Wearing high heels correctly: the most common mistakes - and how to avoid them
Heeled shoes such as high heels or stilettos are more than just stylish accessories - they give you self-confidence, elegance and expression. But if you regularly wear high heels, you're probably also aware of the downside: pain, poor posture or unpleasant looks when you walk unsteadily.
To prevent your love of high heels from becoming a burden, we'll show you the typical mistakes - and how to avoid them. To prevent this from happening, this article shows you the typical mistakes you should avoid - and how to walk confidently, stylishly and, above all, have fun in high heels.
Because that's exactly the mission of GLORIELLAS: to give you back the joy of wearing high heels - with shoes that not only look stunning, but also feel good.
1. the wrong size - an underrated classic
Too tight, too wide, too narrow - many women don't wear their high heels in the perfect size. The perfect fit is the be-all and end-all for comfort and stability when wearing high heels. Shoes that are too small cause blisters and pressure points, while shoes that are too big offer no support and make walking a wobbly affair.
Tip: When buying, make sure you have enough room for your toes, a firm heel hold and a soft, cushioning insole.
With the GLORIELLAS size guide, you can easily find the right size that fits your foot perfectly. You can quickly measure which size you need - because every shoe last is slightly different. GLORIELLAS also offers half sizes. So your high heel not only fits perfectly, but also feels like it was made especially for you - comfortable from the first step to the last dance.
2. Haltung und Gang – dein geheimer Stilfaktor
High heels do not automatically give you an elegant posture. A cramped or wobbly gait can disenchant even the most beautiful shoe.
Tip: Exercise your foot and calf muscles regularly and make sure you keep an upright posture, take small steps and roll consciously when walking.
3. avoid excessive hip swaying
An elegant walk does not need exaggerated hip movements. Too much ‘swag’ quickly looks unnatural or exaggerated.
Tip: Let your shoulders gently lead the way - this looks much more stylish and creates a sensual aura. Self-confidence through control, not through exaggeration.
4. pay attention to your knee posture
Turning your knees outwards when walking breaks the line of your legs and makes your gait sluggish.
Tip: Place your foot with a slightly bent but stretched leg forwards - straight, not outwards. This creates an elegant silhouette and makes your legs look longer.
5. roll correctly - heel to toe
Many people make the mistake of running from toe to heel - and that's bad for your posture and comfort. Tip: Walk over your heel first, then roll gently over the ball of your foot. This will help you walk with more stability, confidence and style.
GLORIELLAS high heels support you with an ergonomic design and a cushioning sports sole - perfect for long days at work or special occasions.
6. upright posture - for elegance and relief
‘Don't slouch’ - poor posture in high heels not only makes you less elegant, but also causes more pain and fatigue more quickly.
Tip: Imagine an invisible thread gently pulling your sternum towards the sky. An upright posture not only looks fantastic, but also takes the strain off your lower back and feet. Walking upright means walking elegantly - and you can feel it.
7. practice makes perfect
Nobody is born with the perfect high-heel gait - and that's totally okay!
Tip: Practise regularly at home: on different surfaces, in different shoe heights and in front of the mirror. This way, you will naturally develop your own confident style. The more often you practise, the more relaxed, confident and elegant you will appear - guaranteed
Conclusion: elegance begins with the right shoe
