How to Walk in Heels

So I decided to go in the Forum a few days ago to get some inspo for new blog ideas and came across a thread titled, Tips and Tricks How-To Walk In Heels, and I thought the topic would be great for a blog post!

Walking in heels isn’t easy. It takes a lot of time and practice. For most, it doesn’t come naturally either. Hopefully with these ten tips I have listed for you below, you’ll be walking in sky-high stilettos in no time!
Buy the right pair. Start off with low wedges or platforms that are comfy and fit well (shoe inserts can be really helpful). Once you’re ready, work your way to stilettos. Also, test-drive heels before you buy them. If heels are too high for you, you’ll never be able to walk in them (even if you’re a pro)! If you’re buying your first pair of heels, make sure they have an ankle or t-strap. It really helps keep your foot on place, especially while you’re learning.
Pretend like you’re walking on your tippy toes! It helped me
Maintain good posture from your head all the way through your spin and keep your neck and head held high!
Stand up and balance your weight and distribute it evenly on each foot. Once you’re balanced, take one step forward. Keep doing this until you don’t have to take breaks in between. Your body will adjust to shifting your weight naturally and you’ll find that walking in heels isn’t so hard!
Watch your step and keep an eye on the type of surface you’re walking on.
Swing your arms as you walk. This will also help keep you balanced.
When you walk in heels, extend and straighten your leg with each step. This will make your seem more graceful and ladylike.
Never, ever tilt your heel back and put your weight on it. Most likely, the heel will snap! And that’s never a good thing…
Be confident! Keep your head up and walk on! If you trip or stumble (we all do), just keep on walking with your head held high.
Most importantly: practice, practice, practice!! After all, practice makes perfect
