What You Must Never Do When Walking in High Heels

If you wish to walk through life
alongside high heels and experience
the best it has to offer through a truly
luxury high heels walking method
there is one thing you must never do.

You must never land on the heel
when your foot touches the ground.

This is not only for the sake of beauty
but, more importantly, to protect your
precious body.

This principle is foundational
in any luxury high heels walking
approach that protects not only beauty
but body alignment.

I have written about this topic many
times before on my blog, because
I know that most people do not go
back to read past entries.

So, today, I want to deliver this
message first and foremost to you
who have arrived at this post.

Many people walk in high heels
the same way they walk in flat shoes
without questioning whether the two
are fundamentally different.

But let me ask you:
What is attached beneath the
heel of your shoe?

The answer is the “heel” itself
 — its length and height vary
but it is a raised component you
cannot ignore.

If you attempt to land on the heel
while walking, disregarding this
elevation, it is inevitable that you
will harm your body.

Landing on the heel causes the
knee to bend easily at the moment
of contact, which makes it impossible
to place your weight on the ball of
the big toe.

Our body is designed to activate
the inner muscles of the foot and leg
when weight is properly placed on
 the ball of the big toe.

This, in turn, engages
the body’s central axis.

Without this, weight and pressure
shift to the outer part of the leg and
foot, preventing the body from using
its axis effectively during walking.

As a result, the back arches
backward in an attempt to regain
balance, leading to lower back pain.

Even when landing on the heel
with the knee fully extended
the body experiences harmful stress.

This is because the pressure
is placed directly on the knee joint
which can cause damage over time.

Moreover, landing sharply on the
heel, at an angle where the heel
meets the ground, leads to damage
 not only to your body but also to
 the heel itself.

In the ASAMI-PARIS method
the heel is never allowed to touch
down first.

To achieve this, you must
intentionally point the forefoot
downward as much as possible
just before landing.

This is done in an instant and
is what I define as a technique.

This allows you to land without
bending the knees, while
simultaneously placing your weight
on the ball of the big toe.

This allows you to land on the
ground with weight on the ball
of the big toe, while keeping the
knee extended.

When I teach a new client
I always demonstrate both the
correct and incorrect examples.

When walking incorrectly
by landing on the heel, even after
just a few steps, I feel pressure
on the outer calves, pain in my
lower back and a loss of balance
that makes walking difficult.

When I intentionally demonstrate
the incorrect way of walking
by landing on the heel, even just
a few steps are enough to cause
noticeable discomfort in my lower back and
outer calves.

For those who live their life
in high heels, I urge you to stop this
harmful habit immediately—not only
for the sake of elegance, but to protect
the health of your precious body.

Mastering luxury high heels walking
requires deep understanding
of the body’s structure and refined
movement.

Walking in high heels is entirely
based on theory.

Without understanding the body’s
mechanics and the
 interconnectedness of the muscles
walking based on intuition or
self-taught methods is dangerous.

In my twenties, I completed
the Honolulu Marathon four times
each time finishing under four hours.

However, because I trained
entirely on my own, without
professional instruction, I ended
up damaging my knees.

The body is delicate.
It requires a kind of instruction
manual.

Walking elegantly and
healthily in high heels is
in fact, both a sport and a
full-body exercise.

Walking may seem simple
but it holds a complex and
noble logic, akin to a sublime
art form.

To walk elegantly and
healthily in high heels is
a matter of theory — and
the reverse is equally true.

If you are reading this blog today
please take it as a message
from your own body.

Our bodies hold a mysterious
 power and limitless potential.

To walk elegantly and healthily
in high heels is a matter of theory
and the reverse is equally true.

The Luxury High Heels Walking
Method is built upon this theory,
ensuring beauty and well-being in
every step.

True beauty is not something
we seek outside ourselves.

It is the miracle we discover within.
