Blisters are usually caused by a shoe that is loose. The friction causes a blister. Like other said, either the shoes are big because they’re on loan from the designer or stylist or the woman’s foot slid forward.
Original Pinkbird no...I had converses that were a bit to small for me and I wore them to school. It was painfully tight to walk around because of the pressure. When I got home, I discovered I gotten blisters from it. Blisters actually form from the lack of oxygen and pressure.
Big shoes can be just as uncomfortable as small shoes... and can rub just as badly. I think it's because they are wearing shoes that are owned by a stylist or designer, & they get the sizes as close as possible, but don't always have it available....
Exactly! I once wore a shoe that was bigger and had such bad blisters later from all the chaffing. Not to mention the embarrassment of not being able to walk comfortably.
Actually the clothing and shoes do not belong to the stylist. Designers let celebrities borrow their clothes for publicity. Clothes and shoes are always tailored to fit the celebrity. I used to work in a show room helping stylists choose clothes for red carpet events.
u live in a cave or something.? www.ebay.com/gds/5-Reasons-to-Wear-High-Heels-/10000000177629772/g.html . also, these are celebrities and not ordinary folks. how about those ballet dancer, are they wearing the most comfortable footwear to dance? i dont think so
Back in the day, like CENTURIES ago, persian horse soldiers developed shoes that would allow them to stand up in their stirrups making them formidable soldiers with ultimate control of their weapons, bows and arrows etc. They put chunky heels on their shoes and they waged fiercer war. When persian emissaries travelled to Europe a few hundred years ago they brought their riding shoes with them, and the European male aristocrats admired them so much they adopted the style in the 1500's. The high heels made them feel more manly by making them taller. They were expensive to make and a status symbol of the rich and powerful. After a time the female elite thought hmmmmm why the hell not, and decided to wear them too, and the shoemakers designed a more refined high heel shoe to suit females delicate tootsies. The men eventually decided, f*k this, let the bitches have them if they want them so badly, and the men stopped wearing them. The rest is history.
Famous brands give them shoes(and dress, jewellery for events... ) as gifts, marketing to show us new products, Collection, ecc.. The stars don't buy anything At all actually!! It is incredibile, rich People doesn't spend Money!!!
Dreaming of Walter White and Nancy Botwin together- Yes! That is what I always heard, that they get them from designers to advertise their brand. There could be some truth to the whole swollen foot thing but I'm pretty sure this video was just an educated guess for content.
Most shoes have pointed toes which makes it too tight on the ball of the foot. Buying shoes a larger size may be too long for the foot but adequately fits the ball of the foot
Omg. They can wear shoes too big cause they don’t have to walk for miles.... if they are going to have shoe trend why couldn’t they make wearing flats on the red carpet a trend
the fact is they have { rented/borrowed/got on the loan } their outfits from a famous designer including their shoes & by doing so, they make money for the night advertising for the designer. Their whole outfits are on the loan , including all the BIG jewelry they put on.
Or women could just start wearing comfortable, sensible footwear that functions well -- like men do. Women gave up tight corsets because they were uncomfortable and unhealthy. Why shouldn't women liberate their feet too? There was a time in the 1960s and 1970s when fashionable women wore comfortable shoes with low, chunky heels and they looked fab.
This is incredibly inaccurate. Any shoe worn to a red carpet event that appears too large on the foot of its wearer is because it’s a SAMPLE worn directly from the designer, usually only 1/2 size above their actual shoe size. Most designers work with specific celebrities and already are quite aware of their dress and shoe size which also explains why you may only see certain celebrities wearing certain designers. Some have contracts, some are free agents but none wear shoes to avoid blisters!
What a daft idea! Haven't they heard of width fittings? It's just as bad for the feet to wear shoes too big as too small. If they squeeze across the foot, a wider shoe is needed in the same size, not a longer one.
J S - There's nothing to understand, it's not rocket science. Oversized shoes look utterly hideous as well as ridiculous, totally defeating the object of wearing high heels - which is to look glamorous..! Right? The wrong shoes not only damage feet - they show on your face. 😖!
