How To Find Comfortable High Heels Without Sacrificing Fashion

Comfortable high heels that are as fashionable as they are practical can be found. Those who have no idea what facets to look for tend to try large varieties of styles and settle for less than the best. Those who know what to seek out will have a shorter, narrower search with greater success.

Stilettos will forever be fashionable. They're a classic item that is in style every single year. Evening and cocktail dresses will always need the additional height and femininity that only stilettos can bring. Business clothing will also always need a dash of professionalism that heels provide.

There are 3 major factors to look out for to avoid stiletto based problems. The weight of the entire body is held on the ball of the foot when wearing a high heel. The pain this causes can be aided by two factors. A sole and inset will reduce problems significantly. The toe is another area that suffers during the wearing of stilettos. The arch is the final area that brings pain when there isn't enough support.

Additional width and depth in the toe area will provide plenty of additional comfort. This year it's fashionable to wear a rounder toe but it needs to exist on a shoe that works with this. The bulkier toe area needs to be balanced with the rest of the shoe, otherwise it looks too practical. A slightly thicker heel is all that's required to balance out the look.

A shock absorbing inset can prevent a large amount of pain in the ball of the foot. Orthopedic insets are useful to give the area extra softness. High quality insets that come with the shoe can be sufficient if they're well made. Poorly made insets flatten entirely within as little as a few weeks, rendering them useless.

The sole is the most important area for shock absorption to prevent pain at the ball of the foot. Platforms are a huge trend this year and don't need to be overly thick. As little as a centimeter or two's width, if made from well fabricated plastic or gum rubber, can prevent pain in the ball of the foot entirely. Synthetic rubber wears down within months. Since most people carry their weight unevenly on their feet, the sole wears down more on one side. This causes misalignment of the spine and hips, causing long term injury, spasms and pain.

Those with problematic arches are always best off with an orthopedic inset. An espadrille heal will give the arch extra support that prevents pain for those with and without flat arches. Espadrilles are coming back into fashion next summer and were present in a number of 2013 collections.

A thick rather than stiletto heel can support the ankles better to reduce imbalance and pain to that area. Thick heels are also better at balancing out thicker calves. No matter how well chosen comfortable high heels are, they should be worn for short periods. It's best to carry a flat pair of shoes along, wearing them when ever heels aren't a necessity. This will also prevent shoes from becoming damaged during long periods of walking.

Fashion Lab Coats - New Trends And Styles

Fashion lab coats for women come in a variety of shapes and sizes and sometimes colors. No longer do the women who work in hospitals, laboratories, doctors offices, dentists offices and veterinarians offices have to settle for plain white lab coats that just hang on them. Or even worse the unisex lab coats that look better on the men and the women. Fashion lab coats now come with pleats and darts that help accentuate your figure and make you feel more feminine in your lab coat. Even the full-length long lab coats that come to your knees are shapelier as a fashion lab coat than the plain white lab coats of yesteryears. Embroidered collar and embroidered along the pocket flaps make a fashion statement on the small fashion lab coats that are sometimes called consultation lab coats. They are more like a jacket and are used mostly by women doctors when consulting with patients in the hospital. Nurses or nonmedical staff also wears these fashion lab coats with the embroidery along the coll...

How The Sa 8000 And Other Standards Are Shaking Up The Fashion Industry

Environmental, social and ethical pressures on the global textiles and fashion sector emerged in Europe in the early 1980s. The main driver was consumer concern over the safety of the materials. However, in parallel with this trend, a minority group of ethical consumers demanded chemical-free and low environmental impact clothing and fashion goods. This resulted in the European and later the U.S. organic labeling system being extended to include criteria for clothing and textiles, such as organic cotton. As of 2007, the sector was the fastest growing part of the global cotton industry with growth of more than 50% a year. Regarding safety standards, the Oeko-Tex standard has become highly popular in the industry. Although unknown to consumers, it tests for chemicals such as flame retardants in clothes and categorizes goods according to their likely exposure to humans (e.g. baby clothes must adhere to the strictest standards for chemicals). Thus the issue of chemicals in clothing has bec...
