7 Tips on Mastering How to Stylishly Strut Your Stuff in Heels
Tip #1 - Practice standing in your heels. It helps standing in front of a mirror so you can observe your posture and balance. If you have trouble keeping your balance, try taking yoga classes. Tip #2 - Once you feel comfortable standing in heels move onto walking. When walking make sure with every step you take you straighten and extend your leg while trying to keep your legs as close together as possible. This will help you move more gracefully and avoid the dreaded uncoordinated and awkward walk. Tip #3 – Break in your new heels. Don’t try new heels out on a first date or important outing. There’s nothing worse than getting blisters and carrying around a box of band-aids to treat your wounds. Tip #4 - Sit whenever possible to give your feet a rest. Resting periodically will make you last longer in your heels by giving your feet a break. Tip #5 - Customize your soles for added comfort. Wherever you find even the slightest pain or wrong rubbing on your feet address the area of the heel with some padding, cushions, or inserts. Tip #6 – Make sure your heels have grips. Sometimes the sole of heels can be slippery because there are no ridges. To help avoid slipping you should apply grip slips to the bottom of the sole. You can also use sandpaper to roughen the sole. Tip #7 - Be confident. Strut your stuff because you know you look gorgeous in those sexy heels. As your confidence grows in your abilities to stand and walk and can move up your heel height. Keep in mind though that you may walk differently in different heel heights. So if you’re going from a short heel one day to a higher heel the next, make sure you take a test run around the house before you leave. I hope this finds you walking with grace and confidence. Remember, learning to walk in heels is perfected by practice. Happy Strutting!
