I wobble a lot. But here are some good ideas for getting used to walking in heels:

I found a utube video from model Spankie Valentine that is just fabulous. I’ve watched it about 6 or 7 times and it helped me significantly – now I only wobble if my feet aren’t supported, but I can go in 4″ heels no problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a141Kwmkjk

I have a pair of 4.5 inch heels, I love them. Putting in some heel tape definitely helped with getting a snug fit. I still fumble from time to time but I love practice and enjoy walking around the house in them. I feel super sexy and cute prancing back and forth!

Love those high heels started with 3 inch heels and went to 4 then 5 once you get the balance you can’t take them off.

I like walking in heels as well .Saw an article somewhere that suggested walking in heels on a treadmill .I tried it and it took some getting used to it also said to start with about 2″ heels and to work up .Since I only had 4″ heels I started with them then I worked up to 5″ now I can walk perfectly in heels .

Hi Girls,
Here are things that I’ve learned about walking in high heels:
— your shoes should fit snugly (but not so tight as to hurt your feet); if your shoes are even just one size too big, they can cause painful rubbing issues and may cause you to wobble as you walk;
— always walk heel down first; high heels are engineered to withstand your full weight coming down on the heel (even if you’re well over 200 pounds); until I mastered this, I tried to mince and have the heel and toe hit the ground at the same time (which tends to throw you off-balance); carefully watch cisgender women in heels, and you’ll see that they all have the heel hit the ground first;
— walk very upright with your shoulders a bit back; pretend there is an invisible chain attached to the top of your head pulling you straight up (this really helps with balance);
— slow down if you’re walking on uneven surfaces or slippery, hard surfaces (like tile floors, hardwood floors, etc.);
— if a particular pair of high heels always or most times hurt your feet, why wear them?; with a little trial-and-error, you can find other pairs that will be kinder to your feet; sometimes, it’s just better to wear a comfortable, yet feminine, pair of flats (even for dressy occasions; there are some beautiful, very feminine, dressy flats that can be worn with cocktail dresses or formal gowns … of course, comfortable high heels are more fun when you’re adorned in your girliest dressy clothes);
— and lastly, (sorry girls), find the maximum heel height you can comfortably walk in … trying to walk in higher heels than your personal maximum comfortable heel height will not work and will make you look clumsy to onlookers; my maximum heel height is 3″ (there are plenty of high heel styles with 3″ heels that look wonderful and give you the classic “high heel” look); if you can really walk balanced and comfortable in 4″, 5″, 6″ heels, go for it (but not everyone can);
Love,
Sheila.
