Disclaimer: Remember that every woman is different, and tall pumps aren’t the last word in style. If you feel more comfortable wearing only heeled booties or even not wearing heels at all, it’s completely your prerogative and it's perfectly fine. Decorative flats can make just as much of a statement as high heels!

- So basically I am dedicating this to Women that are planing to wear heels and are not sure if they can really make it without tripping over or without feeling the burning pain ...

But allow me to help you out Ladies <3 (and some Gents of course)

High Heels are a Girls best friend (or some Girls worst Enemy so it's understandable) for various reasons, for helping you stand taller, look slimmer, feel more confident, or just to fit in the particular Event ... or just because somebody likes walking in them (me)

How To Walk in High Heels -Treat Your Feet With Respect-

I am a High Heel Fan, and not to brag but honestly, I can walk in High Heels for hours without even complaining, and a lot ask me how do I freaking manage to walk fearlessly back and forth as if they are sneakers ... and I say:

Well, it takes a lot of practice and a little bit of healthy choices -;Natured

Walking in sky-high heels can be a little tricky, especially if you're not used to it.

I'm about to list these helpful tips and you'll be strutting like a catwalk model in 5-inch stilettos in no time!

Obviously, if you are planing to start wearing them, trust me, I hated High Heels and I would not put them on not even for Prom in High-School, so I've been there.

But now working at the office, and having a boyfriend that loves high heels, and having one event after the other that requires High Heels, i sort of thought I'd satisfy all of them, and I actually ended up satisfying myself more because I loved walking in them ... !!!

"It was love at first walk"

1. Low Heel - Wedges

How To Walk in High Heels -Treat Your Feet With Respect-
The taller the heel, the shorter the stride ends up being, your Feet need an introduction to high heels, so I would recommend if you are a beginner to start wearing either Wedges (like on the picture) they are super easy to walk on, or high heels that are not that high ... but medium. So your feet starts adapting. Make sure to make small steps while you walk and choose carefully your first heels.

2. Walk from heel to toe.

The aim is to walk as normally as possible in your high heels. Put your heel to the ground first, followed smoothly by your toes. Then, once your weight is on the balls of your feet, shift your weight forward as if you're walking on your tip toes, and push forward for the next step. Don't walk forcefully, take it easy.

3. Improve your posture

Imagine there is a piece of invisible string holding your head upright—your head should be in line with your spine and your chin should be parallel with the floor.Try not to look down. High heels like the ones on the picture are really comfortable, because they hold your feet in control because of the ankle strap. Usually High heels like these are way more easy to walk on and they actually look cute :)

4. Size Matters

How To Walk in High Heels -Treat Your Feet With Respect-
You have to make sure your heels (or any shoe, for that matter) are the proper size. If they're too big, your foot will slide around awkwardly and it's so uncomfortable. Too small and your foot will feel cramped which is even worse, which will make walking a living hell. For the best fit, get your foot sized directly at the shop, ask for help, and don't order shoes online ... anything but not shoes ...

5. Take Time-Outs

How To Walk in High Heels -Treat Your Feet With Respect-
Whenever and wherever you can, sit, sit, sit

!! Especially the first times, and DON'T take off your shoes if you plan on putting them back on, it will make it worse, keep some flats in your bag if you know the night is long, I don't want you to walk around barefoot Ladies -_- ... WHY? Because your feet will SWELL UP even more, and your elephant foot won't fit in that shoe anymore. .. so SIT relax, stretch and make small steps... remember small steps are very important.

6. Look For Sturdy Soles

Make sure your heel has shock-absorbing features like an elevated sole and padded footbed. Plus, a rounded toe is always more comfortable than a pointed one, and they look better anyways ... even if the pointed ones seem to be In now but ... they look ridiculous to me...

7. Break In The Bottoms

How To Walk in High Heels -Treat Your Feet With Respect-
Scratch the bottom of your soles with sandpaper. Trust me, usually new shoes slip if they have a really flat bottom, so scratch the bottom in that case with sandpaper even if it sounds weird but you will feel way more secure and stable in your heels.

8. Pads

How To Walk in High Heels -Treat Your Feet With Respect-
There are a lot of products available at the pharmacy or grocery stores that'll give your feet some extra support. The metatarsal or ball of the foot pads, they are important, since the ball of your foot suffers the most and has to sort of carry your whole weight, make it at least sit on a nice soft pad, it works wonders, make sure the pads are not TOO THICK or else your shoe will be too tight..

9. Love your Feet

How To Walk in High Heels -Treat Your Feet With Respect-
Moisturizing your feet should be your number one priority especially after a hard day. Usually the best time to apply a moisturizer is after a shower and before bed. Tired feet love nothing more than a gentle massage to get the circulation flowing and to smooth out any tensions, treat them poor feet, and appreciate them.
