Things You'll Need:
- Pair of heels
- Confidence
- Attitude
-
Step 1
Incorporate a stride into your step. Legs should be open far enough so that you are not stepping under yourself, but not so the hip sockets are over-exerted. A foot's length apart should suffice. Also, your legs should be leading while keeping the rest of your body upright. Walking with body directly aligned causes too much pressure.
-
Step 2
Next, the stride should end with you placing your foot down heel to toe. This should be done in a slow rolling motion. In order to accomplish this, there must be control from the ankles and metatarsus(5 bones in the top of the foot).
Trying to come down on the feet evenly creates a stomping clunking noise. -
Step 3
Third, always walk with a very slight bend in your knee. If the knees are locked it blocks oxygen coming to and from the legs. ( As you may know standing with knees locked causes fainting.) Also, this takes the stiffness out of your walk.
-
Step 4
Lastly, develop your own style of walk. Don't be afraid to use your hips and the swing of your arms to keep a steady rhythm. Walking with heels requires an attitude and confidence. If these lack, then your walk looks boring and unsure.
-
Step 5
When all of these steps are combined, you should produce a walk in heels, that relieves the pressure off your feet and knees, exudes gracefulness, and increases the amount of time you can walk in your favorite pair of heels.

on 1/9/2009 I don't even remember the last time I wore high heels...mostly because of the pain. Maybe I'll try again.
