Walk In High Heels

Walking in high heels can be a little tricky, especially when walking in front of a large crowd. Confidence shows in the way we walk, if not comfortable walking in high heels it will show. Learn how to walk correctly in high heels.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • High heels.
  1. Step 1

    The first step is the most important. Be smart when buying high heels. Look for shoes you can be comfortable in and can support your weight. Look at the padding and arch in the shoes. The farther forward the arch is in the shoe, the grounded you will feel.

  2. Step 2

    Stand up straight. Head should be up and shoulder's back. Doing this will avoid unneeded pressure on your feet.

  3. Step 3

  4. Step 4

    As you walk lightly spread your toes to gain balance. This will even out your weight to the ball of the foot.

  5. Step 5

    Use your hips to avoid feeling of balance. Movement should be small hip movements, avoid large obvious movements.
