Let’s continue the shoe journey! To complete the shoe collection in your closet, you definitely need to have at least one pair of stiletto heels. I would never say no to stilettos because they are irresistible. I always love the high, long, and thin heels because they are so classy yet sexy. It is not a secret that I wear heels everyday and I love thin heels with pointy toes. You probably think I start wear heels when I was very young. I actually didn’t own my first pair until I was 20. Since then I wear them whenever I can; I kept on practicing and that’s how I can wear very high stiletto heels now.

A pair of stilettos can elevate your whole outfit. No matter what you are wearing, stilettos can give an illusion of longer and slimmer legs. Especially for petite people like me, stilettos always save my life by making me look taller and helping to firm my bottom. Stilettos can pretty much go with anything: any type of denims, leggings, long/short skirts, dresses, or shorts. A pair can go from dressy to casual and from day to evening. One of the fun things is you can choose a pair of fancy stilettos with lots of details such as feather or stones to pair with just black but you will still be the centre of attention. Just make sure the pair of stilettos goes well with your outfit so the whole look would make sense. They are like the last piece of the puzzle to a perfect outfit!

The most common concern/complaint regarding stilettos is they are not comfortable to walk around. Trust me it took me a long time to figure out what to do to minimize the pain cause by wearing stilettos. The first thing to watch for is the height of the heels. Some stilettos are as high as 8 inches; they are great to look at but aren’t the best choice to walk around with. I find that 4-4.5 inches are the most comfortable because it’s not too high that my feet are bending to a steep angel which makes walking/standing impossible. The second thing I look at is the placement of the heels. If the heels are positioned too far back they won’t provide any support and that’s why your feet hurt wearing them. Other things I do is putting in gel insoles and heel grips to help reduce pain. It’s party season coming up so make sure you are all ready with your stilettos!
