on 12/15/2009 this will sound mad, but the best way to learn to walk in heels is to run and jump around your house in them! just be sure to have something to grab onto if you fall! running on a carpet or wooden floor helps with controlling you balance, then when you first venture out opt for low heels or link arms with a friend or partner for support and you'll soon get the hang of them. just wearing heels in your house helps alot...so does a glass of wine!

on 12/1/2009 my main problem with heels, besides being kind of a klutz, has always been that i'll randomly take a step slightly wrong and my ankle will buckle sometimes, causing me to stumble drunkenly. apparently there are exercises you can to to make your ankles stronger if this is your problem.

on 10/6/2009 Hello honey - I am very sorry but this actually does not make a good guide. I did try following your instructions but I ended up looking like a stork or somethint like that. My husband came in saw me and asked if I were in pain or if he could help me somehow. If you would enlarge the first three steps put more detail in them or maybe even create a video that would be quite more helpful.

on 1/16/2008 I really like wearing high heels, but my husband feels uncomfortable when I wear them because they make me taller than him. Great article, thanks.

on 1/15/2008 Practice, so you don't look awkward. If shoes are open-toed, make sure feet and toenails are clean and polished looking. And, look into getting some Dr. Scholl's comfort cushions to make those high heels feel more comfortable so you can walk and look sexy without the pain!

on 9/15/2007 So sorry, I forgot to say in the before article, that with open pumps, we can use a Mary Jane model with a tightened wide strap over the instep, or with many tightened narrow straps, to help not to crush your toes with a 100% of the strong slanting force caused by the very high heel, over 5".

on 9/21/2007 My expertise in walking in ultra high heels says:
The only way to do it OK, is not crushing your toes, so no sandals or open shoes with over 5" heels.
Wear closed shoes as oxfords or boots, very thightened to your foot, principally against your insteps to accept here the strong slanting force caused by the very high heel, and to help this, put some pads under your toes, near the begining of your toes, ending in zero at the she shoe point.
This part will accept a big part of the force instead of your toes, that would be crushed by the very strong slanting force caused by the ultra heel height.

on 6/30/2007 I warn AGAINST driving barefoot, as this article suggests. A sharp pebble that sticks to the bottom of your foot can cause an accident if you suddenly apply sharp and quick pressure to the brake pedal - the sudden pain will cause you to instinctively relax pressure. Wearing flats or a pair clogs is absolutely a safer option.

on 1/30/2007 does anyone have any tips on how to correct/avoid erroding the rubber on the actual heels? I'm not light on my feet and every pair of heels seem to be wearing away at a slight angle...or erroding right down to the nail.

on 12/10/2006 Walk a little slower, take your time. Be careful, there's no rush. Practice walking and dancing in them at home : ). Oh yeah, you know how you feel a little sexier when you walk in heels? Use that to help you; it's ok when it feels natural to sway your hips a little more than you would if you were in sneakers. The sway is helping you keep your balance!
