How to Walk Comfortably in Heels

High heels can elevate any outfit but are often uncomfortable. To avoid issues, ensure you buy heels you can walk in—never purchase shoes you "hope to manage," especially online, where fit is uncertain. Heels must be your perfect size, with proper length, width, and secure straps; toes sticking out is a fashion faux pas. Practice walking in them beforehand, taking short, balanced steps to get comfortable. Avoid wearing heels on busy or stressful days when you’ll be walking a lot; they’re best for events where you’ll mostly sit. If a pair hurts after wearing them, even if they initially seemed fine, don’t wear them again. Prioritize comfort and fit to make heels a stylish yet manageable choice.
