A gorgeous pair of heels instantly makes you feel slimmer, sexier, and more feminine. The trick, of course, is walking in them!
Walking in heels is definitely a skill – and it’s something many crossdressers and transgender women tell me they struggle with.
Are you ready to perfect your sexy strut? The first step in mastering your heels training is to learn these 7 dos and don’ts when it comes to walking in high heels.
1. DO Walk Heel-To-Toe
When learning to walk in heels, a common beginner mistake is to place the entire foot down at once. Unfortunately, this can make it look like you are “clomping” rather than walking.
The proper technique is to walk in a heel-to-toe pattern, just like you do on flat feet. Place your heel down first, followed by your toe. This will make your walk look as smooth and natural as possible.
2. DO Take Smaller Steps
Wearing heels naturally shortens your stride. The higher the heel, the shorter your steps should be.
Don’t try to fight this! Instead, take shorter, more frequent steps as you walk.
3. DON’T Lean Forward Or Back
Heels change your balance, so you need to be careful not to lean forward or back when you walk. Your weight should stay centered and lifted.
Imagine you are a puppet with a string attached to the top of your head. Picture the string pulling you up as you walk, giving you a regal and ladylike air.
4. DO Place One Foot In Front Of The Other
Have you ever noticed that runway models look like they are walking on an invisible tightrope?
Placing one foot in front of the other as you walk makes your steps more feminine. It also gives your hips a sexy sway!
The trick is not to overdo it. You should also avoid the temptation to look down at your feet to be sure they are lining up.
Instead, focus on keeping your legs together. If you feel your thighs brushing together, your feet will naturally cross over just a little bit.
5. DON’T Go Too High
Not surprisingly, 5” stilettos are a lot harder to walk in than 3” pumps.
Start low and work your way up. A good place to begin is with a heel that is 2-3” tall. This will allow your ankles to develop the strength needed to support you.
Once you’ve mastered that, you can move on to the skyscraper stilettos you’ve been coveting.

6. DO Relax Your Legs
Another common mistake is to tense your legs and lock your knees when you walk in heels. This can give you a stiff, robotic look.
Instead, keep your legs and hips relaxed. The knees should have a slight bend, which will help the hips sway.
7. DON’T Forget To Practice
The time to test your heel walking skills isn’t when you’re out and about. Be sure to spend a lot of time wearing them around the house before you make your big debut.
As you practice, be sure to cover all of the real-world skills you’ll need to master, including:
- Walking
- Turning around
- Standing
- Sitting down
- Getting into and out of a car
- Walking up and down stairs

I Got me Some Hi-Heel shoes I’ve Fell In Them 2 Time And I’m Transgender M2F Myself I Like never In My Life being A Trans Girl Ever Fell In Any Type Of Shoes Nor Have I Ever Wore Hi-Heel Shoes But When I Fell It Hurt Like Hell I was at The panama City florida Mall When I Fell But I Was Every Upset As Well And My Shoe Took Some Damage as Well
When I first bought a pair of heels, it was difficult,
mostly time and continued use has made so easy now,
I cannot do the pointed shoes, really hurt my feet,
rounded toes are so much more comfortable.
Learning to walk in them properly was a challenge too,
but with time and patience anyone can do it..
Have fun with all those great colors girls,,,,,
me encanta usar tacones es una maravilla me hace sentir muy femenina, una mujer se que eso no te hace pero para mi es sensacional, la primera vez que use tacones tendria seis o siete años, me quedaban bien y desde entonces tengo siempre uno o dos pares , pero voy a empezar a comprar mas me fascinan los zapatos
Thank you very much for the advices given. I am happy to say that me too, I seem to be a natural born talent. My first “real” own heels were/are 10 cm which is roughly 4″. All you mentioned I did instinctively which may be another hint on my true gender (like so many other things).
However walking in the streets I do prefer them a bit lower most of the time. And yes: There is very intimate moments when I do wear long boots up to my thighs where I can even handle over 5″ (talking about the heels here lol).
I started out wearing my mom’s 4″ heels when I was 15. I had no problem walking in them at all. Over the years I have built a collection of 120 pairs of heels. I most wear between 4″ and 6″ heels. I have owned and still own heels 7″, 8″, and I just purchased a pair of 10″ platform heels. I wear heels at home everyday and it has paid off. I always get complements of how well I do when wear 5″ heels. It is a great feeling walking in them and looking fem doing so. I have also had the comment that I walk better in heels than most women. I love to dress up my heels with a garter belt and some nice FF nylons, they always get some good attention.
Dear Luciille,
I started with wedges & I think my calves look ok but I always wear nylons ( thigh Hi ) I love nylons that have a “backseam” stockings well I get hot. I do have stiletto, kitten heal, a few that are between 3 to 4 inches. Sandals: your legs are Bare; no nylons so pick a hot orange, that would be heaven for this Queen of Foot fetish. But whatever you do polish hot color. What a rider.
I am one of the lucky ones. I was able to take to wearing 4″ heels like a fish takes to water. Along with my wife and some GG’s that I have met, they told me that I do better in heels than most of their friends. I think the most important part is to find a pair that fits properly. Kinda tough to walk in heels if your feet are killing you. I now have 15 pairs of heels and luv each and every one of them. When wearing heels, be patient and be sure to let that girl inside of you come out. It does make walking in them a lot easier. Oh, and have fun
Walking in heels makes me feel so good .you are correct practice makes it so much easier when you do go out with your heels on.
I remember the aching in my calfs when l first wore my heels . Your video is so helpful thank you very much. Xx
