Practice - Wear them for short periods of time around the house to used to them
Comfort - I know some say comfort and high heels do not go together. But it can. Try lots of different shoes! Some pairs are oh so painful after an hour while others can be almost a dream! My most comfortable pair is surprisingly from Walmart and cost around $10!
Calluses - Leave them! I find that has made more shoes More comfortable because my feet have built in padding.
Have Fun!

Well, I am a guy, and I love to wear heels. It took me quite some time to learn to walk in them, and when my friends see me in them, they say that I walk better than them in them. What I did was I just wore them for a couple hours a day. I started with 3 and 4" heels. Then I would wear them for a couple hours the next day, until they hurt. I gradually built up the ability to walk in them, and can now wear them all day long and not feel a thing. It is perfectly comfortable. Good luck, and remember heels are sexier than flats!

If they're not sandals get some thin gel inserts so they're more comfy to walk in.
Or...I don't know if this would really work, but it's worth a shot. Put some Icy-Hot on your feet when they start to hurt.
Or just wear them around the house more. It's supposed to tone either your butt or your thighs, I forget which...vacuuming while wearing heels. It was on the Tyra show about a year ago.

Walking and feeling comfortable in heels takes practice. Put gel inserts or pads in your shoes and practice wearing them for longer periods of time. My aunt bought a cute pair of shoes she wasn't used to, so she would just wear them when doing cleaning and things at her house during the day to build her tolerance and get accustomed to them.

I swear this works. Do calf raises, where you stand with your heels hanging off a step or chair. Raise and lower yourself onto your tiptoes, VERY SLOWLY. This will strengthen your calf muscles. Also, get some inserts for your shoes. DO NOT BUY GEL INSERTS. I don't care what anybody says, they suck. I tried them when I was waitressing, and I threw them in the trash after one night.

Depending on what the inside of your shoes are made of, you can warm them up (with like a blow dryer) and put them on to mold them to your feet. Wear them up and down stairs (good exercise!) to break them in. Take multiple shoes to work and alternate every hour between your comfy shoes and your new ones.

Just think of how good you looked in them. Pop some aspirin and maybe soak your feet in warm bubbly water to forget about it. Just forget about the pain and keep going!!

You could wear those dr. Sholes women heal inserts. That should work.

start out by walking in small thick heels (not the thin stilettos) then work your way up! :)
