15 Reasons Flats Are Miles Better Than Heels

Anyone who has worn flats or heels knows there is a great deal of comfort difference between the two. But is that enough of a reason for someone to abandon heels altogether and stick with flats? If you don't think so, read on to find several more reasons that will have you hanging up your heels.

Medically Preferred

Flats are doctor recommended. Excessive use of heels can lead to unsightly and possible permanent foot deformities. These can include “pump bump” and bunions.

Convenience

Flats can be more convenient. Ever had to run to catch a taxi in a high heel, its not the easiest task. A flat can enable you to not only run a bit faster but can also help avoid an injury.

Dancing

Flats will have you dancing through the night. Instead of winding up in a chair halfway through. Flats are way better for dancing feet.

Toes will suffer too. The toes can get squished in any pointy toed shoe but add the incline of an unnaturally high heel and the toes suffer further. This can cause pain as well as toe deformities.

Better For Events

Stick to flats for events. Weddings and parties do not tell the type of venue they are being held at. Being prepared with a pair of flats will ensure that there will be no embarrassments or injuries from unfamiliar terrain.

Flats are low maintenance. Repairing a broken heel seems inevitable when someone owns a pair of heels. However flats do not require such upkeep .

Exercise

Flats will help burn calories. You will surely be able to stay moving this and the next day if you opt for flats over heels.

Less Blisters

Flats cause less blisters. This will certainly save on the Band-Aid supply. It will also enable you to wear those cute shoes day after day.

Regular Height

Flats will not leave you towering over others. Even if you are not the tallest of people heels sometimes leave you feeling like a giant. Stick with flats if you want to feel more comfortable.
