Walking in Heels

One of our friends, Miss Nikea, she’s the greatest lil person in the world, love her to death. Lately She’s been wearing high-heeled shoes, and it’s the funniest thing because she doesn’t know how to walk in them! She’ll be the first to admit that she doesn’t. Fortunately for Nikea she isn’t alone. As the late great Micheal Jackson would say. There are so many women out here wearing the cutest, illest shoes and they are killing them (not the good killing), with a terrible strut. Ladies, ladies, ladies… before you can get your shoe game together you must get your walk RIGHT. Don’t get caught out there doing the “ohhh my feet hurt” walk and you just put the shoes on. Now I know some shoes are just not made for walking, sitting only boo! But the ones that are, need to be walked in with sexiness and care (we dont want to disrespect the shoe, right?) and here’s a few tips on how.

First, while planning your outfit consider the event your going to! While we all like to strut our thing in a great shoe….. a platform- stiletto isn’t gonna work for say….. the mall. And if you bought an amazing new shoe that your dying to show off, think about wearing them around the house a few times to “break them in” before you run the risk of having the “ohhh my feet hurt dance” and completely runing your sexy! So consider your shoe type, low heel, medium heel, high heel, or extra high heels (fav).

The slimmer your outfit (skinny jeans) the more elongated your leg needs to look so consider a high – extra high heel. Second consider the heel type, some are chunky, skinnyand some are wedge. With long summer dresses, wedges are easiest to walk in, and half the time no one sees the whole shoe anyway!

When it comes to mini dresses…….. less is sometimes more! Yes it’s true, a super high stiletto will make your legs look long and amazing in that mini dress but use caution and taste, to keep your CLASS.

Lastly and most importantly posture. THE HEIGHT OF YOUR HEEL WILL AFFECT YOUR POSTURE!!!! LOL. 4 inches and up are not for rookies loves! There is nothing worse then seeing a beautiful woman in a stunning outfit but no one notices her awesomeness because they’re too busy noting that she cant walkin those high heels!

Posture is everything and Confidence and grace = Great Posture. If you like to slouch… take em OFF! Heels especially high ones are only reserved for ladies with confidence and grace, when you have confidence you walk tall, look forward, and you strut your stuff like “Na What!”
