How To Walk in Heels

I have seen many a girl attempt to walk in heels… and look like an unbalanced tight-rope walker. Staggering left, then right, butt out, chest forward, and ankles wobbling. It does not give the desired effect- Sexy it is not! When one of these girls comes wobbling down the street you hear other women sighing (I can’t believe she things she can walk in those) gay men yelling “Oh, honey I could give you lessons,” and others look on and laugh.

This is not what you want when you buy those adorable 3 1/4″ heels… what you really want is to be that gorgeous woman, with legs up to there, sashaying down the street, catching every eye that walks by. A picture of grace and sexiness… but that won’t happen if you don’t know how to walk in those heels!

Here is a simple 6 step process for learning how to conquer those Stilettos:

Step 1:Step with your heel down first, then let the sole follow quickly and smoothly.

Step 2:Walk with your toes pointing straight ahead or as close to straight ahead as possible.

Step 3:Swing your arms as you walk for balance. (Gracefully, this isn’t a marathon!)

Step 4:Keep your legs straight, close and parallel.

Step 5:Take smooth, even steps; consider shortening your stride a bit.

Step 6:Avoid walking on ice, slush, mud, grass, sand, gravel and grated surfaces, on which you can slip or sink. When in doubt, take off your heels and carry them across such questionable surfaces in your bare feet.

Most importantly: practice, practice, practice! Watch yourself in the mirror at home, and when you are satisfied that you look amazing, and won’t brake an ankle… that’s when you take those shoes in public.
