Re: Learning to walk in heels

[(Anonymous)]

I think the basic have really been covered already? Start with wedges or small heels - the wider the base of the heel the better, because it gives you more support while you get used to the lift. (Wedges can have narrow bases too, especially at the back, so be careful.) And walk heel to toe - but the other way around if you're going up stairs! If you put your heel down first and it slides off the edge of the stairs, you could take a nasty tumble.

Also remember that heels will take some time to get accustomed to if you've never worn them before. Even the tiny ones that seem perfectly fine when you first put them on? After a few hours wearing them, they seem like hell-spawn.

So, things to consider: wear them when you know you're going to be sitting down at least for a while (dinner out etc) so you can stretch your legs/feet and take the weight off.
If you're wearing them to work, especially if it's a sit-down kind of job, consider packing a pair of flats in your bag (or leaving them at your workstation, as long as you don't have a thieving problem!) so you can change into them while at your desk. Slip back into your heels when you're going to meet someone, but otherwise give your feet a break. You surely don't need heels to go to the bathroom, and minimising the time spent walking in heels is good.

Basically, just look for opportunities to take it easy on your feet, and give yourself time to get accustomed to heels. Practice at home if you feel wobbly at all.

On a purely health-related note, I don't advocate wearing heels for sustained periods of time, and if you do wear them, I don't advocate the ultra-high ones that force your foot to flex unhealthily. Long-term use can cause ligament and bone damage, even beyond the obvious increased risk of ankle sprains etc. For reference: http://myeduniya.com/Entertainment/TvSerials/?revid=49241 [Article is originally from the Washington Post; I chose this link because it has the picture.]

That said, it's your choice, of course. Just pay attention to what your body tells you; if it needs a break, give it one. Otherwise, enjoy your heels!
