I have a couple stilettos but if I even try to walk in them I fall ;( do you have any good tips? I really really love the shoes here but I could never walk in them!!
HELP!
Re: These shoes are made for walking...
I don't think stilettos are made for walking....just wear them when you don't have to walk much.
Re: These shoes are made for walking...
that means I would have to stay inside to wear them..

Ask Victoria Beckham.

How high are these stilettos?
I think practice makes a big difference. I don't do straight stilettos b/c they just hurt my feet too much. But I do have heels that're between 4-5 inches with platforms and I can walk in those without issues. Years ago I started off with 2-3 inch heels and worked my way up. I also used to wear them around the house just to practice walking. But yea.....like hareem mentioned, those heels aren't really meant for all-day-walking (at least I couldn't do it). Plus it's really bad for your back to wear them on a regular basis.

:k:
platforms are the key to wearing high heels- they help so much!
try some shoes with a small platform at the front kakee
Re: These shoes are made for walking…
is this a platform shoes..?
I saw these in harajyuku (fashion district in tokyo) and they were so cheap @_@ but I didn’t want to regret it later so I just took a picture of it instead.

Stiletto’s definitely give the illustion of longer, leaner legs.. but they’re not practical AT ALL. I think what we normal people have to remember is that celebs don’t walk blocks and blocks in their stilettos. They literally go from car to store/hotel/restaurant and back so they’re not on their feet for hours.
That being said there are some people who have a high pitch in their feet and they physically cannot wear flats, they always have to wear heels. Also, platforms are definitely comfier to wear (VB’s shoes in that pic are platforms - they’re hidden but its there) but non-platforms are coming back in style now. One thing that’s helped me is practicing walking and putting these Foot Petals Killer Kushionz in my heels. They shift the weight back on the heel vs making my feet slide forward Shoe Insoles - Killer Kushionz | Foot Petals Shoe Cushions FP051
Re: These shoes are made for walking...
Platforms help a lot, they can look a bit trashy if you're not careful so look into shoes that have hidden platforms. Also, I find if the shoes have straps they're easier to walk in as the straps offer more support. Generally the quality of the shoe really helps when it comes to comfort....I have a pair from Kurt Geiger, they're about 5 inches with no platform whatsoever and they're so comfortable I could easily run in them.
Re: These shoes are made for walking...
I wear wedges for now but because I buy it in Japan/Korea the heels (i'm calling it that) are massive because of their height complex (my assumption). So I look like a giant!
I'll definitely buy something similar to those killer kushionz
and I do look for shoes with straps but they often don't have it or I don't like the style. I'm generally okay with anything
I think the main problem with my shoes is that I don't walk properly. I get blisters so easily and the back of my ankles are scarred! you can even tell which shoes I was wearing because I have different scars for each :(
Re: These shoes are made for walking...
I think high heels and platforms are more about sexy look and mid-heel shoes are classy but some high heel court shoes can be classy as well.
Re: These shoes are made for walking...
well my problem isn't my taste in shoes but wearing them...
I have a pair of shoes that are a size bigger than my actual feet and I could show you but it looks really awkward because you can see the gap -.-"
Re: These shoes are made for walking…
hehe yeah those are extreme platforms! but like syraa said- go for a hidden platform- and also a mini platform- you don’t need much to gain comfort- the platform sort of levels out the angle of the foot so your arch isn’t as stretched and not as much pressure is put on the balls of your feet as it would be without any platform
if you google “evening shoes with mini platform” and “hidden platform shoes” you can see different examples

Maybe you should go for smaller shoes? Bigger shoes won't stabilize your feet and you'll wobble around.
Re: These shoes are made for walking...
I am a big fan of high heels! I usually have between 5inches or a lil more high.. Some kill me while others are so easy to walk in. You should start first with not so high ones and then move up. Try the block heels first coz they feel more stable and its easier to balance yourself on them. Happy walking ;)

I agree really high stilettos are not for walking, for a long period of time that is. If you have a look at Victoria Beckhams shoes the front part of them are really chunky - that's the trick! Shoes like that enable you to walk easily, I mostly buy shoes like that... I love my heals! My aim in life is to buy a couple of pairs of Louboutins lol!
