Finding and Wearing Sexy Shoes
Lin Western
It's been said that "diamonds were a girl's best friend." While
that might be true for some, if you ask vertically-challenged
girls you'll find that high heel shoes receive that honour.
Heeled shoes, including phallic stiletto heels, can add more to
a woman's stature and confidence than many carets ever could.
Sexy shoes and comfort You might think those are exclusive of
one another but you'd be wrong. You can find comfortable high
heel shoes if you know what to look for. The first rule of high
heel shoe shopping is "The higher the heel, the more you should
spend." That doesn't mean you can't find a comfortable pair of
sexy heels for under £30, you probably won't find a pair of
stilettos or platform shoes in that range, though.
When you've found a pair of high heel or platform shoes you
really love, wear them around the shoe store for a short while.
If your feet don't hurt after a few minutes, take them home but
keep your store slip.
Wear them around your home for an hour or two. The reason for
the home wear is two-fold; first, you won't hurt yourself as
much should you fall or stumble. Second, you won't wear the
soles or the heels should you need to return them. If you have
blisters or discomfort in any way, you should return them to the
shoe store straight away.
Heel height should be about 5 centimetres. More than that and
you might begin to feel wobbly. You don't want to catch a man's
attention as you stumble and fall. It can not only be
embarrassing, it can be very uncomfortable.
Thickness is another aspect of high heels that can effect
comfort. Thicker is not always better and the trend for thick
heels comes and goes. A stiletto, with a heel about 1 centimetre
in diameter at the point it hits the pavement is always in
vogue. Stilettos, the epitome of sexy shoes, are typically 4 - 6
centimetres tall and look fabulous on a tall woman as much as a
shorter one. The thicker the heel is at the base the more
stability, and in turn comfort, it will provide.
Platform shoes can be more comfortable than some common high
heels because the soles are available in flat styles, relieving
pressure from the balls of your feet. They are, however, an
acquired taste as they raise your centre of gravity
considerably.
The soles of platform shoes are often made of wood, cork,
plastic or rubber. They will elevate your physique and
confidence, a fashion statement that's been sexy since the
1930's, when platform shoes came onto the market.
How to wear heels Before leaving home for a night out, practice
wearing your high heels by walking around your home. Keep your
legs straight and close together. Point your toes in front of
you. Start off with slow, short steps, placing your heel down
first then rolling onto the flat of your foot, the ball then
your toes.
As you become more comfortable with your high heel or platform
shoes, practice on various surfaces, like carpet and wood
floors. Don't forget to work on stops, turns and even slow
dancing.
Sexy shoes will round out any ensemble. You can wear stilettos
with denim jeans and platform shoes with mini skirts. Regardless
of the style of your dress, your high heel or platform shoes
will help keep your back straight, your shoulders back and make
your legs look longer. This is a sexy, seductive look no matter
where your shoes take you.
