The Walk Is All In The High Heel Shoes


Walking in high heel shoes corrects your gait.

It does. Really!

I noticed this the other day, while I was sitting in a shopping mall sipping a fresh cup of joe, when I started to notice the way some woman walk.

Odd, I thought to myself. There’s something I have overlooked. I noticed an attractive young lady with a snappy hair style and rather voluptuous breasts. She was well dressed although a little casual, but she was wearing the dreaded flip flops.

No matter… I mean … this is Flip flop town… after all.

Beside the point that wearing flips flops to a shopping mall rather than a pair of nicer shoes is akin to wearing scuba diving fins to a fancy restaurant, the flip flops, if worn all the time, I believe starts to train the wearer to walk like a penguin.

You heard it… like a penguin.

Why you ask?

I have noticed this trait over the years but never put it together. That wearing certain forms of shoes (e.g. flip flops, cowbot boots) causes the wearer to walk with a shuffle and the feet splayed outwards like a penguin.

Probably so they can walk in those shoes.

They kind of take on the appearance of a character in a Dr. Suess animation.

Whereas a person who wears high heel shoes is forced to walk in a straight line, one foot in front of the other, and causes the wearer to become conscious of each step and the way their body moves.

High heels trains the whole body to move with grace and precision, whereas if all you have worn are flops and runners, then you tend to walk like a football player… or even a penguin.

Therefore, I cry out to the modern world. Forsake the flops and runners and begin to wear high heels… for your own sake. At least stop wearing them in shopping malls. I mean really!

High Heel Shoes Influence Your Walk!


It’s all in the way you walk.

Women who don’t wear heels walk differently from those that do. It’s just the way your gait is trained, I suppose, but those who wear heels walk with a style, a grace, if you please.

Those who have worn nothing but running shoes, flip flops and Marge Simpson shoes walk like football players. No question.

Therefore I have categorized these two distinct groups into their groups: high heelers and footballers.

High heels will train the wearer to step with flair. The legs have to swing forward, and the heel must touch the ground before the ball of the foot. There is no mashing the ground as if there was a rodent to be killed as the footballers do.

It is often said you can’t run in high heels (I beg to differ), but have you ever seen anyone running in flip flops? Oh the hilarity ensues.

Or the shapely line of a elegant boot can make your whole silhouette seem all that more glamorous, whereas if you were wearing a skirt and some Marge Simpson shoes, you will appear, and walk, like someone about to guard a runningback.

Drag Queens know this implicitly. Do you see them walk around in Marge Simpson shoes? Not on your life. The whole look and feel of a feminine look starts with the shoes! And that means high heels baby!

Everything else above that enhances the footwear and vice-versa. Even male legs can look better in high heels, so it should work fantastic for a pair of ladies gams.

But then again, if you are afraid a running-back will be coming out of the back field at the office… by all means, wear some cleats!
