Finding Your Crossdressing Walk
Researchers recently attached lights to people walking to study the characteristics of a feminine walk, and a masculine walk. Here you can find a short video showing the crossdressing walk. You’ll notice that the more feminine walk shows the hips rotating in a swinging fashion while the shoulders rotate in response. I’ve seen a few transvestites who try to swing their hips while keeping their shoulders straight. This looks, and feels awkward.
Another hallmark of the feminine walk is keeping your legs close together, while your feet seem to be treading an invisible line. This is difficult to do if you’re wearing heels, and can look a bit overdone if you cross your feet in front of you. In the video you’ll see that the feminine walk is a bit exaggerated, but it’s instructive when you look at the more masculine walks.
A lack of swinging in the hips and more balanced legs are more masculine. If you’re knees are pointed outward with your center of gravity on your chest area you’ll quickly be read as a man.
I found this video to contain some valuable advice for the transgendered looking to improve their feminine walk. Remember – keep your center of gravity over your hips, stand up straight and keep your legs closer together!
Happy Crossdressing!

would it be the same even if I don’t wear heels?
Vanessa, that video is no longer at that link. Just so you know.

Could you please find the video again? That link takes you to an “error" page.
I have been wearing heels for a while now and it took me some time to learn to balance. I practiced the walk in tennis shoes and watched how women walk . Finally learned to be more natural in my gait and more comfortable
How I envy you girls walking in heels. Arthritis has stopped me.now mostly Sneakes. And Flats
@Rachel Branch I know exactly what you mean Rachel.  This year I suffered a very badly sprained ankle and subsequently a bad back…both stopped the wearing of heels.  And now I have a really sore toe, stopping me from wearing closed heeled shoes!  But health is important.  I hope your arthritis eventually let you wear heels again.  Hugs Christine.
Seems when most try to walk more in a more feminine manner they exaggerate the motions and it’s too noticeable. There’s nothing more telling though than seeing someone dressed all pretty and walking like a football player taking the field. Basically it’s walk like and Indian, one foot in front of the other, shorter steps, feet close together and walk from the hips. Men generally stride like they are trying to get somewhere fast and use more upper body in their motions. Women walk from the waist and hips, elbows in near the body, not swinging everywhere. It takes practice… Read more »
