Adorable Fall Shoes That Won’t Cause Varicose Veins

For women who love shoes, learning that high heels can cause or worsen varicose veins is devastating. High heels are a staple in the fashionable woman’s wardrobe, an integral part of shaping legs and making an outfit pop. However, because high heels inhibit the natural movement that assists your circulatory system in moving blood easily through your lower extremities, wearing high heels too often can force blood valves to work harder than usual and potentially fail, resulting in varicose veins.

To avoid developing varicose veins as a result of wearing high heels too frequently, you need to alternate between heels and flats throughout the week. In good news, there are plenty of fun flats to choose from that will allow you to find the perfect shoes to pair with your favorite fall outfits.

Booties

Booties are perfect for fall when you want to stay warm—but not too warm. Booties can be worn with either pants or skirts, and look great when paired with tights (or even compression stockings if you really want to avoid developing varicose veins). This pair of UGG booties is available from Zappos.com and comes in blue, black, and tan. Its southwestern style is sure to compliment your most stylish outfits.

Flats

If you associate flats with the shoes your mother used to make you wear to church on Sundays, you’re selling these shoes short. Modern flats are highly styled, have vibrant colors, or are topped with an accent that is sure to draw attention to your feet. These bedazzled flats by Lauren Lorraine are available from Zappos.com and come in black, red, and silver. The gems are sure to shine whether you’re under office fluorescents or out in the sunshine.

Ballerina Shoes

These shoes provide the perfect way to stand out even in formal business attire.
