Bridal Slippers or Stilettos?

Ladies, how many times have you looked back at your wedding day (those of you whom are already married) and asked...Why did I look so uncomfortable on the dance floor? Maybe it was because some nimwit friend talked to into a keen pair of stiletto heels that were, oh I don't know, perhaps some 3 inches too steep for you? Just a guess. Not everyone is made to wear steep heels, and not everyone wants to.

Dancing in High Heels is really no different from walking in high heels. The trick is to be honest and feel comfortable moving in your shoes. So many ladies wear flat shoes for most of the time, but at your wedding somehow flat shoes just don’t cut it. So few brides, however, think about the ramifications of wearing her beautiful heels for the Wedding Dance.Moving around in heels seems so very different from wearing flats. We have all seen ladies tottering around, struggling with her shoes. If you can’t walk on your shoes then you just can;t dance on them either. During your Wedding Dance you not only want to look spectacular but feel comfortable too.

So, the first question must be “How do I walk in High Heels?”Walking in high heels is no different from walking in flats. As we move our body, our leg moves under us to hold us up. The foot its the floor first and then we roll over our bodies as our weight moves forward. We then do it again with the other foot. When wearing heels the process is exactly the same. We move our foot so that if we were not wearing heels the heel of the foot would strike first. As soon as we feel the heel of the shoe making contact with the floor then we roll over our foot in a forward motion.

Dancing in heels depends on what style of dance we are doing. Decide this far in advance so that you can practice your wicked moves. All of the traditional ballroom dances likely to be used for a Wedding Dance such as Waltz and Foxtrot will use the method we have just described. Dancing a Latin American style such as Rumba or Cha Cha dictate the toe descending first, which does depend on your weight being more forward. If you intend to do the "Chicken Dance" or any other the other crazy dances that new brides and grooms do today...do yourself a favor and take your shoes off,..trust me, you'll have a lot more fun and when the alcohol wears off a few hours later, you'll feel better and quite glad that you did.

There are some more tips we can give however. Think about your shoes, the ones you wear to work or around the home. Are they worn? More specifically, are they worn unevenly with one side worn more than the other? If so, you are walking favouring one side of your foot.

Walking on heels is easier when you use the central area of your foot, bring the foot into contact with the floor in the centre of the heel and then on to the central part of the front of your foot. The finer the heel, the more important it is to walk “centrally." Stilettos are more difficult to walk on for this reason.

If you honestly want to dance in high heels, you are crazy and already not under the influence of alcohol which I would very much have to been with steep stilettos on....wear them around and try to use them on a regular basis you must practice walking in them so that you are really confident that you can handle all sorts of surfaces. No one wants to see you with your skirt up over your head and your ass smacking the floor, but it happens...Try this; constructed ballroom shoes have kid soles entirely unsuited to walking outside but brilliant for holding and feeling the floor. They are great! I'm not necessarily suggesting that you need dance shoes or even Isotoner Slippers, but do consider how it feels to walk on a hard, smooth floor – and now on a dance floor. Remember if you cannot feel comfortable walking on this surface you will not be able to dance on it. Screw the saying "No pain, no gain!" if your feet are sore, your back will hurt. It really isn't worth it, is it?
