If you struggle to feel comfortable and wear high heels, especially for extended periods of time, it can often feel like a really well kept secret. Fortunately, there are a few tips you can follow to feel more secure while wearing heels.
Walk heel to toe — While you might have heard the opposite, You’ll have a lot more success walking in your party heels by planting your heel firmly on the ground, and allowing your toes to follow. The only exception to this rule is when you’re on stairs, when you want to shift your weight onto your toes to get more stability.
Shorten your stride — A key tactic to wearing evening heels and feeling comfortable for hours at a time is to take shorter steps when you walk. Try leaning back slightly and not striding as far with each step.
Take your time — Hand in hand with taking shorter strides while wearing fancy high heels is to not rush yourself as you move. It looks more elegant, and allows you to be deliberate and feel secure in your movements.
Make sure your shoes fit — A lot of pain and discomfort you may associate with wearing heels can actually come down to not having the right fit for your shoes in the first place. As a general rule, your toes should be close to the end of the shoe, with just enough room to wiggle around and slide slightly forward, but not so much room that you feel unstable or that your toes might slide off the front edge of the shoe. Still struggling? Wittner’s Find Your Fit guide uses just three easy steps to help you get the exact measurement you need for party heels that fit like a glove.
