Aiming High - Practicing in Heels

Yes walking 200m gracefully in Hot Chicks is quite an accomplishment. I cannot imagine achieving that myself - I shall be delighted to walk gracefully in my 12cm stiletto boots.

Speaking of which I had an amusing episode this morning, when I got up and put in my stiletto boots to start my workday. I get up very early - typically 4am - since that is my most creative time. I’d left my stiletto boots by my kitchen table, ready to put on in the morning. Now, I have three pair of stiletto boots - one is quite a luxurious OTK pair in black Nubuck suede with 9cm heels. The other two are the same style in Italian Heels, their Tina model. One is in black leather with 10cm heels, the other is in very dark brown leather in 12cm heels.

I thought I had put in my 12cm ones this morning and was happily congratulating myself in a major breakthrough. To be sure I was only traipsing around my boat, but doing it was an ease I’d never imagined myself managing in 12cm stilettos. I was really quite chuffed - bring on the Hot Chicks! I did a lot of extra walking around, just to enjoy this breakthrough all the more. Had I been moored ina more heel friendly location I’d have gone for a celebratory stroll.

Alas, I discovered I had mixed up my boots and was wearing my 10cm stilettos, not the 12s. Back to beginners again ….

Oh well, I'm sure you will master the 12s soon

Yes, this walk was really a great accomplishment for me 🙂

But you have to keep in mind that I have the Hot Chicks for about a decade now. My first time wearing them out were only a few meters from the car to a restaurant entrance. So even though I didn't wear them that often, I have some experience in them already.

200 m is a distance where you can reach many places starting from the parking lot, so I'm glad that worked kind of well and I can wear them out more.

Our little "training group" also helps to stay at it and keep practicing 🙂

@Shyheels What a great story! I feel kind of sad for you that you found out you mistaken your heels. But one day you'll feel the same and then you'll really be wearing your 12 cm heels!

[Shyheels]

Thank you! I had to laugh when I realised I was still in my 10cm heels, but the bright side I suppose is how completely at ease I feel in them - hoe nice it will be when I do the same with 12cm!

Our little support group is really proving useful! I think of both of you when I put on my heels each morning.

Oh, and I meant to say that aside from being hugely impressed by your newly acquired abilities in the Hot Chicks - 200m would amply take you through a night out in them, say to a restaurant or something - I am also hugely impressed that you’re doing all your posting and reading ours in English! That’s brilliant.

i have - or had - a gift for languages at one time and could speak several but for various reasons never stayed the course. I’m envious now of those, like you, who are multilingual

Same here

[higherheels]

That's indeed a good thing!

Exactly, 200 m should be enough for most occasions. If these 200 m would become more comfortable with more practice, it would be perfect.

Oh thanks! I really wouldn't describe myself as multilingual as I only speak german and english, and my english isn't even the best I think, but I can get along.

[Shyheels]

Your English is good enough that I forget that you’re not a native speaker.

Your 200 metres has now become my goal for my 12cm heels. I needed something to shoot for aside from a vague aspiration to walk fluidly in them. I can aim for a smooth 200 metres and then work on improving and hopefully becoming more comfortable in them

[higherheels]

Thanks, that's good to hear 🙂

That's a great goal!

[Shyheels]

I’m quite excited by it - something to aim for! I can actually start believing I can do this! 

[higherheels]

Of course you can do it!

I'm also so excited to wear my Hot Chicks out again, I guess I have to make up an occasion for it if one doesn't come up by itself soon.

[Shyheels]

Absolutely! That will be fun for you! How nice it will be to wear them out to a stylish evening! Splurge! Treat yourself!

im really excited now that ive a goal to shoot for. And thanks for the vote of confidence!!!
