Flat ankle boots for someone who has small ankles for under £30 please?

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

I have very small ankles so most of the flat ankle boots I have tried on have swamped my ankles. Does anyone know of any boots I can try on that are under £30 in the UK.

Thanks
I’ve tried new look
They look like i’m wearing my dad’s shoes – you know when you’re 5 and you wear dad’s shoes you look funny, well like that :P

Yeah I’d go with New Look!
I bought some for £18 (with student discount even less!!) and I have small ankles. They are obviously bigger than my ankles but they don’t look ridiculous – I love them!
Also, if when you try boots on and you think they look too big around the ankles then try and picture them a little bit more worn.. when they are new they are quite stiff and don’t look natural – shoes always look better when they aren’t brand new!

Pain below ankle about an inch towards the toes, what is it and how do I treat it?

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

The pain is about an inch from the ankle on the top of my foot, more towards the outside and about an inch past my ankle towards the toes. I was on my knees sitting on my feet and fell back and bent my foot backwards, at the time it didn’t hurt but as the day progressed and walked around it started to hurt. It only hurts when I wear shoes or walk on hard surfaces.

Sounds painful what you did.

I would think it is probably spained or torn ligaments. Get it checked out though because you could have fractured one of the bones in there. And if it is a torn ligament, the doctor needs to monitor that for proper healing or your foot will get messed up later!

Good luck honey!

How to wear ankle boots to school?

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

I have these pair of black ankle booties that I just bought and I wanted to wear them to school. Any suggestions on what to pair them with? Nothing skimpy, my school has a code and it’s winter. (I’ll be changing my shoes once I get inside the school). It’s snowing here!!

Wear them with skinny jeans or leggings. Either one looks really great and they cover you up.

mark. cosmetics has a pair of jean leggings that are really cute and in the ad they show the model wearing them with black booties, so it gives you an idea of what to wear. Just make sure if you wear leggings to wear a long shirt, tunic, or dress over them… having your butt exposed in tight leggings is tacky looking.

go to www.mymarkstore.com/kfalk because I’m a representative for them, if you have more questions for tips, get my contact information from the website

What shoes should I wear to Homecoming with a sprained ankle?

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

I constantly sprain my ankle. My schools Homecoming dance is coming up. I cannot wear heels due to my ankle. What would be a better, but still appropriate shoe choice? I am wearing a lime green strapless dress that hits right about my knees or a little above.

Honestly wear flats no one cares! My friend broke her foot and she wore a cast to homecoming with a short dress and no one cared!

Can being flat footed lead to ankle pain?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

My Mom has been having pain in the back of her ankle, and was wondering if that is because she’s flat footed? If not, what could it be and how should she ease the pain? & etc. Any advice would be helpful, thank you. :)

Yes. I tore my post tibial tendon & became flat footed. The pain I felt went around the bottom of my ankle bone towards my arch.
I finally got orthotics because the pain when I walked was so bothersome.
You can also try sneakers that are specifically made for people with flat feet who need lots of arch support.

Next, I started having pain in the back of my ankle rounding toward the back of my ankle bone: Achilles tendonitis.
If you are flatfooted, you are more prone to irritating your achilles tendon.

I went to my podiatrist who did ultrasound. For the Achilles tendonitis he told me to get heel cups from the drug store to put in my shoes.

I also go for physical therapy & my physical therapist does ultrasound & also uses ICE for about 10 minutes.

She has me use ice at home when I have pain/aches.

I also use Naproxen (Aleve).

I hope your Mom feels better

What shoes to wear with elastic ankle jogging pants outfit?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I have been seeing in the stores cute jogging pants outifts. The ankle is elastic. What do you wear for a shoe. Doesn’t seem like they are selling too fast in my area. Would it be a mistake to buy? Will I buy them and have no shoes. It’s at Express so it ain’t cheap. I can’t find any photos on the internet of this pant leg with shoes- help!

When elastic ankle pants were out a couple of seasons ago people wore flip-flops with them because other shoes would look weird. Wait to see what other people will wear with them. I, myself wouldn’t buy another pair of these pants.

ankle pain from doing plyos wrong, should i rest it or should i strengthen it?

Monday, October 19th, 2009

my ankle has been bothering me for a while now. it just doesnt really feel right, as if its weak and sometimes there is a shooting pain when i jump of my left leg and flick my ankle. i believe this is from me doing plyos on my carpet in my house w/o shoes (stupid mistake). where should i do plyos? outside? but i do not have boxes, how can i do them outside? also should i rest my ankle for a while, or should i start doing strengthening exercises?

If you did plyos incorrectly, and you’re experiencing pain, you might have sprained something or stressed that part too much. Rest a bit and let your ankle recover before you do any exercise. You might want to have a doctor look at that if it gets worse.

If your ankle can handle small/light workouts, then go ahead and do some exercises. Be very careful, though.
