Walking On All Surfaces

Ihe trick is to know what your dealing with, know the problem.. know the solutions! 

Carpet - The deeper the the pile, the greater the danger. go for shallow patches, when walking stab the heel in deep for a good balance. Ifs its your carpet on the other hand.. put on thicker heels as spikes an destroy a shag pile.

Cobble Stones - There is no way of battling them just keep an even footing and find your centre of gravity.

Wood Slats - Walk tall, fast and in a strait line. Get your heel wedged in a gap and you could be there all  night.

The Beach - Only the most skilled have difficulty walking on sand and cobblestones. Keep it flat and simple.

Grids - The smaller the scarier, walk on the balls of your feet. The thinner the heel the more wary you should be.

Escalators - Hold onto the rail, go on tip-toes and don't let your heel sit in the grooves.

Airports - This requires a lot of walking, so go for footwear that has is slouchy and soft. Leave the spikes until you land.

Pavement - Stay on the inside and avoid the cracks. 

Marble - TAKE CARE. One slip and your floored. It looks good, but in reality its like a sheet of ice.

Dance Floor - Glitter and sparkle it up! Get those killer heels out and rock them.

Travel Heels - For tubes, buses and modes of public transport have ballet pumps or flats, either on or in your bag.

Driving Heels - Bare feet or flats, DO NOT DRIVE IN HEELS!

When a Heel Breaks

All heels have steel rods inside the flesh of the heel so they shouldn't break, and if they do you are walking at a very strange angle.  But if this happens while you are out, improvise.

• If it has snapped off altogether retrieve it.
• If it is hanging off try to wedge it back on 
• With both of the above transfer all the weight to the balls of your foot instantly. 
• Walk on tip toes, find a seat or lean in a stylish way against the wall.
• If you are required to stand still place all your weight on the foot with the heel intact, but don't stand still for too long.
• Do not draw attention to a broken heel, you will be inviting ridicule.
• Retire to replace shoes at the soonest convenience.
• Call the taxi home!

Should I wear heels?

High heels are not just for evenings girls! They do wonders for trousers, jeans, skirts and even pyjamas all you need to be is adventurous.

When choosing that perfect pair of shoes to go with that outfit just think:

Weather - Will they get ruined if it rains? How long can I last in them?

How deep is the carpet - You don't want to be walking around and getting your heel stuck in every nook and cranny. 

Can i get from A to B or do i need more help? - Are they made for walking, or will they just fall apart? 

Hazards - Children, crowds, cracks in the floor, uneven surfaces, the weather. 

Dress Code - The perfect pair of shoes can make or break an outfit. So choose wisely. 

Short Arse - Are you going to tower over everyone your with?

Hang the Kittens - In no way are 'kitten heels' acceptable.. No.. Just no.

Know Your Realistic Time Limit - Are you going o be able to cope?
