Walking in high heels is not really an everyday thing especially if you are not working in a fashion industry. Thus, if you want to learn how to strut your stuff in heels, better start with taking small, slow steps and making sure not to bend your knees more than you normally would.

Just stick with small steps which will eventually make you walk more naturally and make you feel comfortable.

3. Get your posture right.

Posture is important when in high heels. If you’re slouching and shuffling as you walk, wearing high heels will be nonsense. But don’t you worry because there are a number of ways on how you can improve your posture while wearing high heels. You can imagine that there is a piece of invisible string holding your head upright. Just make sure that your head is in line with your spine and your chin should be parallel with the floor. Avoid looking down when walking in high heels. Remember to put your shoulders back and down and keep your arms relaxed at your sides. Swing your arms slightly as you walk for balance. Keep your abdominal muscles engaged, sucking your belly button towards your spine. And then, bend your knees slightly and they should never lock when walking in heels.
