How to get used to walking in high heels?


Every day you focus on comfort and wear flat shoes, but there is an occasion approaching when you cannot do without stilettos, wedges or heels? You know that walking in high shoes is not your forte - you wobble, your legs hurt and instead of thinking about the event, you only dream of changing into more comfortable shoes? Then read our guide in which we tell you how to get used to wearing high heels!

Step one – choose comfortable high heels

High heels will certainly look beautiful, but they may not be the best choice if you have no experience in wearing heels. Instead of patent and unstable models, choose the most comfortable high-heeled shoes. We recommend choosing a variant that will be comfortable for you - both in terms of height, material and style. The best decision will be pumps made of grain leather. It adapts perfectly to your foot, which ensures comfort while wearing it. They will be perfect for starters Espinto pumps, width H, black. However, if you don't like their aesthetics and prefer a more modern model, you may like them Espinto gold pumps 889 with a yellow high heel, and if the occasion you are preparing for is your wedding - they will be perfect Espinto pearl pumps on a white stiletto.

Step two – gradually increase the heel height

Don't go for a very high and thin stiletto. Such a heel can quickly discourage you because you won't feel confident and stable on it. Instead, choose a slightly lower option with a suitably thick heel, and then gradually increase it. They will be the first to pass the exam, e.g. Goodin pumps with a decorative red strap, which have a 4 cm block heel. Once you get used to walking in them, choose higher ones, e.g. 8 cm Seastar houndstooth pumps or elegant black VINCEZA pumps with an additional strap that stabilizes the ankle and keeps the shoe firmly on the leg. Once you have mastered the art of walking in high heels, subsequent models can be stilettos - e.g. navy blue suede stiletto pumps.

Step three – practice makes perfect

If you want to get used to wearing high heels because an important occasion is approaching, don't leave learning how to walk until later. Choose comfortable shoes and start walking around the house in them. At first, a few dozen minutes, and over time, increase the time and distance covered. We recommend going for a walk around the estate or wearing high heels to work or meeting friends. The more often you wear them, the greater the chance that wearing them will no longer be problematic and troublesome for you. As we mentioned earlier, increase the heel height gradually. And when the event you are preparing for comes - test the shoes you want to wear. If you're going to dance all night long in them or travel long distances, you need to be sure that they will pass the test.

Step four – work on your posture

Practicing walking in heels is extremely useful, but you must remember one piece of advice - it is extremely important to maintain the correct body posture. Don't you slouch every day? Great! Unfortunately, women who wear higher heels often forget about correct posture and instinctively lean forward to maintain balance. This not only looks bad, but also causes your spine to take an unnatural position and places incorrect load on your joints. So, when you start learning to walk in heels, remember to pull your shoulder blades together, lift your head up, tighten your abdominal muscles and keep your spine straight. Over time, you will become accustomed to maintaining this posture!

Step five – don't get discouraged!

Learning to walk in heels may discourage you - especially if you have never worn high shoes before. This foot position causes tension in the calf and forces you to maintain balance. But remember that practice makes perfect. If you don't get discouraged, you will get used to this attitude and over time it will become neutral for you. The more training you do, the greater the chance that walking in heels will become a habit for you. Perhaps in a few weeks you will be wearing high heels like a Hollywood star? Good luck!
