Fashion Hack: Walk in Heels

There have been no shortage of runway falls in the past few seasons. At left, we have poor Elise Crombez taking a dive at Proenza Schouler SS 07, and just the other day a model at the Dior 2008 Resort show (yes, resort is already here, can you believe it?!), had some high heel-related difficulties herself. And, as I'm sure you've noticed, sky high heels and platforms--often exceeding 5 inches--are everywhere at the moment.

Even if you're comfortable walking in your 110mm Louboutins, you may want to check out Legwork, a workout video dedicated to the art of walking in heels. The preview offers tips for correcting "wobbly ankles," "stiff knees," and (my personal favorite) "gripping of the thighs." Featured in Vogue Paris, among other esteemed pubs, the 30-minute DVD features exercises from professional dancers for grace and stamina as well as relief techniques from podiatrists. It's available in English and French, and on sale for $19.95 at www.legworkdvd.com. My thinking: judging from the  If you're going to drop half a grand (or more) on a pair of 110mm heels, you may as well invest a fraction of that in a fun DVD that allows you to work them with confidence.

Who wouldn't need lessons when wearing a pair of high heels. I need as much thigh gripping as I can get:-)

Great video! I agree with a few of the other comments left about how refreshing it is to see non-perfection in an industry so obsessed with it. :)

I have also skidded across the floor a few times - but that's because I'm so heavy footed I wear out my heels to the nail in a matter of days! All power to the models. I have heard that wearing heels improves your pelvic floor muscles - one of the few benefits I suppose!

[That hurts... emotionaly]

Well, it's always nice to see someone falling on the podiom but nicer how she can handle the situation - if she can..

I think the shoes have something to do with the falls and also the bright lights probably blinds them until they mis-step.

[High Heel Shoes Diva]

The falls indeed do make us all smile.

Funnily enough i took a heels tumble not that long ago and i was sober!!! even had a little smile to myself then.

I dont get the point of splurging on shoes and fearing the concept of walking (thats how I would be: overcome with fear at the concept of putting one foot in front of the next) I am so bad with heels and yet they look sooooo faahbulous on others...maybe I should just get that DVD...lol

The truth is that human feet were not designed for high heels. Wearing high heels can change the structure and shape of the feet, which not only causes pain along the way, but may also inhibit proper functioning of feet over time.

Women experience pain when they wear high heels because their feet slide forward into the shoes, inevitably forcing their bodies to redistribute their weight while creating unnatural pressure points and disrupting the natural alignment of our body.

There are numerous foot ailments related to wearing high heels. Some of the most common ones are metatarsalgia (ball of foot pain), bunions, callous and corns, Achilles Tendonitis, hammertoe, and many others.

Wearing orthotics for high heels will probably relieve some of the discomfort.

You can find more information on this topic by going to http://www.footminders.com and clicking on "Metatarsalgia".

110mm! It takes a lot of courage especially after a few drinks and no food in your stomach.

It's all pomp ansd circumstance until someone kisses the catwalk. It adds a bit of levity to an otherwise formal affair. Ironically...the spills give extra publicity to otherwise little discussed shows.

Let's face it, the average Joe can't afford $10,000-$30,000 for an authentic Rolex watch. This is a luxury that only a few elite people can afford. But this doesn't mean that we are not all entitled to a bit of luxury in our lives. I say go with a replica, it cost 1/100 of the price and only a professional jeweler can tell the difference. www.replicawatchfinder.com
