High heels have defined fashion for many decades now. Don’t we just love the oozing confidence and sex appeal that high heels give us? Whether they are stilettos, wedge heels, platforms or peep toes, ladies won’t step out without their tootsies riding high. Take care of a few things whilst wearing your leggy companions so that you can enjoy them to the fullest.
1. Notch up your heels gradually
You can’t wake up one fine day and decide that you want to flaunt pencil heels. If you do this, your feet will start aching instantly. Start practicing your walk with kitten heels or platforms first. Gradually increase the height of your heels and once you’re a master of broad based heels, narrow it down to pencil heels. You’ll finally get that smart, suave and be able to walk in those high heels that you’ve always desired.
2. Keep yourself upright
Get yourself to realize that you’re not wearing sneakers or flats, ladies. When you wear heals, you have to stand straight and carry yourself in the correct posture for two important reasons. First, if you slouch when you wear heels, however pretty they are, no one will notice and it looks gross. It’s such a turn off to see a lovely lady with sexy heels slouching. And secondly, you’ll start getting aches and pains all over your back and thighs. Balance the weight of your body on both your legs so that you don’t end up plastering your leg within a month’s time.
3. Get the perfect arch
Now, this is one thing all you fashionista ladies out there must know about your lovely high heels. Whilst shopping, we all seem to get drawn by how they look, instead of how comfortable they are. You have to make sure that your foot slides perfectly into the arch and the elevation of the heel. Even if the heel is high, we suggest that you pick a stiletto with a gradual arch instead of a severe one. It’s one thing to see innovative, zany high heels on the ramp, and a completely different thing to wear them in everyday life.
4. Use foot cushions
Haven’t you always wondered about the crazy number of foot accessories available in the market? Once you start wearing high heels, you’ll understand what they are meant for. It’s very simple. When you walk in your high heels, you put all the weight of your body on the ball of your foot. And if you’ve worn them continuously for a few hours, you’ll notice that the soles and balls of your feet will start aching first. Pick a pair of foot cushions and slip them under your heels to see the difference. It’ll feel very soft and cushiony, driving all your high heel blues away.
5. Test your heels
There is a reason why the cash-back policy exists in supermarkets, ladies. If you’ve packed up your new high heels in a lovely box and are planning to open them directly on the day of the party, you’re mistaken. It’s one thing to try them out at the shop and it’s another to wear them outside. Do you know what the best thing to do is? Wear the heels in the house for a few hours every now and then before the big day. You need to get comfortable with them and find out where your heels are hurting. And start testing them from day one after the purchase so you can exchange or return them if necessary.
6. Think of your body type
You thought high heels could make just about anyone glamorous as hell? Well, we think you’re sort of right at that one but you still need to keep your body type in mind. If you’re thinking of strappy sandals, make sure you have nice and sultry leggies. If you’re thinking peep-toed, an average height will be okay. And pumps have the brilliant ability to suit just about everyone. After all, you want the high heels to accentuate your personality, right?
7. Add grips to your heels
Can you imagine what would happen if you stepped in a pool of water with your high heels? You could slip and hurt yourself very badly. High heels in any case are notorious for the lack of grip they give. We suggest you purchase grip pads from the market and just stick them on the soles of your high heels. This won’t let you slip anywhere, whether it’s slippery marble, a thick carpet or even wood flooring.
So you see ladies, there are a lot of things to know about high heels. Now you understand why high heels are not everyone’s cup of tea, right?
