I have to admit, I banned myself from runway modeling for a few years because I had a tremendous fear of falling from the sky high heels required to walk in these shows. The photo above is from a couple months ago - I guess this goes to show that I've learned a few things over the years to help me get "back on the horse."
In the words of Right Said Fred, "I'm a model if you know what I mean. And I do my little turn on the catwalk, Yeah on the catwalk!"
Some tips to walking in heels:
- Buy your sky high heels a half size too small. All my runway shoes are just a tad small. After all you're not buying stilettos for comfort anyway. This way your foot and shoe plant solidly together and there is no risk of one stepping out without the other. You know Cinderella would concur!
- Lean into your hips and push off your back foot for a long, graceful stride.
- Posture is key and this goes straight to confidence. Chin should be parallel to the ground. Shoulders back and arms should be ever so slightly bent at the elbows behind you.
- You should be walking in a straight line with one foot in front of the other -landing on the ball of your foot. Don't let your feet cross over each other.
- Practice makes perfect!!!
XOXO,
Shelley
