If you wear high heels, you'll probably have one break on you during the course of your life, and the result could be not only embarrassing, but also painful.

Can you break a high heel?

To break in high heel shoes, try wearing them around the house while you do chores to give them a chance to stretch and conform to your feet. You can also gently warm the heels with a blow dryer before wearing them with a pair of socks, which will stretch them out even more.

How much weight can a heel hold?

For them, shock-absorbing cushioning just adds to the instability. Every inch of heel height can put another 25 percent of your body weight onto your forefoot.
