THE DESIGNER SHOE designer Helen Bateman says the secret to happy feet is to train yourself to wear heels. The Perth-based independent shoemaker said: "Everyone has their comfort zone. Some women run around all day in two inches but find it hard to step up to three. "Thankfully it is possible to train yourself how to wear heels. It's like exercise - you teach your body to get used to the sensation. "In high heels, all the muscles in your legs, bum and feet work differently. If you're used to flats, start low and go up a notch at a time." Helen says it is worth buying good quality shoes with built-in support and cushioning. She said: "The balance of the shoe is critical - the toe should be raised slightly when you look at it on the shelf. "Also check the back. It should be slightly pinched at the top if it's good quality." THE MODEL FORMER Miss Scotland Nieve Jennings is a dedicated heel wearer. Her favourites are a pair of 5in Christian Louboutins, similar to those sported by Posh. She said: "Heels are a beautiful, feminine treat every woman should enjoy. "I've just learned to suffer the pain. After five fashion shoots in a day, the backs of my heels and the arch ofmy foot ache but I've never needed to use insoles. "High heels should never be clumpy - a thin stiletto is best. I give my feet a rest in Gucci trainers or [[http://www.inugg.com/ | ugg boots]] but mostly I'm in heels. I'd tell people who aren't used to heels to buy only soft leather shoes and get sponge soles." ==Tozzi sets scene for more drama== NOT content with being an actor on the rise, Cronulla's Tahyna Tozzi has launched a career as a film producer. Tozzi, 22, said she had started Avakea Productions in Los Angeles with fellow Australian starlets Teresa Palmer and Nathalie Kelley. "We are currently working on a film and looking to go into production next year," she said. The film is a dark, psychological crime thriller set in Sydney in the 1970s. Tozzi makes her film debut in Beautiful, an Australian drama released today that has her flirtatious character sunbaking in the rain. "It was so cold that particular day - I remember walking on to set seeing everyone in parkas and [[http://www.inugg.com/ | ugg boots]] and here I am in a bathing suit about to be drenched by a ginormous hose." Tozzi, a graduate of Blue Water High with a role in the coming X-Men Origins: Wolverine, said she was slowly adjusting to life in LA, where she has been based for a year. "I have managed to find little hobbies and things to do to keep me away from being absorbed by glitz of this town," she said. |

Here GAYLE RITCHIE asks the experts - what is the best way to survive in stilettos?
THE SURGEON
MIKE O'NEILL repairs the damage caused by high heels on a daily basis - and it's an ugly business.
The Society of Chiropodists' surgeon said: "Cramming feet into ridiculous heeled shoes is like a modern day version of Chinese bound feet - a 21st-century torture.
"You squash your foot into an unnatural position, it moulds and eventually takes that shape. Victoria Beckham's feet are full of bunions but she probably only wears them to be photographed. My concern is for the average woman who wears heels all day.

"Get the balance right. Wear heels for fashion moments and comfort shoes for everything else.
"And mirror American women by wearing trainers to get to work then change when you get there."
THE SPECIALIST

She said: "Get a shoe that suits your foot shape.
Get measured for both width of foot and depth of toe and visit a podiatrist.
