High heels can be a woman's best friends, helping her look taller, leaner and safer. In any case, walking with high heels can be a little tricky, especially if you're not used to it. But do not worry, learning to walk without fear in high heels only requires a little practice. Follow these tips and in no time you'll be strutting with 5-inch heels like a catwalk model!

Improve your technique

Take small steps. Walking with high heels is not like when you learned to walk at a young age, so you

will have to do a few things that may seem counter-logical: Take small, slow steps, making sure you do not bend your knees any more than you normally would. You will notice that high heels tend to shorten your stride. The higher the heel, the shorter the stride. Do not try to fight this by taking bigger steps, continue with the small and delicate ones that will make your walk seem more natural and will help you to feel more comfortable.

2 Walk from heel to tip. The goal is to walk as normal as possible is your high heels. When you walk in flat shoes, you do not walk with the toes or put your whole foot at once, right? So, do not do it with heels either. Put your heel first on the floor, followed gently by your fingers. Then, once your weight is on the pads of your feet, slide your weight forward as if you are walking on tiptoe, and take the next step.

3 Improve your posture. Walking well with high heels depends on maintaining a good posture. If you stoop or drag your feet while walking, the first thing you do is thwart the purpose of walking in high heels, and the goal is to look comfortable and safe! To achieve the perfect posture:

Imagine an invisible string keeping your head straight. Your head should be aligned with your spine and your chin parallel to the ground. Avoid looking down when walking in high heels!
Pull shoulders back and down and keep arms relaxed at sides. Gently wiggle your arms as you walk for balance.

Keep your abdominal muscles tight, bringing your belly button "to the spine". This will help you stay

upright and look smarter.

Bend your knees slightly, never stay straight when you walk in high heels. Keep your legs together while you walk and your feet straight.

4 Imagine walking on an invisible line. The catwalk models usually cross one foot just in front of the other to wiggle the hip further. Many women wear high heels to be sexy, so it may be good to add a little wiggle to your walking. The best way to wiggle while wearing high heels is to make it look like you walk on an imaginary straight line or a "tightrope."

One foot should go directly in front of the other, with the points pointing to the front. This way of walking may require more practice to perfect it, but the results are worth it.

Check out some videos of catwalk models to see how the pros are parading, and then try to imitate it.

Keep in mind that the catwalk models tend to over-exaggerate your walking, so you'll want to soften it a bit for your day-to-day life!

5 Practice putting your heels at home. Wear your heels all day at home before going outside. This will not only allow you to get used to them, but will also slightly wear the sole so they do not slip so much.

Make sure you practice all the things you normally do when walking, such as: walking, stopping, turning and turning.

6 Soften your high heels. If you do not soften your shoes before putting them on the first time, you will get blisters. Softening your shoes is important as it removes stiffness and helps them conform to the shape of your feet. Bringing them home should be enough to soften them, but you can also try:

Exposing your shoes to different surfaces: You'll probably walk at some point through tiled floors, rugs and slippery wooden floors while wearing heels, so try to perfect them all.

Dancing: If you plan to wear heels to a disco or party where you know you want to dance, then dance at your own pace in the privacy of your home until you find yourself comfortable dancing with your heels.

Down stairs. It is a skill that you definitely have to master, and stairs are the places of greatest mishap

when wearing heels. Place your entire foot on each step while lowering, but support only the toe on each step when you climb. Just in case, grab the handrail.

7 Wear your heels to get out. Walking with heels indoors is very different from walking with them down the street. Without the soft surface of the carpets or floor, even the interior surfaces like linoleum or wood, walking with heels can be ten times more difficult.

Even the smallest damage to the asphalt or scratches on the pavement can present difficulties, so try to walk from top to bottom, outside your house a few times, taking special care to avoid uneven surfaces.

A good place to practice after you have become accustomed to your home is the supermarket. Use the

car to balance yourself!

8 Practice staying still with heels. Not only will you need to learn how to walk with heels, but you also need to know how to be quiet with them. It may seem easy, but many women do not know what to do with their feet when they pose for photographs or stand talking during an event. This is where having comfortable shoes is very important, as you will not want to spend the uncomfortable afternoon changing the weight from one foot to another.

To keep you properly in heels, keep your heel on one foot by touching the middle of the other, creating a small angle.

Support the weight on the toes that you place behind, and when you feel tired, change the postures of the feet so that the weight falls to the opposite.
