Sorry to bump this thread (if that's what you call it) but I wanted to ask nother question (as you were all so helpful). My mother reckons at almost 42, I am too old to be learning how to walk in heels as she could when she was very young. I just wondered if this could be true? I don't see why as in my opinion I am not exactly past it.

Pft! No such thing. All it takes is practice, practice, practice. Age has no bearing on the ability to learn new things of any sort. Good luck!

Thank's for the tips. I seem better with thicker heels, or even thin heels that have a platform sole. Guess it's gonna have to be a lot of practice. If I break my ankle I will let you know how not to wear them lol.

The first thing that came to mind is to wear a heel with a platform sole. It helps to balance you out a bit. Another option is to wear a show with a wedge heel. Most that I see and the few pairs I own, also have a platform sole. I find those to be the most comfortable.

For me, I actually went from wearing a flat most of the time (nothing more than 1/2" heel) to a 2" heel. Now I have a few pairs that have 4" heels.

The make of the shoe for me also matters. I have found Coach to be the most comfortable as well as Enzo Angiolini. Michael Kors are very pretty, but in terms of comfort, if you have to do any walking, don't go with them (Only one pair of his that I own are comfortable...they are a casual wedge open toe shoe. I have two other pairs for work and they sit in the shoe box as there is no way I can wear them unless I sit the entire day, which is not something I can do as a manager for a bank). As I said, as long as you can sit the entire day, you are set, otherwise, forget about them.

As someone else said, just practice. Walk on hard surfaces. Walking on carpet and walking on a hard floor in heels are two totally different animals. It is far easier to walk in heels on carpet than a hard floor. So, if your home is carpeted, walk in the kitchen.

Sorry for rambling. I had to take some pain medication and it tends to make me very talkative (or in this case, typative ....).

Be sure the soles aren't slippery. It's hard to keep your balance when you're sliding uncontrollably across the slick floor.

Reminds me of when I was little. Whenever my parents bought me a new pair of shoes that had a hard sole, she would take them outside to the pavement and scratch up the bottoms of the shoes so when I'd walk, I wouldn't slide around.....I actually will do that now when I buy a new pair of shoes with hard soles. It does work!

I thought I would share a tidbit from a recent pair of shoes I bought. I got a pair from Jessica Simpson's new line a couple of weeks ago. I don't like her that much but they were just so damn cute! Anyway, I had to scuff up the sole a bit, but there's a slight platform under the toes, and extra padding uder the ball of your foot. Possibly the most comfortable heels I have ever worn! And these are some pretty high ones!
Just thought if you were getting used to heels, they would probably be worth a try, I wore them all day without a bit of uncomfortableness.

High heels are so sexy they should be confortable. They make your legs look good, they make your ass look good... the only think you can do it practice, like most things, if you practice enough you will master it.

nods ... lots of great advice here .. another tip is to use sandpaper to get the bottom of the shoes kinda rough ... so they dont slip as easy. Its also maybe easier to learn to walk in boots .. then move to stiletto heels

I'm always amazed at how strong the heels are .. like why dont they break ?? LoL