That's actually incorrect, IF you've worn larger size shoes, you'd know, not only is it uncomfortable, you'll still get blisters on the heal. Because they are too large, and the shoe will constantly move around, scrapping and rubbing... How do i know? I've tried it, with several different shoes... Blisters still, everytime
Dr. K Ive certainly learned that the hard way too. I wear a 7.5, but when I buy shoes from the UK, they somehow dont make half sizes, so I went up to an 8. OMG, blisters for days due to the rubbing from my foot sliding around in a show too big. I dont understand what the women there who wear half sizes do. How can they ignore all the half sizes? I dont understand, but I've learned not to buy European shoes for that reason. This video makes no sense to me. Ive had to stand for 8 hours in heels when I worked in retail (I had no choice it was part if looking professional) and my feet were never swollen. A celebrity thats in the red carpet for a few minutes shouldnt have to worry about their feet swelling.
If a shoe fits well, it should be comfortable all day. Skyhigh heels, though, are a whole different thing. Why can't celebrities embrace a more realistic heel height? They can be just as amazing you know. JOPO.
Recently I bought a pair of stiletto pumps, my normal size was tiring as usual, a size smaller that was hugging my foot tightly, way better, just add some deodorant to foot if you plan on long wear.
This is so dumb, the shoes do fit them but when you walk around in heels your foot gradually slides forward creating that gap at the back. If you're ever wearing heels, take a look at the back after a while and you'll see that gap, if they were flush with your feet all night they'd be too small and rubbing like crazy
Deeeeeee. exactly!!! and that is the reason why whenever I buy heels I choose them a little tight cause my feet eventually will slide and if the shoe is tight this wont happen it will only adjust to ur feet
And here I thought it was more dangerous to wear heels that are too big as it is to wear a pair that's too small. I don't see how tape or insoles could possibly keep their feet from coming out of them.
Celebrities wear shoes that are too big for them because most of the time they are barrowed. Celebs do not always pay for the clothes they wear to big events. They have stylists that hunt down a variety of outfits from head like jewelry to toe like shoes. Not all the time will the perfect shoe be in the perfect size and that is why the shoes do not always fit.
Or here's a thought... Don't put torture devices on your feet. It's stupid to damage your feet just for the sake of fashion. Why are women expected to wear such impractical clothes?
You have obviously never worn heels that were too big for you. They are grossly uncomfortable and do indeed rub. All high heels are bad for the feet no matter what size they are and wearing them for long periods will guarantee you foot, knee and hip problems in later life. Human beings were not meant to wear heels that's why we have feet that are pretty flat to the floor and heels put enormous strain on a lot of elements in the human body.
thats bullshit waringntoo big shoes makes it more likely to get blisters and other problems! more space means more movement and less hold = more rubbing and more pressure around the toe area it is possible that what you explained is a popular myth and that is why they do it but it is wrong the best is to wear shoes that are just your size. only heels that are your size can support you and prevent major foot problems. I used to borrow shoes from my mom when i was younger and got the usual problems everyone seems to believe are normal for heels. my moms shoe size is 38(german size systhem). now I only wear my own in 37 and I never had any problems with that no matter how long I wear them. no pain no blisters, no nothing. I don't regularly wear them so you cant say 'i just got used to it' but the 1-3 times the year I do, i wear them for the whole day without complains what i'm trying to say, people , don't think that is a good idea just because celebs seem to do it. wear your heels in just your size, not too small nor big nor wide or slim. they should just fit you.
If women you just stop buying the ridiculously tall heels shoe designers and makers would have to make what women want. I had to stop buying/wearing heels because I could no longer find shoes that were made using a combination last. A combination last is shaped to accommodate different widths at the heel and across the ball of the foot. It was easy to find shoes like that back in the 50's, but started becoming less available unless you shopped at a more upscale (read - expensive) shoe store or at one of the "better" department stores. They were usually European made shoes. I never had a problem with my feet getting blisters as a child as long as I was wearing shoes made on a combination last. The problems started in my teens, but fortunately a lower heel was in style in the 60's. Now as a 67 year old granny, I do not wear (nor can I wear) heels. I buy footwear for comfort rather than style. And if anybody does not like the look of the shoe I am wearing, THEY CAN DAMN WELL LOOK THE OTHER WAY!
I've never had swollen feet from wearing my high heals... and the only time I've had blisters is when the shoe was a tad too big and would slide off the heal when walking... But now I am curious how much pain would be eliminated by the end of the night if I wore a bigger size. I'm not convinced, but I've never heard this before, there must be something to it.
