“A girl instantly drops a few notches in attractiveness if she can’t walk in heels.” A statement the men in my life have all agreed upon and offered up. It hangs in the back of my mind and haunts me…pressure much! As if it wasn’t hard enough to wear these stilts all day and exude effortless chicness!

Alas, I can see their point. All it takes is one woman clunking down the sidewalk whom you hear long before you see. Or a wobbly femme fatal tip-toeing through the restaurant with an intense scowling look of concentration. Yeah, yeah- I see what they mean…

Okay, so how do you walk in heels? There is a technique to apply and transform the way you feel and move in heels. Basically, it comes down to initial foot placement. You want to place the HEEL down first and then roll forward onto the ball and then toes of your foot.

Once you have wrapped your head around that (more easily said than done!) you will form a mindless habit, and you are ready for some finishing touches like head placement, hip alignment and what to do with your arms. Anastassia Khozissova offers pro tips on Modelinia, check out her video here.
