High-heeled shoes instantly turn an ordinary woman into a beauty from the podium. The figure seems slimmer, the chest rises, the buttocks are tightened, and the gait becomes elegant and seductive.
And this is not magic at all - just by putting on a high heel, the center of gravity shifts, and in order to keep balance, we instinctively straighten our chest, shoulders, and take more accurate steps.
But beauty is not without sacrifice ... If you like to wear high heels and know firsthand how painful it can be, use one tricky trick.
Take a regular medical adhesive tape, wrap it together with the third and fourth toes, counting from the big (middle and ring), and then put on your shoes. Pain will no longer bother you!
Sounds incredible, doesn't it? But this method has a reasonable explanation: between the third and fourth toes there is a nerve that causes a sensation of pain if pressure is applied to it. This is exactly what happens when you put on high heels and shift your center of gravity. The adhesive tape relieves pressure on the nerve, and you can wear your favorite shoes all day and all night long.
This method was invented by Marie Helvin, a top model of the 1970s, muse and ex-wife of British photographer David Bailey, who spent countless evenings on the catwalks and red carpets in high stilettos.
If you are worried about how it will look, then, believe me, your fears are in vain. Adhesive plasters are usually made flesh-colored or even transparent; they are almost invisible on the skin. Try it yourself and see for yourself. Wearing high heels doesn't hurt!
Some say that such a daily ritual is utter nonsense; that no shoes are worth so much effort and suffering. But how are heels different from other everyday rituals like putting on makeup?
I don't mind spending the extra 30 seconds; but I feel great walking down the street in high heels!