Carolyn Lyford Sullivan , I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID , ABOUT TATTOOS ! AT THE MOMENT , I HAVE NO TATTOOS ! , BUT IF I DECIDED TO HAVE ONE , I WOULD HAVE IT , AS THE WASHABLE ONE ! THAT WAY I HAVE MORE CHOICES , AND FREEDOM TO DO AS I WANT ! , PLUS , IT'S INEXPENSIVE , AND DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER THINKING , AND GETTING BORED OF THE SAME DESIGNS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE ! IT WOULD COST YOU TONS OF MONEY TO HAVE THEM REMOVED ! I THINK IT'S SMART TO HAVE THE WASHABLE TATTOOS , IF YOU DECIDE TO HAVE ONE SOMEDAY !
Actually it has to do with the sample size for most deisgners being 39-40 European, as that is model's size and also the size most feet will fit. Celebrities wear the newest stuff, where only samples exist, and there is no choice but to wear sample size. Additionally, when stylists pick shoes for their clients, they always get a size up, so that there is no chance of shoes not fitting.
I need my heels to fit my feet correctly. I wear a size 5 in womans and its so hard to find my size. I did one try a half a size bigger and to be honest that shoe never gets worn and its a beautiful shoe
They get sent this stuff like shoes, jewellery, dresses etc as PR by companies and big label brands to wear on the red carpet but not all will fit so they make it fit! If you want to wear a shoe that will accomadate swelling then you adjust the width, NOT the length!
to each her own of she wants to wear high heels but I look at them and say to myself why would anyone want to wear shoes where you have to walk on your toes like that. it can't be comfortable and they are terrible for your feet. ask any Dr
I'm just wondering, can't they pick out their own clothes? Like, do they really need to wear heels on the red carpet? No. They can pick comfortable shoes like us average humans. It's not a crime.
Every shoe in the shoe store is too big for me. I only wear a size 4 shoe and nobody carries that size. My kids get them for me in Mexico. They have great shoe stores there.
1:11 My high school friend Danielle Joy Scott and our friend Angie Lee Gonzalez said pumps cover yer WHOLE foot; if they're like sandals, THOSE R hi heels.
properly trained shoe sales people will tell you to try on shoes after walking around for awhile because of swelling. tight shoes don't make feet swell, they just swell on their own.
I have never, nor will I ever, understand why women subject themselves to the torture of high heels. I freely admit it looks kinda cute, kinda sexy, sure. But not THAT much. Doesn't justify the teetering, precarious dance of potential orthopedic damage women subject themselves to. It ain't worth it, ladies. Flats or low heels look just fine, very cute. Stop it.
I found out by chance one night when it was very cold and I kept losing my pumps until I stuffed them with tissues. I already have large feets, If a pump fits me when I leave the house it'll be torture at the end of the evening. So i find it practical to buy heels when my feet are swollen and wear them with soles to adjust the size for the first few hours. I might try the silicon pads to avoid taking a purse big enough fo stuff the soles in, but the noticeable gap looks awful.
louis cyfer I have a pair of shoes that are just a bit too big, but they're $500.00 Brain Atwood shoes. So I went and purchased silicone insoles and this padded tape from Dr. Scholes and it actually works so good. I put it in all my heels.
louis cyfer hmm really? I've noticed the opposite. They'll by them too small lol. But for me, buying heels a half size too big keeps my toes from going so far forward. Been doing so since my 8th grade prom lol. Works for me.
i teach women how to walk in heels. i deal with a lot of them. and all their shoes are too big when they start. btw, it takes proper mechanics not to slide forward, but if you shoes don't have a gap at the heel, you are not buying them half size too big. if there is a gap, it didn't stop you from sliding forward. i highly doubt you walked in heels correctly in 8th grade.
louis cyfer I have narrow feet with narrow heels so I'm cringing at the thought of wearing shoes that don't fit properly on purpose! It seems like the constant rubbing from them being to loose would cause more blisters than a properly fitted shoe. I just don't see the tricks mentioned in the video preventing sliding and rubbing.
Everyone seems to think this is fake, but I wore a size too big for my prom shoes and honestly, they were so comfortable despite being six inch heels. The design of a heel makes it so that the top portion of your foot digs into the shoe. If it’s a size too big, the shoe is loser and therefore doesn’t squeeze your foot as it does this.
