    Thank you for telling me that it’s ok to wear flats when “dressed up”. I have arthritis that no longer allows me to wear heels and I avoid dressy occasions because I didn’t think I had appropriate shoes. You have made my day!

    When I have a new pair of heels that I need to break in, I wear them around the house for a day, while I do house work. That way they don't kill my feet the first time I wear them out! I also use gel inserts , which makes all the difference in the world☺👍

    Perhaps Myka can also go over making shoes/heels more comfortable soon; but until then, if your feet hurt from wearing heels use medical tape to tape together toes 3-4 (from the big toe). I read we have a nerve there and that is what causes the pain. I tried it one night (with the inserts) when I knew I would be doing a lot of walking. I had flats with me just in case. Surprisingly, I never pulled out my flats.

      It's great to have tricks to help! If your feet hurt from wearing heels that is a pointer to some alignment issues. You get those dealt with, you won't need the tape!

  • @Jete59
    @Jete59 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    The body posture tips are the same for ballet dancers. My of my dancer friends also find walking in heel easy because they are used to walking in on the balls of their feet, but we also walk with our feet turned out. In heels a little turn out is not noticeable when walking on the “ tight rope “ but in flats it can look a little like a funny.
    Thank you for the tips, I enjoy the video series.

      Hey! If you are worried about tripping over most likely its your ankles are rolling out. Ankle strengthening exercises will definitely help. When you feel stable, you won't need to look down!

    Hello MykaX thank you for posting. I always enjoy it.
    This time I have another opinion about platforms, they don’t look that elegant as hills without platform, but I think they are more comfortable because of the platform, it makes the hill lower.
    I have a question one of my legs is thinner than the other, if we look at etiquette do I have to cover my legs with long dresses or pants or wear dresses I like (short ones )

    • @nicolepettit5120
      @nicolepettit5120 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don’t know the etiquette rule for one of your legs being thinner, but I think if someone tells you you HAVE to wear a long skirt because of this problem, then that is judgmental. It’s up to you for what you are comfortable revealing to others and about your body and what you personally find flattering.

  • @md99208
    @md99208 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Very helpful, efficient and concise presentation, thank you. I do have a question regarding the physical build characteristic of high heels. There are two main styles I see out there a lot. both involve stilletos about 100 to 120mm. The most popular style appears to be the one with the shoe heel built flat to the aft from the heel of the shoe on down such as in the Louboutin So Kate. The 2nd style is the more tradition heel that has a curve toward the aft thereby centering the weight of the leg and heel of the foot directly over the point of contact where the shoe heel meets the floor. And example of this would be the Louboutin Batignolles. I heard somewhere that one of those styles of shoe build is far more comfortable than the other. Do you know what those builds are called? Have you heard a "comfort report" on them?

    I have a few pairs of heels . They can be hard to walk & stand in . The best thing to is wearing around the house ect & get some gel in soles that should make them confy & I would say after you get gel insoles try wearing the heels you put the insoles in around the house before you wear them outside.
