The Best High Heels for Beginners
1/17Wearing heels for the first (or one of the first) times can be intimidating. No matter what you’re doing, you don’t want to end up tripping, slipping, or falling on your face. So if you’re just starting to experiment with new heights, we've rounded up the styles that will allow you to seamlessly enter the realm of fancy footwear.
First, you don’t want to go too high — keeping the heel around two inches is a safe bet. And remember that the wider the heel, the more stability you’ll have, especially if you’re walking on uneven ground (beware of cobblestones!). Lastly, an ankle strap is your friend, it helps to keep the shoe in place, no matter where you feet may decide to go.
