“They’re Very Very Painful To Walk In”: Woman Shows Beautiful Shoes From Shein Are Not the Best

• A digital content creator posted a video warning people about a pair of stylish gold heels she bought from online retailer Shein
• The shoes feature a thin pencil-like heel with a round ball at the end for balance, but according to the woman, they're only good for taking photos and not for walking around
• She explained that despite their eye-catching look, the pain they cause makes them impractical for everyday use or events where you need to stand or walk for any length of time

Local digital creator @rea_cossa, who regularly posts beauty tips and product reviews, shared a video two weeks ago of herself holding up a pair of gold heels with thin pencil-like heels and a round ball at the bottom.

In her clip, she warns viewers that no matter how tempting these shoes might look, they should avoid buying them from the Chinese online retailer, Shein, as they're very, very painful to walk in and only good for taking pictures.

Pretty but painful

The shoes in question feature an elegant design with a slim heel and shiny gold finish that would catch anyone's eye. However, the content creator made it clear that their beauty comes at a steep price in terms of comfort.

According to her review, the main issue is that the shoes are nearly impossible to walk in comfortably. While they might look perfect in photos or when sitting down, they cause too much pain to be practical for any event where standing or walking is needed.

High heels like the ones featured in the video can cause several foot problems. The thin, pencil-like heels force the foot into an unnatural position, putting extreme pressure on the ball of the foot where the long bones meet the toe bones.

This type of heel also offers very little stability, making it easy to wobble and potentially twist an ankle. The round ball at the end of the heel might add some balance, but according to the creator's experience, it's not enough to make these shoes wearable for more than a few minutes.
