I was watching a video where Tyra Banks was giving tips on how to wear those stilettos comfortably and wanted to share it with you girls.
1. Get stilettos with PLATFORMS!

I knew about this one already, I think most people do too. Basically you should get a pair with at least 1" platform. Like the one on the left. If you saw a pair of stilettos that were 5" and it had 1.5" of platform that means the heel is only 3.5". So meaning you are only walking in a 3.5" stiletto, sounds better right? For extra comfort you could put those cushion for the ball of foot but it wouldn't look very nice if it was a pair of sandals.
2. Scratch the bottom of your shoes.
Sometimes when you buy a new pair of stilettos is always slippery because the bottom of the shoe is smooth it doesn't have those lines for grip. But you have to wear them out to get grip on the bottom and when you first wear them you would walk funny because you're trying not to slip right? Get a pair of scissors, keeping them closed and scratch the bottom of those shoes.
3. Put hairspray inside your shoes
Your stilettos is slippery inside or a little too big for you so you go buy those gel cushion and those heel shields to stop your foot from losing the shoe or slipping. (The most embarassing thing is when your shoes slips off and you buckle while you walk in a busy street!) But sometimes, you're too busy or too lazy to go to the shops just to buy those gel slip-ins for your shoes so another solution is use HAIRSPRAY! (If you don't have that either then maybe you need to make an effort and go to the shops and get them lol.) Spray the inside of your shoes, let it dry and slip your foot in!
4. Practice walking in heels
You love those 5" stilettos but you just can't walk in them what can you do? Start from the bottom and work your way up! If you've never walked in heels before start with 1", just practice and work your way up. Always keep your body and legs straight, it makes your posture look more attractive. If you keep your legs straight, your butt will be moving like a see-saw which is what you want! SEXYYY!!
Hey Cilia
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip especially hairspray :)
Do you have any tip with when wearing tights as it's super slippery =/
Hey Melyssa!! Thanks for reading my blog.
ReplyDeleteI suggest a few ways.
1. Try that hairspray i mentioned.
2. Put those gel slip ins for the ball of foot. Gel will give it a grip, so ur foot will sit on that gel. I wouldnt recommend shoe insoles, because I did that before when I was wearing tights and I slipped! LOL
3. Wear socks inside the tights. If you do that it will fill up the shoe so your feet won't move about. Also gives u extra cushion.
4. Put baby powder on your feet/tights. when your feet sweat u will slip but that will stop it from slipping.
Hope that helps...if not sorry ^.^" xxx
Cooool I will definitely try thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI went to ALDO yesterday and they sell those insoles where the whole thing sticks inside the shoe which is quite cool.
