High heels are great for spicing up an otherwise dull outfit, not to mention they make you look taller and slimmer. However, you want to look confident when walking in heels, which can be tricky if you’re not used to wearing them. These tips will help you to improve your walk in high heels, so you can feel like a million bucks when wearing them.
1Improve your posture
Standing straight will allow you to walk and look more confident when rocking those stilettos. You can practice good posture by placing a book on top of your head and walking in heels, making sure that the book doesn’t fall to the ground.
2Take small steps
This can be hard because it’s the opposite of what you are used to. You want to maintain your balance when walking in high heels. Stick with small steps, and your walk will look and feel more natural.
3Practice makes perfect
Before the big event, where you plan on wearing heels, practice walking on the balls of your toes. Your feet and ankles will get stronger over time, and when you put the high heels on, you will find that it’s much easier to walk in them.
4Buy well-made shoes
It’s a good idea to invest in a versatile pair of black or beige stilettos. Make sure they fit you perfectly, have sturdy soles, are stable, and you will have them for a very long time.
5Walk from heel to toe
Women tend to put the whole feet down when walking in heels, which results in their walk looking stiff and unnatural. To avoid this, make sure that the heel of your shoe touches the ground before the ball of your toe does.
6Stretch beforehand
Walking or standing in high heels can give you painful cramps. You can minimize the pain in the calf muscles by stretching before you put your high heels on.
7Lean back
Leaning back slightly will help with your posture and will prevent you from trying to walk faster than you can.
