Kim Kardashian buys first flats: 'So uncomfortable!'

The pregnant reality star loves her high heels.

Kim Kardashian, out and about to promote her newTyler Perry's Temptation movie, hid her bump under a poufy, short beige dress as she visited Live with Kelly and Michael today. Kristin Chenoweth, who was filling in for Kelly Ripa, asked about her maternity outfits and why there's so much chatter about the reality star's pregnancy style.

"My sister Kourtney warned me when I wasn't pregnant," said Kim. "She said all of the criticism you get when you're pregnant or a new mom is insane. Just wait." She went on to say, "I wore this black leather skirt the other day. People are like why are you wearing black? Are you ashamed? Are you trying to hide it? It was tight! I was trying to show the bump. (They said) You're trying to suffocate the baby. I had this maternity skirt made for me, like specially!"
She added, "Everything I do it seems to be crazy."

What's really crazy is what she said next: "I just bought my first pair of flats the other day. And I wore them. They are SO uncomfortable. Like, my heels are so comfortable," she said, acknowledging that at 5-feet-2 she likes the added height.

When Chenoweth noted the beautiful high heels she was wearing on the show, Kardashian admitted, "My foot is so swollen. I will say. It really is. And I'm sad. You know, 'cuz all my shoes doen't really fit me anymore. But I heard it goes back. Hopefully."

The 7 Most Dangerous Fashion Items for Your Health

Not to send you all scrambling but are you a potential fashion victim? Find out!

1. High heels: Of course, we know all about this one...heels higher than two inches "have been linked to bunions, hammer toes, stress fractures and ankle sprains." Those who are pregnant and wear sky heels are at even more risk for injury. Stars like Jessica Simpson, Tina Fey, and Jennifer Lopez have all sported sky-high footwear while pregnant.

Even though Jessica Simpson isn’t letting her pregnancy get in the way of her chic style, the singer --- who recently admitted she weighed 170 lb. when she shot her racy Elle cover --- donned six-inch heels. She admitted: "We're waddling at this point. I'm wearing six-inch heels today, and it's a lot of weight to carry on six inches."

Why risk the injury to yourself during pregnancy? Are those sky-high heels really worth years of foot problems just to look stylish during pregnancy?

2. Flip flops: "Flip-flops are even worse, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association. Researchers at Auburn University videotaped 39 volunteers and noticed they had to clench their toes to keep them on, leading to foot fatigue, sore calf muscles and an altered gait, which could cause long-term ankle and hip problems."

3. Skinny jeans : Wearing practically-painted-on pants can interfere with digestion, according to an internist (who found the problem so common he dubbed it "tight pants syndrome"), and they've also been responsible for "lower back pain, yeast infections in women and a rare condition called lipoatrophia semicircularis, in which horizontal lesions appear around the thighs." Good thing flares are back!

4. Spanx: Wearing your beloved shape wear for too long can cause nerve compression and reduced oxygen intake. Consider yourselves warned.

5. Tight ties and shirts: A Cornell study says a whopping 67% of men need to loosen up at the office-wearing shirts with too-small neck sizes and too-tight ties can reduce circulation to the brain and decrease range of motion in the neck and increase muscle tension in the back and shoulders. And since ties are rarely cleaned, they transmit infections easily.

6. Heavy handbags: Wearing an oversize tote on the same shoulder can throw off your back alignment. According to the Journal, "The American Chiropractic Association recommends that women carry no more than 10% of their body weight in a bag."

7. Accessories containing nickel: "Even minute amounts of nickel in rings, earrings, belt buckles, watch backs and jeans rivets can cause an itchy red rash on people who have nickel allergy, which can begin suddenly even in adulthood."
