Block heels provide more support, and the larger surface area helps distribute your weight more evenly. But are block heels better for your feet? Do you know that heeled shoes are better for your feet than completely flat ones?

 

Block heels are shoes with broader and thicker bases, providing better support and stability than stilettos, which have narrow points for you to balance. Although these shoes are already winning on the comfort aspect, they are still under the high shoe category. Anyone who wants to walk in them gracefully would need a few tips and tricks up their sleeve.

 

Block heel shoe is very affordable. Sometimes prices are low to high, high to low, for we have quality and value shoe products and services that brand Z. Thankfully can rank; the team at Wildfire is here to help you in this overwhelming situation.

 

There needs to be more than owning an excellent pair of block heels. You must strut in them and exude confidence.

 

Tip 1 - Expect Wobbly First Times

 

There will be a bit of discomfort in any situation you experience the first time. Whether it's your first time wearing block heels or you haven't for a while, you will wobble. Expect a curse or shriek once in a while as you make your way around.

 

Wearing block heels or any shoe with height will knock you off balance. This is because our bodies move forward due to additional pressure on the backs of our feet, which also affects how we balance and walk. As a result, you may feel awkward or unsteady wearing block heels.

 

They may also strain muscles and body parts that have never been under stress.

 

Tip 2 - Practice Makes Perfect

 

It's best to practice walking on your toes around the home even before you get your new block heels because it will strengthen your calves and improve your confidence and balance. Then, once you've gotten your pair from Wildfire, test them on as many different types of floorings as you can, such as carpet, slippery surfaces, and stairways.

 

Tip 3 - Remember, it's Heel to Toe - Not the Other Way Around

 

Wearing block heels would require putting your heel down first before the toe. Never put your whole foot down at once. Your centre of gravity changes when you wear block heels; therefore, maintaining good posture is essential.

 

Maneuvering staircases can be tricky, but you must secure a foothold on the first foot before putting the second foot down. Maximize using a guardrail by hanging on to it when you can. We believe in being safe than sorry.

 

Tip 4 - Take Small Steps and Walk Slowly

 

Maintaining your equilibrium can be challenging since block heels may alter your balance. For example, did you know that your stride gets shorter as your shoe height rises? As such, it's best to take smaller steps.

 

Take your time walking from point A to point B in your block heels because it keeps you safe and gives you confidence.

 

Tip 5 - Lean Back Slightly

 

You might discover that you desire to go more quickly than your block heels allow, so you hunch your neck forward to make up the difference. Allowing yourself to lean just a little bit back when walking in block heels will counterbalance your tendency to lean forward, which results in an odd appearance.

 

Tip 6 - Envision a Straight Line to the End Goal

 

Even if you felt like a star in Wildfire's shoes, it would be good to add a little hip shimmy while walking in an imaginary straight line. Look at your goal point and envision a straight line leading to it. Do not look down when walking in block heels.

 

Tip 7 - Ensure that Your Block Heels Fit

 

Ill-fitting block heels make walking naturally difficult, if not impossible. So either you remove them accidentally or hurt yourself in the process. One way to ensure your block heels fit perfectly is to break them in.

 

A quick and straightforward way to break them in is wearing thick socks while walking around the house. This process will slightly stretch your block heels while shaping them to fit your feet. But did you know that wearing thick socks and wiggling your toes while blow-drying your block heels will expand them?

 

There's no reason to get blisters when you can stretch them to fit your feet perfectly.

 

Buying The Correct Heel Will Determine Your Comfort Level

 

We mentioned how block heels are the best when it comes to providing height and comfort at the same time. But, unfortunately, only some kinds of high shoes are equal. While stilettos can elongate your legs and make you look extra sexy, they are called killers for a reason.

 

Some even joke that you can use them as weapons! Choosing block heels will alleviate the impact on your feet with each step. You'll thank us later on for our tips and the recommendation to choose block heels because reducing the wobbliness releases tension and soreness in your lower back.
