1. If you feel a sharp, tingling pain in your foot, it may be the start of plantar fasciitis.

What to do: Give your foot a tennis ball massage by placing a tennis ball on the ground and rolling your foot back and forth over it to massage the plantar fascia (the tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot).

2. If you experience heel pain after a long day in heels, it’s probably due to a stiff calf muscle.

What to do: Periodically take off your heels and flex your foot (against a wall or pulling it back with a towel) to stretch tight calves.

3. Use a  blowdryer to stretch out the areas in the shoe that are too tight.

4. Ensure that while walking, the motion comes from the hip, and not the knees.

5. Stretch after wearing heels, and switch postures while in them.

6. Be smart about when and where to wear heels. If  it is an all day affair, it might be better to skip the stilettos.

7. After long hours in heels, ice your feet for about 15 minutes and use foot cream before heading to bed.

8. Wear pumps and heels only two times a week - Alternate them with flat shoes.

9. Lay a napkin or something similar on the ground and place your foot on it and scrunch it with your toes as much as possible.
