My First Pair of High Heels


Question Posted Thursday July 3 2014, 4:51 pm

Hi! :) I feel like I am ready for my very first pair of sexy high heeled shoes, but I am also afraid. You hear stories about people falling off their shoes and breaking their ankles or something like that? Can people who have worn them before please tell me everything I need to know about wearing heels before I buy the wrong kind or make some other mistake? Please?

Thank you!

Hi! I'm a small teen so I still don't wear high heels. You don't have to wear sexy high heels. Just wear normal shoes and it'll be comfortable. Don't try to show off your friends of your sexy high heels. You'll end up falling facedown!

For your first question, you're right. My sister has once fell facedown when running with high heels. She stayed at hospital for two weeks and did a surgery.

But if this is an emergency high heels journey, it doesn't mean you mustn't wear high heels, just buy some short onces which fit tightly. You should walk carefully too.

Anyway, you have freedom of whether to wear high heels or not. Just remember to walk carefully and slowly.

Hope this helps! Thanks! Bye1

If I were you I would start with some high heel wedges. Wedges are more comfortable and easier to walk in than a thin heel. After you get used to the wedges then you could try some different styles of high heels. Cage sandals are very popular right now and they are super sexy in a wedge! Go to the shoe store and try on some different styles, See which ones you are more comfortable in! Whatever you decide don't stress, have fun with it! Your first high heels are a right of passage! Good luck!

Walking in high heels is a skill that one has to learn if you want to wear them. If going for the stilletto type where the support for the back of foot is on a surface the size of a dime or less, then thats not much to rely on and some women, like myself never learn how to walk on it without tottering like a drunk. This unstabilty combined perhaps with weak ankles and lower calf muscles could potentionally cause a wrenched or twisted ankle. However if you choose heels with a larger base and/or change in height, they will be better for you as far as walking goes.

Being that I am short to begin with, when the styles were in or offered, I chose shoes that had a bit of a platform already for the front part of the shoe, like an inch or two and then two more inches to the heel so that where my heel rested was actually 3 to 4 inches above the ground but the slope I had was not as pronounced so i didn't get sore feet. I could wear mine almost all day. I still prefer low heel pumps and depending on style, if you find you can't handle high heels, then stylish pumps are cute and sexy too.

The whole idea behind heels being sexy is that it visually somehow elongates your leg, making it appear your have longer legs and some men are attracted to legs as their particular sexual turn on whereas others look first at butts or boobs.
I know many many who weren't wanting heels to look sexy for the guys but simply in the business world, because it looks more clean and professional to be wearing pumps or dressy shoes of some sort without stilletto heels even if wearing pants.

I used to see a chiropracter. Thats where I learned that high heels are bad for your lower back. What happens it that the lower back has to compensate for your being tilted forward now and if thats worn majority of the time it can lead to back problems. Its worse if the female wearing heels is at an age where her body frame hasn't reached its mature adult size. We tend to still grow into our early twenties. Any heels before that could encourage your back to finish growing in an abnormal position and cause back problems later that a doctor may not be able to fix.

I like what the other advicegiver suggested. If you are going to experiment first before deciding on what you'll be sticking with, trying on the 2nd hand store finds is a better way to learn. Choose only ones that are new enough to not have the heels worn yet and clean the shoes.

Congrats on new heels!!
Ouch! Yes,they hurt!! So here are some ideas!!

Heels come in different heights so try differents heels with different heights to them,walk around with them.You may want to wear pantyhose for added support.
If you are unsure about buying,go to a thrifstore and try on some shoes! Slightly used shoes have already been broken in and may be more comfortable,make sure of course you wipe the soles clean!!
Also,if make sure you break into them so your shoes can feel more comfy!

Good luck!!!
