How to (actually) walk in the shoes you love

There's nothing more depressing than a beautiful girl wearing beautiful shoes but instead of strutting in them, she's...clomping.

Don't let this be your fate! Practice practice practice walking in heels before you unleash them upon the world. Here's the video that made it possible for me to transition from never being comfortable in my heels to doing DA SHUFFLE DANCE in 6 inch platforms :D

(sorry about the grainy quality)
So here's the recap:
  1. Start small and practice -- don't jump into a sky-high stiletto and expect to perform perfectly right away
  2. Stand straight!!! Didn't your mom every tell you to watch your posture? It's because she knew that one day, you'd be trynna walk in heels.
  3. Engage yo abs -- this is key
  4. RELAX your hips -- don't fight the hip swaying... embrace it.
  5. Relax your knees
  6. Control your ankles
And practice practice practice!

Here's one more video... It's not as good at actually teaching you how to walk in heels, but this girl's shoes are SO HOT. *Louboutin envy*




Happy walking!

XOXO
