No woman can ever have too many pairs of high heels, and once you’ve learned how to strut your stuff in them, you’ll want to wear them everywhere! Here are five tips that will help you wear those killer heels like a pro and make everyone take notice!
Wear the Right Footwear for the Occasion
Women’s high heels can be sexy and feminine, but they take some getting used to. Here are some tips for wearing them like a pro:
– Make sure the heel height is appropriate. If you want an elegant look, go with 2 or fewer heels; if you’re looking for something more dramatic, choose 3+ heels. Heels that are too tall or too low will look odd and uncomfortable on the feet, no matter what kind of shoe it is.
– Walk around in them before you wear them out. You may need to break them in by wearing them around the house for a while, especially if you buy online without trying them on beforehand. Don’t worry about scuffing up the bottoms – just make sure they feel comfortable before going out.
Select the Right Type of High Heel
Women’s high heels come in many different shapes, colors, and heights. The style that best suits you is determined by the type of heel, the style of the shoe, and the occasion. The four main types of women’s high-heel shoes are stilettos, platforms, peep-toe pumps, and wedges. Stilettos are the highest type of high-heel shoes and should be worn with caution because they can be difficult to walk in. Platforms have less than 3 inches (7.5 cm) of height difference between their toes and heel but still provide some height for those who prefer this style. Peep-toe pumps are less formal than other styles but offer more support so can be worn throughout most occasions including work or school days.
Keep Your Feet Comfortable In Heels
High-heeled shoes are every woman’s best friend. The stylish, elevated look they give you is one of the most feminine ways to accentuate your curves and elongate your legs. But with all the damage they can cause on our feet and backs, high heels aren’t always worth it. Here are some tips for looking great and feeling good at the same time:
1) Always wear them with socks or tights.
2) Don’t wear them for more than 4 hours at a time without taking a break. Even better: don’t wear them more than once per day, or you’ll risk straining ligaments and tendons in the foot that will get worse over time.
Walk Properly In This Fashion Statement
What looks great on Instagram could leave you crippled after a few hours. Walking around the city in high-heeled boots or pumps can quickly take its toll on your feet, legs, and spine—not to mention the pressure on your toes. But you don’t have to resign yourself to doc martens for the rest of your time—just be careful and make some adjustments when choosing what kind of high heels for women you’re going to buy next.
To keep yourself from hobbling home with swollen feet, start by standing tall with your head up and shoulders back. Bend only at the hips when it’s time to step forward, ensuring that you bend from your knees instead of just popping straight down as this reduces shock on your calves and Achilles tendons.
Practice Makes Perfect
Since you’re reading this, I’m assuming you’re either considering buying or have just bought some women’s high heels. If so, congratulations and welcome to the world of fashion. Now that you’re officially part of the club, it’s time to learn how to walk in them without wobbling all over the place – which is kind of hard when you don’t know what you’re doing and don’t have anyone there for support. To help with that, here are some tips:
1) Start off slow by walking on flat surfaces such as sidewalks and tiled floors.
2) Take shorter, lighter steps. The higher you go, the shorter and lighter your steps should be. Start with very small baby steps and take time to get used to walking in them before trying anything more complicated.
3) If you’re standing still, balance on one foot while moving up and down so that you don’t keep bending your knees or shifting around while you learn how they feel when walking. This will help train you for more complex movements later on.
