How to Make High Heels More Comfortable
1. Place a cushion under the balls of your foot. There are readily available cushions in stores that best suit you.
2. Bring flats/slippers if you are in the office, to alternate with your high heels. If you're at a party and can't change to flats, sitting down once in a while and doing imaginary circles with your feet may do the trick.
3. Bring band-aids. New shoes tend to cause blisters on your feet and if you leave it rubbing against your skin as it is, you may never be able to wear shoes the next day because of the pain. Place band-aids on the blister-prone areas (usually at the back of the feet near the ankle) or any area of your feet that rubs against the inner shoe.
4. Wear new shoes at least a day before wearing them out, this will loosen the shoes a bit and you will get to notice possible problems with the shoe ahead of time like blisters or sliding feet.

How to Spot an Authentic Louis Vuitton
1. Zippers are stamped with the Louis Vuitton Logo
2. Camel-colored handles are painted red at the seams.
3. The "O"s are circular and not oval
4. Louis Vuitton is big on symmetry so the LV logos must not be cut and the seams and logo prints must be matched evenly on both sides.
5. Each bag has a date code consisting of two letters followed by four numbers that state when and where the bag was made. Bags prior to 1980 did not have date codes so if a vintage supposedly made prior to 1980 has a date code, it's most likely fake.
6. The stitches are even and regular.
