How do you not fall in platform heels?
Platform heels are just what you need to elevate and transform your basic day-to-day look into something magnificent. To help prevent you from falling in your heels, practise walking in them repeatedly before wearing them out in public.
Also, make sure the heels fit well and are the correct size. Additionally, try to distribute your weight evenly on both feet and take short, slow steps. And lastly, keep your balance by keeping your head up, shoulders back and your core engaged.
What to avoid when wearing platform heels
Platform heels are the ultimate in comfort, style and fit. They'll have you looking ravishing with little or no effort. However, to enjoy these shoes to the max, avoid walking on uneven surfaces, as the increased height of the heel makes it harder to maintain balance.
Additionally, not wearing the proper size or fit of shoes is a big no-no, as this can lead to blisters and other foot injuries. Opt for a pair that fits snugly around the midsection of your foot, yet allows for some wiggle room in your toes.
