As a tomboy of sorts, I rarely wear high (or even moderately elevated) heals. I prefer my converse sneakers and my flip flops. But there's no denying that when I put them on, I feel pretty good about myself-- they're an instant confidence booster. There's also no denying that after a few hours of teetering above my wedges, my feet hurt. A lot. What's a girl to do?

This article has some helpful suggestions, including:

• Save heels for special occasions
• Avoid backless heals as they cause your toes to clench, which leads to muscle strain
• Some calf stretches can do wonders for your legs.
  
• Vary the height of your heals and don't wear ones higher than 4cm for daily use.
• Visit a chiropodist or podiatrist
• Also? Use a tennis ball to massage sore feet.
• Get your significant other to massage your feet .... if you can!

What do you for your aching feet?
