Question

How do I walk in stilettos without my feet feeling light and more likely to fall?

Community Answer

Make sure your shoe has a firm (but not tight) fit on your foot. Stilettos with ankle straps can help, as you can adjust the strap tighter, but in all cases make sure you have the right size of shoe. You will naturally feel uneasy walking in stilettos in early stages, but with practice you will feel more grounded and safer. The difficulty of walking in stilettos increases as heel height increase, so as the article says, start with shorter heels.

Question

How can I keep the plastic on a stiletto from slipping sideways on laminate floors?

Community Answer

You can have a cobbler change the plastic pit for a rubber one in order to prevent slipping.

Question

How do I prevent shaking in stilettos while standing still?

Community Answer

Practice walking, stopping and standing at home before wearing them out. Bend your knees slightly to relax and lock them to stop the shaking immediately. Hold on to something to steady yourself.

Question

Are stilettos okay for dancing?

Community Answer

Yes, but I wouldn't suggest a long night of dancing in stilettos regularly. In the long run, doing so can give you many medical conditions with your feet such as bunions.

Question

How do I stretch heels that have a strap around my toes?

Community Answer

Ideally you should not attempt to stretch heels and try your best to find a pair that perfectly matches your foot. However, if the closest size is still slightly small, you should fill a sealed plastic bag with water and put it in the shoe as you would your foot, filling up almost all the space. Make sure the bag also goes under the toe strap. Leave the shoe with the water bag inside the freezer overnight, and the water will expand into ice, slowly stretching the shoe and strap. Once frozen, let the bag defrost until you can easily pull it out.
