HOW DO WOMEN WEAR HEELS ALL THE TIME?! My feet are killing me, and I only wore them for half a day. It's a good thing I didn't have to go chasing after a suspect today. They'd have gotten away because I'd be flat on my face! Ladies, I bow to you. You're clearly the stronger gender.

Private to Hermione

I think you owe me a massage!

Next time wear flats. They don't compromise your ankles like heels do. But if you insist on heels, get ones with thicker heels. More surface area for weight and pressure is good. Wedges are also good. And you need to be sure to not elongate your stride. You actually have to shorten it a bit slash take smaller steps. Straps that fasten around the heel are also good and keep your foot from slipping around. And don't forget to maintain good posture!

	Um, I'm not sure there'll be a next time ~~though my legs did looks really good~~. Someone was playing a prank on me, and I wanted to be a good sport about it. I just didn't expect it to hurt this much! Uh, thanks for the info though. That's good to know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah. Sounded like it could have been for some kind of under cover Auror thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I guess if that ever comes up, now I'll have the experience. I can put it on my resume. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose it's an accomplishment to be proud of, being a horrible heel walker? If you ever actually need to walk in a pair of heels for your job, be sure to break them in first as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, more good advice! Thanks. Hopefully I won't ever have to put it to use though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hope not! Don't get me wrong; I enjoy a good pair of heels. But they take some getting used to, and it could be a detriment to your job if you don't have the time. Which is where I think flats would work better for you if you had to, for whatever reason, go under cover as someone with a predilection for wearing women's clothing and/or shoes.

	I'll keep that in mind, because you never know what sort of information will come in handy for this job somewhere down the line. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You forgot the cushioning and stabilizing charms. They make them a lot more comfortable. Never outright comfy, but it helps a lot. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am an Auror. You'd think I'd remember these things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Some are better than others. Some shoes take them better than others. I'd tell you to asl my mother since she taught me, but I have a feeling that might be an awkward conversation for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did you actually wear heels without stabilising, cushioning, numbing, and flexing spells? Oh my darling why didn't you come talk to me first? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It was only for half a day. I didn't realize it would hurt that much! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Merlin, that brings back memories. Anyway, I'm practically innocent in all this. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It was a pretty good trick. My feet don't agree though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would have helped you figure out the proper charms if you'd had only asked. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm late to the party, I know, but this intrigued my interest. I rarely wear heels of any sort. It's often poor taste to be taller than the men your with, I'm told. (Reply to this)
