Flat Shoes for Short Women

Women who are short often wear heels to give themselves a few inches in height.  If every woman wore high heels, then a shorter woman would still look short in comparison -- negating the need for heels.

Focusing on great posture and clothes that create a long vertical line may be more satisfying to women who are short than wearing high heels. Plus as women age, damage from wearing high heels presents itself in ugly ways, like bunions, Metatarsalgia, Morton's Neuroma, and other foot problems. Added to those are all of the maladies related to falls from wearing heels.

Being short won't make people like you less or more. Demeanor, attitude, and enthusiasm all contribute to one's persona. A positive outlook, a genuine concern and respect for other people, and good sense of humor will earn a woman lots of friends -- both male and female.

Women can take charge of their health to feel stronger, physically as well as emotionally. Shopping for clothes that feel and look good is more fun when a woman is in the best shape she can be. And fashions should be fun, not make a woman self-conscious about her height.

When friends are critical of a woman who wears flat shoes it may be time to stand up and tell it like it is. Information is available on the Mayo Clinic Web site. This article is about the causes of Metatarsalgia. Other foot problems, symptoms, causes, risk factors, treatments, and prevention are listed for each condition.

To make onesself look a bit taller, try an outfit that is one color and has a v-neck. Avoid horizontal lines, but remember there isn't a one size fits all solution to fashion. Enjoy the process, because the alternative is to be miserable, and that doesn't make anyone look good.

If your feet are cold from going barefoot on a cold floor, from being outside in frigid temperatures, or from Reynaud's Syndrome, try warming them on a microwave heating pad from Maine Warmers. Their extra long Neck Warmer will fold around the feet and provide soothing relief for cold feet. Their Foot Warmers make the perfect gift for someone with perpetually cold feet.
