How to wear heels - 4/4/2005 5:06:00 PM

Status: offline 		Hi I have read a couple of threads on subs and high heels and my question is how do you learn to walk in them? I consider myself somewhat of a tomboy and always before I met my Master I could be found in tennis shoes or low heeled dress shoes. Now Master likes me in skirts, hose and heels and I am getting to like this but when I wear my "skinny" heeled shoes I feel like I am stomping around in them instead of being graceful and still find them uncomfortable. I have a pair that has a good size heel on them but the heel is about 1/2" square and more stable and I am comfortable in those. I want to learn to walk gracefully in my "spiky" heels and with more confident in the "spiky" heels but haven't figured that out, anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for your help..

I remember when Master first bought me 6" heels. I couldn't even stand up in them, let alone walk...lol. I almost wish I had that on film...it was hysterical.


best regards,
fate

It can also be helpful to have a nice strong arm within reasonable distance
There's a reason that most well-dressed ladies are on the arm of a man (especially in bad weather), that arm can be a god-send at times.
If you do happen to slip don't worry about it, it happens to everyone. Just brush it off and make a comment about new shoes, every woman will understand.

Status: offline 		I'd suggest finding a nice tall pair of platform wedge heels(the kind that taper to a point in the heel). you get everything, without having to worry about the heel breaking etc. they're just more stable feeling overall in my opinion

I guess it really depends on how you prefer to walk? alot of people drag their heels, before resting their foot (heel toe?) which makes that awesome click-click sound on wood/tile floor.

but, uhm.. yeah. take small steps, especially when wearing taller heels... and avoid going down stairs in spike heels, or walk down with your feet at a diagonal or something.

Status: offline 		My 13 year old just got her first set of 'heels'...cute 1" sandles. It was quite hilarious watching her stumble around in the store. When we got home I had her put on a pair of socks with the shoes and practice walking. The socks keep the foot from sliding around and up and down the straps....so she can get the feel for the height itself without worrying about slipping in the shoe.

I find platforms harder to balance in....my ankles wobble a bit but that might be from the split ligaments in my ankles.

My fav heels are 4" and have a studded ankle strap.....oh, and the velvet heels with a chain ankle strap and lock.

Status: offline 		hi, cheryl--

i'm a fetishist with mad love for high, high stiletto heels, and i would strongly echo two of the pieces of advice that have been given so far: *practice*, for one, and then also try to take smaller steps when walking in your heels. to work on the latter, it might be helpful to try actually practicing while slightly "hobbled" -- meaning, bind your ankles together with a short length of rope, cord, or chain, allowing yourself some play, but taking care to ensure that the end result will preclude you from taking steps as long as you would normally take in your flat shoes. it will take some getting used to, and may not be for everybody, but the exercise can be very helpful (and for some, it can also be very sexy! i personally find being hobbled to be rather exciting...).

you also might want to try keeping your weight a bit more on your toes than you usually would when not in heels. and finally, depending on where you think you might end up in your heels, you might want to think about practicing on both floors and carpeted areas (they're quite different from each other), and definitely consider practicing on stairs and on slopes if you feel you might encounter either (i've been presented with both unexpectedly, and if you're not ready for them, they are challenging!).

best of luck to you! i hope you continue to enjoy your new altitude!

They sell gel insoles that go under the ball of your foot and makes long days in heels much easier. They also sell grips that you can put on either the heel or the front of your shoes that can keep you from slipping.

Status: offline 		I have the same problem with a wide toe & small heels & have found that wearing slingbacks or any other shoes that have a strap of sorts around the ankle stay on much better than pumps of any sort. My foot tends to slip up & down & I sound like a little girl playing dress up when I walk. I also like boots, they stay on well & you can always wear a pair of socks to keep your foot in place. I hope this helps a little.

Status: offline 		Thank you all for your wonderful support, have been practicing in my heels without master around, and really have to concetrate on the smaller steps and thank you for the tips on making the shoes fit better will have to look for them, didn't realize they made anything to keep the heels from slipping out of the shoe, and yes I have in the past found that wearing strapped shoes is somewhat better which that is what my square heels are they have a strap across the instep and one at the heel so they stay in place better, ok so is it also my imagination, or what, but when I wear heels, which now is all the time, I get the weirdest looks from people esp. women, when I am in public, and even really saw two women gossiping and looking at me and talking behind their hands, type of thing, but could it be how I wear them, the skirts I wear, or what? I have a denuim skirt, and a couple of other skirts that I wear and I really don't see a problem with the skirts so how do I get over being so conscious of this type of thing, I hate to say anything to Master about it, for fear he will think that I just don't want to wear them. I have even boldly just stared right back at these type of people, but gone away mad, like how dare they! HELP! ! ! !

Status: offline 		If you are wearing very high heels or a very short skirt or both then people may stare rudely. It's just because that seems to give the impression of wanting attention from men in a negative way.
I get stares anytime I wear heels because they make me well over six feet tall, but that's just me

You should even walk this way when wearing flatter footwear even running shoes to make it a habit.

i had thought, that, all ladies practice in heels going through childhood wearing mom's heels?
i find this real hard to grasp. it must be an old stereotype huh?
and here i am, a once-practicing sissygurl and luv'd high heels...never had a problem.

how weird this is to me.

i thought all ladies naturally knew how to walk in them, and here i am male and never had troubles...oh wow.

thank you for the insight.

Status: offline 		Considering that my mom is about my height she never did, and still doesn't wear heels so I had nothing to practice on until I started buying my own shoes.

I also have a hard time believing that you went from sneakers to four inch heels with no problem. Although, that may be your natural talent, I don't know.

How can I get them to fit comfortably


cut the heels off. seriously, this slave has never been "comfortable" in heels, but wear them for the "look" and accepts that the only comfort in wearing heels is how fantastic one looks in them!

also, don't forget to practice driving in heels since you'll probably have to do that if you're going to go anywhere.


Or just take them off while driving and drive barefoot



Another thought about the negative attention. Just look in the mirror (or better yet, ask a trusted friend), would you stare if you saw it on another woman? If you would then either don't wear it or be prepared for the stares. If you (or your friend) think it looks fine then just hold you head high and ignore the starers, they're being rude.

Status: offline 		Thanks to you all for your responses I feel better about the whole experience. And no never wore heels as a little girl the only time my stepmom wore them was going out and if we where caught playing in them, Yikes you better run fast. As far as the outfits I wear, the skirts come to just above my knees and the heels aren't all that tall, and yes I think they are just rude, a couple of times I have stared right back at the person being rude and they look the other way first, LOL. Boy I am getting bold. must be the height. I go from a 5'4" person to about a 5'7" person in heels. LOL So perhaps some of it is that just not use to being in heels all the time yet. Also as far as driving in them yea I just kick them off I don't drive in shoes unless I make a mistake of putting on tie shoes and that isn't a prob now anyway so will just kick them off. Again thank you all for your insights on the heels.