This usually makes more blisters... when i worked in fashion it was because they wear whatever size samples are sent...or what they tried on...usually after a day on their feet and their feet where swollen at the tryon... most shoes are not the celebrity's own shoes people... its samples..or what the designer invisioned to go with the dress...sometimes they wear an assistant's shoe....in photo shoots the make up artist's shoes..the intern's shoes...everyone's shoes and accessories are fair game... yes..its a good idea to wear properly fitted shoes..not too tight NOR too big..and try on shoes at the end of your day so your feet are a little swollen...but this video is...off...to put it mildly... :(
They aren't wearing thier own shoes. They are loaners. It's actually quite excrutiating to wear stiletto heels when they are too big. It's very bad for your balance and makes it difficult to walk. A better way to avoid blisters is to buy your true size and stretch them out before wearing them.
Never understood this, all of my Heels have a snug fit, I would never buy any shoe that is too big. That in itself can cause blisters, ankle and foot alignment problems, trippage, slippage, etc.
Their gowns and shoes are chosen by their stylists and are provided by designers. They can quickly refit the dress if needed, but shoes no, when the shoes are a bit too loose, they insert silicon pads to prevent chaffing and compensate for the loose fit, those pads create even bigger gap in the back because your feet slide forward in ill fiting stilletos after a while. That's all there is to it.
Shoes that are a size bigger are not more comfortable and can lead to other issues. You’d be much more likely to fall in shoes that are too big from lack of stability. The most likely reason is that the celebrities have been given sample sizes to borrow for the night. Sample sizes are typically a Uk6-7 / US9-10. Most female celebrities won’t fit into these shoes properly because they are under 5’5 tall. You rarely see models wearing shoes too big because they are much taller and so have bigger feet. As someone who wears heels everyday and worked in luxury footwear, I can say wearing shoes that are too big not only looks silly but is not good for your feet. This video is tosh.
I think about that all the time but I have yet to find flat shoes that make me look more attractive. I am size 9 and tall so feminine heels are most attractive shoes on me. Or barefoot...but the floor is dirty so I cant do that :c Im going to wear cute socks as shoes so I can be happy haha.
Wearing shoes that are too big especially high heels has lots of dangers including more prone to fall out of the shoes, tripping and slipping as well as blisters from friction where the shoes are rubbing, and painful legs and feet from trying to grip onto the shoes. Pretty silly idea...
The real reason celebrities do that is cause they buy only expensive brand shoes and many times they order fast even online. They get them a size larger to make sure they fit no matter what
I thought the shoes were too big because everything is borrowed. For these large events no one is wearing their personal clothing and shoes. The carpet event is another opportunity for designers to market their brands. It really has nothing to do with actors.
Just cannot agree. I have small feet and in my younger years, had no choice but wear shoes that were too big and now, even though it is easy to find my size, my feet are in a bad way. Spent many years stuffing cotton wool in the toe area, just so I would not slip out and often still slipped. My toes are in a poor way, due to this.
My common sense guess to why some of their shoes are not their size because it's not their pair of shoes. Many of celebrities outfits are lent to them by the designer to wear on the red carpet. Blisters are usually caused by something rubbing because it's too loose.
When women wore nylons they could slip their feet into the shoes with no problem. Now that they don't wear nylons they have to wear larger size shoes so they can put them on. BRING BACK NYLONS
I agree. It's because they don't pay for their clothes, designers give them to them or let them 'borrow' them for advertising means. So if the shoes don't quite fit, whoopity doo suck it up....it's got nothing to do with foot swelling; wearing your shoes too big is more of a pain in the ass than not, curling your toes up to try to keep the shoe from flying off whilst you walk is horrible--I've done it, wearing a friends shoe one evening, huge, HUGE mistake. The only reason this video is up, is for the purpose of making money.....clickety clickety click click click bait
I don't understand why they make these shoes so uncomfortable especially when people pay hundreds sometimes thousands of dollars . For that much money they should feel like I'm walking on a cloud.
So this is why women wear larger sized shoes. Not very pretty to look at, but if it keeps the feet from swelling.... still, there are plenty of very unsightly "dressed" feet on the red carpet with huge bunions which have been photographed over the years. So, the wearing of big shoes does not necessarily mean no swelling or less damage if bigger sized shoes are worn. Very tall heels are just unhealthy for the feet and are NOT meant to be worn longer than photoshoot time. Those big shoes look suspiciously provided by sponsors, and made to fit with silicone pads or tape for those who must model them.
Feet swell for many reasons, but loose shoes, I dont think so. It is mostly du to blood circulation , heat , pregnancy and fatigue. In worst cases it can be kidney problems and circulations problems and needs to be seen by a doctor. High heel shoes are terrible for the feet. Choose wisely.
