Princess:

I wish I could wear shoes like this. Ever since having a baby my feet hurt like crazy when I wear heels. I only have like one semi-comfortable pair of 2″ heel boots. I’m going to just have to get serious, go into a shoe store, or Nordstrom’s (somewhere w/big feet sizes!) and keep trying them on ’til something works. I want my shoe game proper! Any suggestions?  – Summer

Summer,

Funny thing is that I dealt with that earlier in life. I found that I could only wear flats and shoes that were almost flats to be very comfortable. What I found is that years ago shoes with heels weren’t designed for the toes to have ample room to move about, thus the reason so many women suffer from corns, bunions and disfigured toes, so, I avoided them like the plague. They make the shoes kind of differently now including WIDE widths, and if you find that something too pointy still isn’t comfortable for you, there are shoes with round toe and square toe designs that are equally as fashionable. Needless to say I’m no longer heel-shy. I got older and wanted to be more adventurous, so, instead of tackling 4 inch heels head-on I discovered that I could manage heels with 2 inches, then heels with 3 inches and then heels 4 inches. You may have to go gradual and see if that works for you. There are plenty of fabulous kitten heel shoes (see above photo) out there that may just be perfect for you too. See which kinds of styles fit best and stick to it.
