Men usually stick to Oxfords or loafers, which look conservative and classy and tend to fit comfortably. These shoes are made of leather, which is considered the best material in terms of shape and breathability. Special brands like Rockport, Bates, Florsheim, or Dexter may have shock-absorbing soles in the dressier models. For others, however, the look of the high-fashion heel is too much to resist. In any case, you should remember that the higher the heel, the more damage you can do to yourself.
More damage occurs as the heel gets higher.
Heels can definitely cause pain on medicine's rounds of 3 hours or more. If in need of other choices, women can look to Rockport, Naturalizer, or Easy Spirit for comfort-conscious but dressy shoes. Another useful option for women is to wear comfort insoles with dress shoes. You can buy the classic Dr Scholl's variety at your local supermarket. Other varieties of insoles are available through your physician or on the Internet.
