You can now often see the news about the Duchess’ official appearances, her outfits, and those who designed them. Meghan’s style choice generates huge interest indeed!

Even though many adore the way she dresses up, there is something unusual in her choise of footwear. It seems that almost all of her shoes are of the wrong size.

At the Royal Ascot Racing, the attentive fans noticed the “mistake” again, despite her dazzling Givenchy dress by Clare Waight Keller.

Why does Meghan Markle wear shoes like that?

Fashion experts have the answer! Moreover, it is considered a very common trick among celebrities.

Fashion expert, Harriet Davey, explains that when celebrities have to attend long-lasting events, they often wear one or even two sizes up to prevent blisters.

Wearing high heels for a long time can not only cause blisters, but also inflammation and even long-term unpleasant bunions. That is why celebrities size up on shoes – to avoid injuries and not spend all night in discomfort.

How do they walk with such big shoes?

If you are encouraged by this alternative to save your feet, you are likely wondering how to walk around glamorously without losing balance with heels that aren’t of your size.

In order to not lose your footing (or footwear!), you will need to fill the boot tip with a soft filling, like a tissue paper or cotton wool.

It can be removed when the foot adapts to walking with a different size, or when the footwear starts to bother, and you require more free space.
