If you’ve ever wondered
how to walk elegantly in heels
but instead experience pain
or fatigue, you are not alone.
Have you ever experienced
pain in your feet from wearing
high heels?
Have you ever felt lower back
pain while wearing them?
Do you find yourself quickly
exhausted when walking in heels?
If you answered “yes”
to any of these questions
it is a clear message:
You are walking incorrectly
in high heels.
Most people walk in high heels
the same way they walk in flat
shoes.
It’s no surprise that this
leads to pain and physical
discomfort.
Walking correctly and elegantly
in high heels doesn’t rely solely
on the leg muscles.
It’s a full-body workout that
requires coordinated engagement
of the entire muscular system.
As with any sport, preparation
before practice is essential.
Take surfing as an example:
beginners don’t simply head
out into the ocean.
They build core strength
and practice paddling on land.
Without that preparation
the waves can easily overwhelm
them and even cause injury.
High heels are no different.
Before stepping into them
one must train the body
through targeted preparation.
Proper preparation is key
when learning how to walk
elegantly in heels, as the body
must be trained both mentally
and physically.
This preparation consists
of two essential elements.
The first is the stretching
exercises I discussed in the
previous blog.
The second involves barefoot
exercises designed to refine
the movement of the legs,
train proper weight distribution
and engage the right muscles.
There are five core barefoot
exercises in the ASAMI-PARIS
method.
They focus on building control
and strength in the ball of the
big toe, activating the inner thighs
strengthening the body’s central
axis and deep postural muscles.
While similar muscles can be
trained through methods
like Pilates, the key difference is
whether they are activated during
real-life walking.
Unless those muscles are
engaged during movements
that mimic real walking, the
training becomes ineffective.
Many women invest years
into building beautiful bodies.
However
these refined muscles
often remain inactive during
daily walking.
In the context of walking in
high heels, such potential
remains completely untapped.
While knee strength is certainly
necessary for walking in heels,
training the knees in isolation is
not sufficient.
True refinement requires
the coordinated activation
of the knees and the upward
engagement of the abdominals
cultivated through exercises
that address both together.
In addition
most of us unconsciously
arch our lower back.
This tendency becomes
even more noticeable
when wearing heels.
It’s the body’s natural attempt
to maintain balance
but it often leads to back pain.
Through barefoot exercises
the body and brain can be
trained to recognize and correct
this misalignment.
The five barefoot exercises
are non-negotiable.
Each plays a vital role in
preparing the body to walk
correctly in heels.
Personally, I perform them
every morning after stretching.
And every day
I discover something new.
For instance
the moment I put on heels
after these exercises
I can immediately feel the
reduction in swelling in my feet.
Many of my clients describe
how light and easy walking
in heels feels after these exercises.
The benefits are undeniable.
From a professional
standpoint, I cannot imagine
walking in high heels without
stretching and barefoot exercises.
Please don’t take these
words as a passing thought.
If you truly care for your
body and if you truly care for
your high heels, I invite you to
receive this message.
When you walk correctly
in high heels, you will not
experience back pain.
You will not suffer from
foot or leg discomfort.
You begin to unlock your
fullest potential through
your body, your emotions
your energy and your beauty.
If you desire to live with
elegance, you must understand
that the true value lies behind
the scenes.
The ASAMI-PARIS philosophy
of high heels will guide you
to a place far beyond what
you ever imagined.
This is a philosophy that
exists nowhere else in the world.
And it is quietly waiting for you.
