How shall men walk in heels?

HHfanatic · 29th July 2008, 00:32

There are many video`s how females shall walk in heels to have the correct body movement etc.
And to see a woman that can really walk in heels, is quite a view.

If I see a man walking in heels the same way, I would guess I would think he might be a gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I feel it will be very wrong for me.

So what about men in heels? How shall we walk and how do you walk?

Apparently, like a girl.

Somewhere between the extremes.

Don't waddle with your toes pointed, but excessive sashaying isn't necessary.

It may serve well to record yourself walking in a straight line, noticing if your movements appear graceful yet not feminine, then adjusting your walk accordingly if needed.

Outside of my very first few steps in heels, I've actually had more of a problem with sashaying than with pointing my toes/clomping about.

My size contradicts how I walk in heels. I sway my hips, sometimes more than a straight guy "should", keeping my shoulders fairly straight with good posture, but it feels natural. And, it helps me walk gracefully.
I guess one walks best in heels like a "women" does.

i think my walk is definitely more feminine than normal... but i also think that it's natural to walk like that in the higher heels..... it actually looks awkward if my walk wasn't feminine (or if i tried to tone it down).... although it looks odd that i'm walking feminine as well (for different reasons).... :)

I noticed that placing each foot (almost) in front of the other (opposed to a wide zig-zag pattern) and kicking (ever so slightly!) your foot forward just before putting it down "feels" natural, although a bit feminine too.

Swaying hips isn't something for men, I'd say.

Oh, and for God's sake keep you toes pointed forward. Toes pointed outward screams Neanderthal (imho).

I'm with Daniel: graceful yet not overly feminine.

I would say you can "try" to adapt different "walks" to your heeling, but at the end of the day, won't any change you make look like you're walking in a "forced" manner? I do sway my hips some, but don't try to. I do walk with one foot nearly in front of the other, but don't try to. If I "tried" to walk differently, my walk would look "staged", and I think that's the worst way to walk...IMO only, of course.

Johnieheel has it right in the video.

just be yourself. I bet he walks the same way in men's shoes or 3" heels. I've watched myself walk in 4" heels much the same way. Damage to my left foot keeps me out of my 5" and above. Thanks for the video Johnieheel.

My wife tells me that above 3" my walk alters, yet I feel no difference in my walk. I suppose for my foot this is the point at which the stride shortens and the old hips do their thing.
