Balance Question

[Eager2heel]

I read someplace when you are in high heels you should be able to stand on one foot and be able to balance . I am not talking about for a long time just a few seconds. That how you know if your feet and ankles are ready to handle the high heel shoe you want to wear.

 

I tried it and for some reason I can stand on my right foot for a long time but I can't stand on my left foot at all. Is that normal when you are new to heels ?

Not really. What about when your in bare feet, or a flat shoe?

 

Usually one is stronger than the other, but not like you descibed.

With bare feet i have no problem. But as soon as I put on the high heel shoe I have no strength at all in the left foot and ankle.

Some strength training will take care of that.

I am working on that now.. I is just odd that only one foot has enough strength and the other has none.

Yoga.

When you get good at it, try to balance on one foot, then close your eyes! It's harder than you think.

It is getting better but it is going slow. I had to back off with the heels for a week but I had a chance to put them back on and I was able to stand on my weak side longer then before.
