A study by the U.K. Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists has revealed that pregnant women may be risking their foot health by trying to imitate celebrity fashion trends in footwear.

In their study of 1,000 pregnant women, researchers found that half of the women felt they needed to keep up with fashion trends in footwear during their pregnancy. Over a third wore high heels during pregnancy and two-thirds wore flip-flop sandals.

Both types of shoes have been found to cause foot problems. High heels alter a woman’s posture, while flip-flops do not provide enough foot and arch support.

Lorraine Jones, a podiatrist from the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, says, “If you’re pregnant choose well fitted, round toed and low heeled, comfortable shoes with straps to support the foot and ankle and help minimize discomfort and prevent the prospect of long term damage.”

She also adds, “Many of the pregnant celebrities you see wearing high heels in magazines are attending events, so [pregnant women should] try to keep [their] high heeled, high fashion shoes for a special occasion and stick to a more supportive shoe on a daily basis.”

This is the final post of a three-part series, based on Bad Shoes & The Women Who Love Them, on using your head when choosing your shoes.

The other day, I popped into Intermix, the über-trendy, boho luxe boutique chain that sells grown women jumpshorts and sequined leggings. In the shoe department, every shoe had either a five-inch heel — or no heel at all. The choice was between sky-high or pancake-flat. Dominatrix-inspired stilettos with cage-like straps or ballet flats with a bit of frou-frou to peek out from beneath your skinny jean hem.

Before I could say “Brian Atwoods are the new Louboutins” and walk out, I remembered that the selection is more or less the same at most fashionable shoe departments this season. No doubt you, too, have attempted to buy shoes you could wear for at least three hours without wincing and have rationalized that a one-inch platform on a four-inch heel transforms the height into a mere three inches, and how bad could that really be?

Don’t worry! I feel your foot pain. And I understand: You want something chic and show-stopping, sexy and sensational. I am here to help you be a sane shoe shopper.

Yes, you know that “bad” shoes — with a high heel and a narrow toebox — will deform your feet if you wear them on a regular basis. But “good” shoes often look like something you wear with a housecoat while you refill the bowl of hard candies. What should you do?

1. Know that there are many, many shoes out there that are both stylish and sensible. You have to find the ones that are right for you. Allot some time for your search. Do not give up hope. If you persist, you will be rewarded.

2. Visit a store that specializes in old-fashioned, sit-and-fit service. Ask a salesperson to measure your feet. Don’t presume that you know your shoe size. Your feet change over time. Make sure to find out your shoe width.

3. Don’t buy shoes if you can’t wiggle your toes in them. Look for a toe box that is rounded or squared with plenty of wiggle room.

4. For everyday walking, choose a shoe with a heel between a half-inch to an inch.

5. Do not assume that flats are better than high heels. In fact, often they are not. Soles that are completely flat can cause feet to pronate (roll inward when walking). Look for flats that have a contoured footbed or built-in arch support so that your ankles and feet are stable. Many styles have a strap across the midfoot, which holds your foot in place.

It’s a sheer delight to see celebrities sporting their dresses made by their designers. It’s always a girl thing.
