“A good pair of shoes will take you to your happy place” – surely many fashionable ladies “memorize” this famous quote of fashion.
Indeed, nothing can make a woman more elegant and attractive than a pair of high heels. They make your legs look longer, and your body more agile and graceful.
However, how to choose a favorite pair of high heels that still brings a comfortable feeling is always a difficult question for ladies. The following tips will help you solve this problem easily.
1. Determine the appropriate size and height
Normally, your two feet will not have the same size. To find out the size of your feet, you just need to go to any shoe store and find a perfect size by trying on shoes. You must wear shoes that fit your feet. When buying, remember to try on multiple pairs in the store.
Another way to try on high heels is to put them on, stand straight with your knees and shift your weight to your toes; then lift yourself so that the heel is about 2.5 cm off the ground. If you can’t do this, it means the shoes are too high for you and you should choose another pair that suits you better.
2. Choose the right shoe fitting moment
When you intend to buy shoes, the appropriate time will be in the evening (from 5 – 7pm), because at that time, our feet can be slightly larger. Try on shoes after walking around the stores for a while, and you will notice a noticeable change in the size of your feet.
3. Pay attention to the material
If you want to truly feel comfortable and confident in every step, it is necessary to check the material of high heels. Leather or satin are the most common materials for shoes, besides look for shoes with a rubber layer on the heel or a soft cushion inside the arch of the foot – this will help prevent slipping and make it easier for you to walk.
4. Choose shoes that fit your feet
Before choosing the style of high heels, you should consider what type of feet you have: short feet, wide feet, or large instep. You should choose shoes that have a ratio opposite to your feet and proportional to your body. For example, with short feet, you should choose pointed shoes to create a taller feel, and so with wide feet, you should choose shoes with a round toe because they can also make your feet look smaller.
If you have a “plump” figure, you should choose shoes with wedge soles or thick soles to create a harmonious feeling for the overall appearance. Conversely, petite girls should choose thin strap sandals or small soled shoes to highlight their figure.
5. Learn how to walk in high heels properly
With any style, remember that the most correct way to walk in high heels is not to raise your feet too high but just slightly (about 3 – 5 cm) above the ground/floor. To have a beautiful walking posture like a model, fashion experts advise you to walk with both feet on the same straight line. This walking posture will make you look very graceful.

But avoid crossing your feet too much because it will make your walking posture “deformed” and become a laughingstock in the eyes of everyone. When walking on soft or slippery ground, take slow and gentle steps to avoid losing balance and falling.
