How To Walk In High Heels

Angela Stone • Jul 16, 2015

You may find yourself with a client who has never worn heels in their life, and it can seem very daunting to them! But here’s the thing, heels do not need to be high to be considered fashionable. Here is some advice from us to you, to help your clients, or even yourself!

1. Step with your heel down first, then let the sole follow quickly and smoothly.

2. Walk with your toes pointing straight ahead or as close to straight ahead as possible.

3. Swing your arms as you walk for balance.

4. Keep your legs straight, close and parallel.

5. Take smooth, even steps. Consider shortening your stride a bit.

6. Avoid walking on ice, mud, grass, sand, and gravel surfaces, where you can slip or sink. When in doubt, take off your heels and carry them across such questionable surfaces in your bare feet.

Styleyou’s Top Tips:

When climbing stairs, make sure both your sole and heel land together firmly and simultaneously on each step. When descending stairs, only the sole of the shoe needs to be planted on each step.

While high heels can make your legs look better and longer, they can also wreak havoc on your feet, especially when worn regularly over long periods of time.

Avoid driving in heels. You don’t have quite as much control over the car, and you can damage the back of your shoe. Keep a pair of flats in the your car, or consider driving barefoot.

Hopefully this post will be a great reference for you and your clients for years to come! Remember, learning to walk in high heels is mostly a matter of practice!

Until next week fashionistas Xx

May Newsletter 2023 Hi friends! Is your winter wardrobe in check? One thing people often forget to pay attention to is accessories, but this is such a fun way of dressing for the colder weather. These are the Winter Accessory Trends you should be aware of: Big scarves are in – and I mean big! Wrap it around your neck a bunch of times, or wear it like a shawl for a chic look. You’ll be cosier than ever! If you already have an oversized handbag, you’re in luck – this trend will be everywhere this winter. I love a coloured bag for a statement, and since red is hot right now, a large red bag is going to look extra chic. Own a pair of heeled boots? Time to bring those babies out. This season a stiletto heel is favoured over a chunky heel, but both are strong options and will keep your feet cozy. Love fashion and want to learn more? Join me on my next Fashion Stylist Course . It’s a fun, 2-day event with like-minded women that will renew your confidence in yourself and teach you the fashion fundamentals. Secure your spot here .
