Wearing high heels can make you stand so that your legs look
slimmer, your stomach is flatter. You can also do wonders for your stride, but
walking in high heels is not a natural talent--it's learned skill, perfected by
practice and discipline. There are six steps to use the high heels.
1 Start small and
work your way up:-
Don't go from not ever having worn heels to slipping on some
4 inch stilettos. There are many high heels to choose from, varying in height,
thickness and shape.
2 Choose your shoes carefully:-
Not all high heels are created equal. Stand in your shoes on
a hard floor with your knees straight, and see if you can raise yourself on
your toes an inch. If you can't, the heels are too high for you right now, and
you shouldn't wear them.
3 Take baby steps:-
Walking in the highest heels is not like the walking you
learned to do when you were a child, so you have to do a few things that might
feel counter intuitive: Take small, slow steps, making sure not to bend your
knees any more than you normally would. You'll notice that high heels tend to
shorten your stride a bit. The taller the heel, the shorter the stride ends up
being.
4 Practice:-
Wear your heels for a day around the house before you wear
them out. This will not only allow you to get used to wearing them, but it will
also create scuffs on the bottom so that they are less slippery.
5 Add cushioning
wherever there's a lot of pressure and/or friction:-
There are cushions made in various shapes and from different
materials that you can stick on the inside of your shoe for more comfortable
walking. Use them generously.
6 Give your feet a
break:-
Sit down every twenty minutes or so. If you are in the
bathroom, sit down. Don't take your heels off, this will only allow the pain to
worsen. They swell a bit after you take them off, which make it harder to
continue after.
