Starting today
I will share on my blog the
three main misconceptions that
many women have when walking
in high heels.
Today, I will mention the first
and most common misconception.
Landing on the heel in high heels
is a mistake many don’t realize
they’re making.
Before walking in heels
it’s important to start by carefully
observing your shoes.
There is an “obstacle”
under the heel:
it’s the “heel” of the shoe.
No matter if the heel is short
or long, if you land on the heel
as you would with flat shoes
it will inevitably disturb your
balance.
This is easily predictable.
However, many women walk
without questioning the habit of
landing on the heel.
This disrupts the body’s
balance and, in order to
maintain it, your posture is
often compromised.
Landing on the heel in high heels
not only affects elegance
but also puts physical strain
on the body.
At the same time, if you land
on the heel, the angle between
the heel and the ground becomes
sharper, which can damage or break
the heel.
Additionally, when landing
on the heel, all your weight
concentrates on the small
thin heel, putting pressure on the
outer side of your foot.
This can lead to excessive strain
on the muscles on the outer side
of your legs and cause problems
like bow legs.
From an elegance standpoint,
landing on the heel will make
the sole of your shoe visible from
the front, which considerably
reduces elegance.
This is a scene often observed
when celebrities or actresses are
photographed while walking.
Even if they are wearing a beautiful
dress and have perfect makeup,
the fact that the sole of their shoe is
visible takes away from their class.
In summary, landing on the heel
brings no benefits, either for your
body or from an elegance perspective.
So, how should you do it?
Before landing, direct your toes
downward and avoid placing your
heel first.
In other words, focus on
distributing the weight onto the
ball of your big toe.
The ball of your big toe and
the body axis are closely connected
which helps maintain stable balance
and strengthens the body axis.
It is also necessary to lift your
abdominal muscles upward to avoid
arching your back.
The use of the force from the ball
of the big toe and lifting the
abdominal muscles upward
are interconnected, helping to
avoid lower back pain.
This technique requires practice
even if you understand it
intellectually.
This is why high heel lessons are
so important: we work on these
fundamentals with exercises without
high heels to strengthen your posture
and balance.
This is precisely why
the ASAMI-PARIS method not only
teaches you to walk with elegance
but also has amazing benefits for your
health.
Even those who currently walk
landing on the heel may not feel
immediate effects, but in the long
term, due to the structure of your
body, it could lead to lower back or
foot pain.
That’s why landing on the heel in
high heels should not be
underestimated.
By changing this habit, you open the
door to lasting elegance and physical
well-being.
The beauty and health benefits
you can achieve through
this method are unique in the world.
