Gwyneth Paltrow walks in 7inch heels!

High Heel shoes are more then just fashionable footwear and they do more then make you taller. When worn right, high heels can instantly change your posture to be more upright and they can even make your feet appear smaller. Oh yeah, and they look thinner too! But walking in them can be tricky if you don’t do them right.

(tips from Victoria Briseno, Miss Plus Texas 2007)

Walk in Short Heels
The first thing I suggest is to start with a pair of small heels especially if you have never walked in heels before. After you pick out your shoes, practice just standing in your shoes. You’ll notice right away your change in height and you’ll also notice that your posture becomes more upright.

Practice Walking in the Heels
After you become accustom to your heels, it’s time to practice walking around in them. Take your first step by placing your heel down first and then the sole. Try to make this motion quickly and smoothly. You want to walk with your toes pointing as straight ahead as possible.

High Heel Posture, Stride, and Gait
As you walk, keep your legs straight and close together as much as possible. You want to take smooth, even and small steps. Your stride in heels should be smaller than your normal stride. For extra balance, swing your arms with each step. The more you practice walking in them the better you’ll do, the more confident you’ll walk and you’ll break in your shoes. Keep walking, change directions and make turns.

Walk Up and Down Stairs in Heels
Don’t forget to practice walking up and down stairs. The best way to do this in heels is to use the stair rail or walk as close to it in case you lose your balance. Going down stairs, you want your entire sole and heel to firmly land at once with each step. Walking up, you want just the sole of your shoe to land on the stair.

Walk on Different Surfaces
After you practiced standing, walking and you’ve conquered stairs, it’s time to tackle different surfaces. However, try to avoid walking on ice, slush, mud, grass, sand, gravel and grated surfaces. But do practice on hard surface floors, carpet, and sidewalks. If you’re planning on dancing in high heels, you need to practice that too.

Beginner Tips for Walking in Heels
Some tips to help you even more:
-When first starting out, the thicker the heel, the better. Try to avoid spike heels until you’re comfortable in walking in heels.
-If your heels have straps make sure you have them securely tightened.
-Start out with a rounded toe verses a pointed toe.
-Avoid driving in heels. You won’t have as much control and you can damage the heel of your shoe.

Just remember, mastering walking correctly in high heels is all about practice, practice, practice. The more you do it, the better you’ll be at it.

Wondering what's going to be hot in Fall shoes for 2009? Here's a sneak peek at some of the hottest trends in Fall shoes and boots for women.

1. Cut-Out and Open-Toed Booties

If you were among those who disliked last Fall’s open-toed booties, then I’m sorry that you’re in for at least one more season with the controversial style. But if you appreciate footwear with open toes and cut-out detailing, then you’ll be happy, because this is one trend that’s actually gaining favor.

2. Purple, Blue and Neutral Shoes for Fall

Once again, we’ll see a lot of gray shoes this Autumn, and of course we’ll be seeing our usual Fall earth tones. But as a carry-over from Summer, there will be an extra emphasis on the lighter neutral shades within those color families. Looking for a bit more color? Purples, blues, and hunter green are among the hottest shades in Fall shoes.

3. Ruffled Shoes and Other Glamorous Embellishments

This Fall, we’ll be seeing a lot of ruffled shoes, as well as those with other glamorous embellishments like rhinestones, sequins, bows, lace, and even feathers, all atop rich suedes, satins and velvets. And of course, these special touches will be especially present on evening shoes.

4. Belts, Buckles, Rings and Studs on Shoes and Boots

The hardware trend isn’t going anywhere just yet, so keep looking for shoes (and boots) with zippers, links, studs, and buckles. And if you’ve already bought some, don’t put them away just yet, style’s not done with heavy metal footwear. Of course, we need justification for all those buckles, and that comes via belts — which are adorning short and tall boots alike.

5. Over the Knee Boots

Of all the Fall footwear trends, we’re most excited about over the knee boots! They’re one of our favorite footwear styles — especially when they’re flats, and that’s exactly what we’ll be seeing this Fall. Tall, flat boots look especially great with skirts and dresses; they can be paired with tights or worn with bare legs; and they flatter while keeping your legs warm. Bundle up!
