How to Walk In High Heels.
There is nothing more stylish than a woman who can walk in heels with confidence, but it is very inelegant if you cannot walk in your shoes. Walking in high heels is an easily learned skill that requires practice and discipline. First, you should only wear shoes that are comfortable, even if this means wearing a lower heel. I always advise my clients to wear the height, shape, and style that is the most comfortable and most flattering. Start small and work your way up. Don't go from never having worn heels to slipping on a pair of four-inch stilettos. There are many heels to choose from, varying in height, thickness, and shape. Training your feet will allow your ankles to develop the strength they need to walk safely and gracefully in high heels. Begin with a shoe that has a broad, low, heel with plenty of support (such as ankle straps). Kitten heels (low, skinny heels) or wedge heels (where the heel is fully attached to the sole of the shoe) are good to start with. Practice standing in high heels. In front of a full length mirror, stand for a while, then turn slightly to each side. You will be able to check your posture and profile. Your posture should be straight, shoulders back and chin up. Noteveryone can wear the same height of heels. Stand in your shoes on a hard floor with your knees straight, and see if you can raise yourself on your toes. If you can’t, the heels are too high for you right now, and you should not wear them. As you walk in high heels, remember to keep your legs straight, close, and as parallel as possible. Take small steps. Put your heel down first right before your toes. Once your weight is on the balls of your feet, shift your weight forward, as if you're walking on your tip toes. Wear your heels for a day around the house before you wear them out. Don't forget about the stairs — place your entire foot on each step as you come down the steps, but only place the ball of your foot on each step as you go up. Bring a pair of flat shoes with to wear when your feet require a break; and add cushioning for extra comfort.
See You Next Week!
