Women love to wear it without taking serious about his pain..
Here is a guide to walking in high heels without fell the pain..
The difference between sultry stilettos and frumpy pumps is
three-fourths of an inch, or so says Victor Chu, a former shoe designer who has developed a cottage industry for
himself - and perhaps increased the libidos of thousands of men - by training
women to walk properly and painlessly in high heels.
Chu says high heels and happy feet are not an oxymoron, if
only women hold themselves correctly while walking. Last week, he flew in from
New York, bringing his prowess to Azalea boutique on Hayes Street to give free
lessons in the art of seductive walking - just in time for holiday parties,
when even the most practical among us can be tempted by a sparkly sling-back or
metallic mule.
"Unsexy shoes are anything under 2.75 inches," Chu
said. "A 2-inch heel is a little dowdy. Too classical."
Plenty of people could benefit from lessons - everyone from
the fictional Carrie Bradshaw, who took a famously embarrassing catwalk spill in TV's "Sex
and the City" to the real-life runway models for Pucci, Prada and Dolce
& Gabbana who fell during Milan Fashion Week
earlier this year, and even Miss U.S.A., Crystal Stewart, who took a tumble at the Miss Universe pageant in July - as did
her predecessor in 2007. (The YouTube clip has been viewed nearly 3 million times.)
Chu may not have walked a mile in another woman's Manolos,
but his experience designing sport and dress shoes as a consultant for the
Tommy Hilfiger label from 2000 to 2004 gave him a different kind of
perspective. He decided he had a calling to share his know-how while chatting with
a colleague, Cece Chin, who has her own line called 80 20 shoes. As they sat on a park bench
in New York, the conversation turned to wondering why every woman they knew had
a problem walking in high heels.
"There's only so much you can do to a shoe's heel to
make it comfortable, before you make it unsexy," Chu recalled saying.
"Then we said, 'Wait! How do the Rockettes do it?'
"
It turned out that a friend of theirs danced for the
Rockettes. She told them the key to wearing high heels is in
walking mechanics.
The Three Keys To Wearing Very High Heels Successfully Are
Standing up straight, as if you were pulling a string
from the top of your head
Keeping your abdominal muscles taut by sucking your belly
button in toward your spine, which pulls your body weight back onto
your heels
Walking heel to toe with a slightly exaggerated hip sway,
rather than mincing around on the ball of the foot.
Heels Not Needed at Gym
That's not to say that it's a good idea to exercise in high
heels. Chu recommends against it, even though there are Crunch gyms in New York
that began offering "Stiletto Strength" classes in 2006, and other
gyms that offer classes in jazz, burlesque and pole dancing to women wearing
high heels. Stiletto sprint footraces have even occurred in Australia and New
York in recent years.
There's no pain when we wear a high heels today..
Gud Luck guys.. :)
