Walking and slaying in high heels should be an Olympic sports event.
It is that serious. Women everywhere love the elevation, confidence and of course, the sexy legs that come with wearing high-heeled shoes. If you want to walk like a boss in heels, here are a few secrets to help:
1. Always walk “Heel to Toe”
If you’re wearing flats, how you walk is no problem. But on heels, the correct way is “heel to toe”. Your heel (with the elevation) must come down first before your toes (front part of the shoe). This makes your walk look natural.
2. Take Dainty Steps
Wearing heels mean your regular strides have to be halved. Think dainty thoughts and take dainty steps. Don’t forget to swing those hips.
3. Walk Slowly Like A Boss Chic
Ever notice how bosses are never in a hurry? When you’re wearing heels, you have to think of yourself as a boss chic and take things slow. No fast walk or long strides. Take things slow and keep your balance whilst looking fabulous.
4. Think Of the Road As a Straight Runway
When on heels, it helps to visualize a straight line/runway from where you are to your destination. Don’t stare down at your toes. Look straight ahead and strut your stuff.
5. Lean Back, Ladies
There are times when you desperately need to increase your speed and get to your destination faster. You may want to compensate by leaning forward and putting pressure on your neck. Don’t! Many people who do this look like “tolo tolo on the run”. Just lean back slightly and increase your pace.
6. Arch Those Feet
Some of us have the curse of “sweaty feet” but love heels. When you feel your feet slipping, arch your feet slightly. This will put pressure on the inside of your shoes and make them fit better. Your shoes will stop slipping and you can manoeuvre better.
7. Wear Comfortable Shoes
Comfortable shoes are important to your overall slay. Ill-fitting shoes making your walking pattern seem unnatural. You can take care of shoes that are too big by wearing shoe pads. You can also stretch out shoes that are too tight. Just ask a cobbler.
