How the hell does one walk in Stripper shoes?

[DrNortherner]

Need a new pair of heels for the party season and shops are full of those extra high, platform type shoes. Gorgeous, but a nightmare to walk in?

I am good in normal heels.

Have my eye on these

platform = not as high as they look

if you can walk in normal heels, you will be fine :)

they are stripper shoes.

I think you have a pair of them fold up ones in your bag for walking to taxis etc. You wear the 'stripper' style indoors, standing still or sitting down.

You don't walk! You lean, pout and take small tippy steps.

:o

if they have a platform then they are actually super comfy as although you are that much taller, the arch of your foot is only the same as if wearing a much smaller heel.

iyswim.

The trick with true stripper heels is to walk as if on tip toes.

Mayornaze they look so much higher though, am worried I shall be a tad unsteady.

Sod it.

I will treat me self!

Lol at ski pole. Would a hiking pole have teh same effect?

go for it

have plenty of practice before actually going out in public. grip with your toes a bit and all will be well :)

My ankles are weeping at the sight of those shoes.

But that's just me - maybe just pack a pair of flip-flops for later on

Hmmm I have to disagree. I can walk in very high heels no problem, but my 5 inch platforms are strictly for my pole class. I could never go out in them.
