Walking down stairs gracefully in high heels

[JSLS]

I actually have to navagate a narrow and steep staircase to the projection room at the theatre, sometimes with a box of film weighting up to 100 pounds and I do it in heels.

Whilst I'm sure it's not that important, how high are the heels you wear to work?

3-5 inches and always a spike or stiletto.

Well done!

I find carring heavy objects in my higher heels hard, and as for stair cases in such footwear while carrying.. wow - that is a very respectable effort!!

(I wear heels 80% of the time and wouldn't do that...I have once or twice been in such a situation, but I find it too hard, so I would change to flats/ go barefoot for safety or get someone to carry it for me...he he)

Shafted I am not bad with stairs but I grew up in a theather from the 60-70s and I rembet the 35mm film and those cases with 3 reels each are no fun my hats off to you that you can handle it

Just imagine now those reels (anywhere from 5-9 2000 ft. reels of 35mm) all in one or 2 boxes.

How am I doing? 5" heels NO platform.

Can't believe this is still here. lol

The more I do it, the easier it's becoming. Now, I don't wear my heels outside, so it's just my staircase, but just the other day I walked them without holding the banister. When I proudly announced my accomplishment to the Mrs, she said she was unaware I'd gone upstairs, as I was very quiet. Is that what we're calling graceful?

[JSLS]

Wow. My post was last...well, this will look kinda silly now haha! Today I was in my boots, just relaxing, doing some work around the house, and went upstairs to the bathroom. On the way down, wobbled, and slipped, but no harm done. I think perhaps I just got a bit too confident with it, a little complacent, and should have been concentrating.

JSLS, Watch out for that gravity stuff. It'll grab ya when ya least expect it. It works every time, too. Be careful! LOL Steve

This last Thursday I had to carry "The Hunger Games" up to the projection room. Seven full 2000ft. reels in one box. It was a heavy sucker (75-100 lbs.). I had to take it up one step at a time but I got it there in heels. In coming down those same stairs I have to side step due to the step landings being very narrow.

That's nearly as heavy as me. I can carry a hundred books at a time, but only in my head or my heart. And I still can't do the stairs very well.

Oh to have it all on a hard drive.

Depending on what one's attire is, What may be carried at the time and who's looking? I fallen more times (up and down) that I wish to think about (thoughts of carpet burn knees and bum) either barefooted of in flats, incidentily I happened to mention to a female friend as she tripped at work that I only (to date) trip up in flats. Not sure if I really care, yes I do turn slightly but as I don't currently wear skirts I can pass on that. On a basis I am still standing thats ok with me Al

Depends on the heel height to be honest. Personally, I don't go over 3.5 inches, so it makes life easier.

I have no problem with 4" non platform. 5" is a little slower
