Fashion Is Fun

If You Can’t Walk in Them, Don’t Wear Them

You know the scene:

You emerge from the subway, it’s 9:17, and you get stuck on a narrow sidewalk behind someone trying to walk in heels when they so clearly cannot. You can’t go around them left or right, because they’re walking smack in the middle of the pedestrian lane for balance, fun - who knows what.

Next time, you should walk right up behind her and say, “Hey, have you seen those videos from Anastassia Khozissova on Modelinia? You might want check them out.” Because they teach women how to walk in heels - ok, they’re really more for fun, but perhaps should be required viewing as part of Phys Ed.

Tune in to see the full clip tomorrow at 9am, on Modelinia.

This is so true. I made the mistake of buying black knee high boots with a 4 1/2" heel. They are impossible to walk in. I think 4" is the max for anyone to not look ridiculous!

I agree, belive me i LOVE heels. I am 4"11, so the bigger the better. But 4"in is the truly the max. Not only do you start looking ridiculous after that but you run the risk of really hurting yourself.

I went to the Modelinia website the videos are super cool. The series is called "High Heel Boot Camp". Walking in high heels looks like a true art!

I need to check out the whole clip! I'm so clumsy in heels, I've all but given up on them.

I'm all for the equal opportunity Phys Ed. If I have to play basketball with the boys, then they should have to learn to walk in heels with me. It'd certainly help to have had a tutorial in this stuff before I got into the adult world.

This is my absolute BIGGEST pet peeve! I HATE being stuck behind someone in gorgeous shoes that they cant walk in. If you cant make it out the door in them... leave them for someone who can!
