Sorry guys :lol: I know that this one may leave you left out :wink:

Ladies, any tips for "learning" how to walk in high heels? Three that I remember being told/hearing/reading about are:

- swing your leg from your hip
- keep your back straight/head high (a book should be able to balance on your head :shock: :lol: )
- don't stride :roll: (yeah right! Try shouting to your bus driver that you can't stride/run!)

Any other tips?

hey!! I'm interested too. I remember trying to do so and failing horribly as my girl friends laughed their heads off. :cry:

Learn to stand before learning to walk. If your ankles wobble at ALL, get into a lower heel height. You should be just as stable on stilts as off. ;)

Good posture is a must. If you slouch, you'll have a harder time negotiating your balance.

I seem to have a tendency to put the weight on the outside of my feet (being slightly bow-legged), which makes me very wobbly when wearing shoes with slim heels (even not so high heels). Hence my preferance for chunky, stable heels both for dancing and walking.

There's a girl in my scene who always dance salsa in stilettos -- I can only watch her in awe.

Why not? Why should I limit the things that I can experience and fool around with? I refuse to be limited/restricted/constricted by cultural conception of gender.

LOL! Big time!

Sabor, I would at least need to garner enough votes to win the 2004 DF flirt award first. Then they'd need to make their monatery offers. My price might be too high. ;)

And don't tell them I've never worn high heels in my life, or I might not be able to obtain as much as you likely could anyway. Probably not much to learn from me. ;)
