How to Wear High Heels One of the secrets of great looking legs is a fabulous
pair of heels. The right heels will make your legs look
longer, leaner and more graceful.' Well that's great,' you
say, 'but how do I walk in them'? Many women like the
look of high heels but stay away from them because they
find them difficult to walk in comfortably.
You can learn to walk in heels comfortably simply by
following these suggestions:
1. Buy the Right Size: Your shoes should not be tight
enough that they pinch your feet and cause blisters, nor should
they be big enough to slip off. Consider the height of the heel.
Shoes that are 2 inches high are much more comfortable will
be much easier to get used to than stilettos.
2. Get Used to Your Heels: Before you take to the streets
in your new heels (especially if you have always worn flats)
wear them around the house to get used to them. Wear them
for a half hour a day for a few days on a flat surface (not on
carpet).
3. Learn How to Walk: Start with your toes
pointing straight ahead and keep your legs close together. If
you are used to walking with your toes pointing outward this
might take a little practice. Start by stepping on your heel,
rolling smoothly onto the ball of your foot. Swing your arms
as you walk, pay attention to your posture and look forward. |
