Myths About Sexy High Heels

Some women love them, others hate them. Heels visually lengthen and slim your legs, they’re very sexy and boost your confidence. If you’re just starting with heels, you may worry whether you’ll even be able to stay upright in them. But there’s no need to be afraid — with a bit of practice, anyone can learn to walk in heels. Don’t believe all the myths you’ve probably heard about them. I’ll show you which shoes are best for beginners and how to learn to walk in them.

Why are heels so desirable?

Let’s not kid ourselves — especially for those whom nature didn’t bless with impressive height, heels can be a big help. Men also tend to prefer them, as they enjoy looking at a woman walking in heels. Not only does this footwear force you to stand up straight, but it also makes your hips sway slightly while walking — something most representatives of the opposite sex appreciate.

Should you be afraid of heels?

Every beginning is difficult, but with a bit of practice you’ll manage just fine. For your first pair, choose shoes that are comfortable and preferably firm, so your foot doesn’t wobble inside. In my opinion, the ideal heel height for beginners is around five to eight centimetres — lower heels don’t lengthen the legs as effectively, and walking in them is relatively easy. Once you’ve chosen your shoes, all that’s left is to put them on and find as large a space as possible with a good surface (few uneven areas, preferably grippy). Stand up straight, pull in your stomach, lower your shoulder blades, keep your head up, try to lift your body weight upwards as much as possible — and walk, walk, walk. While walking, don’t try to cross your legs like models do. You can walk as if along a line or keep your feet slightly apart from an imaginary straight line, but don’t place them too far apart and take small steps. Expect your feet to hurt for the first few days — the pain will fade later.

What about the myths?

There are many prejudices about the harmfulness of heels, but most of them aren’t true. They mainly concern health risks. Some people say heels ruin your feet, but that’s not entirely accurate. This applies mainly to extremely high heels, over ten centimetres. If you wear them occasionally for an event, this danger doesn’t really apply. On the contrary, doctors recommend shoes with a heel of around four centimetres for everyday wear, as completely flat soles aren’t ideal either. The conclusion is that you don’t need to fear reasonably high heels — you can wear them without worry.
