.

Whether you have pain or not, if you develop calluses or corns, your shoes may not fit your feet.


Pain due to flat feet, bunions, bunions

Flat feet are "collapse of the arch of the foot".

Hallux valgus means that the base of the thumb bends in a doglegged shape, and nahanshōshi means that the little finger bends inward.

Hallux valgus and bunion little toe are likely to occur at the same time, and the pain tends to increase.


Foot troubles may or may not be caused by wearing pumps that do not fit your feet, but neither of these are normal conditions for your feet. may not fit your feet.


The foot moves or slides forward in the shoe

If the foot moves in the shoe or slides forward, the shoe may not fit properly.

When your feet move inside the pumps, your heels and toes will rub against each other, making your shoes more prone to blisters.

Especially if your heels are flaky, it's not only bad for your feet, but it's also bad for your appearance.



How to choose pumps that don't come off

If you wear pumps that don't fit your feet, please remember how to choose the right one.

If you can choose the pumps that suit your feet, your daily fashion will be more fun.



don't choose big shoes

When choosing pumps, many people buy shoes that are larger than they should be.

A lot of people feel that they are too tight, so they choose pumps that are one size or even three sizes too large.


However, wearing big shoes has the opposite effect.

If you choose a larger size, it will create more room in your shoes and will not fit properly.

A poor fit can cause your feet to move around in the pump, putting pressure on your toes and chafing your heels, causing extra pain.


Japanese people have high insteps and wide feet.

Have you ever heard of it?

There was a time when it was said that way, but in fact it was a baseless story (meaning that there are many people who tend to have high insteps and wide insteps), and when I actually measured it, it was a narrow type. It's a common story.


When I asked a person who works in the shoe section of a department store, I was told that about half of the customers were A to C wise.


First of all, from knowing your size and width.

When choosing pumps, make sure you measure your feet correctly and don't choose pumps that are too big.



Choose pumps that match the shape of your feet (toes)

People's feet are divided into three types: the "Greek type" with a long index finger, the "square type" with all toes roughly the same length, and the "Egyptian type" with the longest thumb.


If you're a Greek type, look for almond-toe or pointed-toe pumps that stretch out.

On the other hand, if you choose square toe or oblique toe shoes, your toes will not fit in properly and may bend and cause deformation or blisters.


Square toe pumps fit your feet.

I'm not good at things that are too tapered.


For the Egyptian style, choose oblique toe or round toe pumps.

It can be adapted to tapered feet rather than square feet, but be careful with pointed toes.


Of course, there are various toe shapes, so there are pointed toes that are easy to wear even in Egyptian styles, and square toes that are painful even in square toes.

It's still the best to try them on, but it's a good idea to consult with your foot shape as a standard.



When you try it on, you can "walk," "run," and "stretch."

When purchasing pumps, trying them on is essential.

Be sure to try them on, especially if you have foot problems.


When you try on the shoes, it is important not to sit down and put them on, but to try walking, running lightly, and stretching yourself.

When you actually wear it, you can think of various situations. Please try it on as close to the actual condition as possible.


Not many people try stretching, but if the heel slips out, it may not be the right fit for your feet.



know how to walk

People who can't take their shoes off even though the pumps fit their feet in size and shape may be caused by the way they walk.

People with flat feet may walk without using their toes.

People with hallux valgus may develop it by walking with small strides or by walking without raising their feet and walking on the ground.


Foot troubles due to the way you walk are caused by the use of your toes, walking without kicking, and a decrease in the amount of muscle in your feet.

If you know how to walk, you will be able to see the cause of the trouble, so you will be able to reduce the pain when wearing pumps.



Do not choose hard shoes

The material is also important when choosing pumps.

Even with the same type of pumps, it is common for the comfort to be different if the material is different.


Shoes made of hard materials with little elasticity tend to be difficult to fit your feet.

Especially if you have foot problems, try to choose soft materials such as smooth or suede instead of materials with little elasticity.

It is also a good idea to choose natural leather, which has the characteristic of adapting to the shape of your foot.
