Getting into high heels for the first time and looking the part isn't something that can come easily to most women. If the first time you put them on is an evening you expect to look good sashaying forth fashionably on the dance floor at an office party, you could find yourself in a bit of a spot trying for success pulling it off like an old hand (an old foot?). But heels don't need to be such a challenge; if you know how to go about them.
For your first time in heels, you need to plan ahead for the event and know what to shop for. Your wobbly sense of balance on heels for the first time is best helped by shoes that offer you plenty of ankle support. The ankles are usually the wobbliest part of the balance when they are perched high up on heels. What you need is a pair of shoes that gives you a pretty well-wrapped ankle - to offer strength and support when the wobbles seem to get out of control. Lots of strong straps around the ankles should be what you need to look for. While this does protect you in the event, you couldn't possibly want to take a risk trying out your new high-heeled skills for the first time, out on an important date. What you need is to put them on in test drive mode - to rehearse as it were; and the best place to do that would be at the supermarket. You have plenty of shelves and your cart to use as grab handles should your heels try to give way. Starting out on anything, baby steps are what everyone tells you need to take. Baby steps are supposed to help you find your balance before you can actually soar.
It's not infrequently that you see women on the street with high heels shoes on taking this advice rather too literally: you'll see them moving forward in scared little baby steps. The "baby steps"advice is meant for how high the heels should probably be when you first try them on. Once you do have a pair on, you'll need to consider a bolder stride. The more steps you take with your high heels on, the more likely you'll be to trip. Walking in high heels is an act of active faith in yourself; you're supposed to more or less stride. Now when your heels are high, your hips try reflexively to even the balance out, pushing themselves forward. Your whole posture changes in a way you might not even realize; to balance out the way your heels try to take you forward, try consciously changing the way you stand so that you lay yourself back a little bit. And you could do that even as you walk. You could also adopt a slightly wider stance for a little more balance. Your walk needs to be striding and sashaying; that's what brings to life out in you.
For the safest first-time experience with high heel shoes, try to go no higher than 3 1/2 inches; you'll often get the same styles as in is the more vertiginous shoes. If you don't wish to compromise on your health, how about trying a pair that achieve the height you are after through a bit of a platform? I love the 0 Charles David and Daniback Paley wedge heels that are strong, give you the comfort of cork, and depend on the platform style to raise your heel. That's always best for balance for a first-timer. Genuine strappy high heels that keep your ankles braced with beautiful straps for extra safety in a pair of true high heels, you'll find in the 0 Tibi Flavias. They are black, they show off a lot of your ankles and your toes, and the wide ankle straps keep you safe and well-supported. For super-stylish high heels that are cheaper, extremely well-made and and sexier than anything you've seen, try the 5 Report Signature Randolphs. The beautiful leather and the stitching are quite out of this world; and the conical wineglass-like heel has attitude.
Life doesn't get any better when you have ways to ensconce your toes in some truly beautiful leather that has craftsmanship and attitude. And if you can do that without sacrificing on your safety, that's all for the better.
