High heels are a predominantly feminine item although, in some cases, they are also worn by men. Men who have height problems generally use elevated shoes (with a wedge hidden inside that will make them appear taller without attracting too much attention). Aside from height problems, there are men who like to wear high heels simply for aesthetic reasons. If that's the case for you too, keep reading these tips.
Steps
Step 1. Choose a pair of heeled shoes
Go to a shoe store and find the pair you like best, you will probably have to go to the women's section and ask for special models if your shoe size is quite large. In some outlets and in specific online stores you may find models suitable for men. If you've never worn heels before, start by trying on a pair of wedges - shoes that have a smooth toe-to-heel rise - before you want to wear a real heel, especially if it's tall and thin. With wedges it is easier to walk because the weight of the body is distributed evenly over the entire sole of the foot, so you will not have difficulty maintaining balance. Many women love heels, if you know a friend who has the same size as you you could ask them to try on their shoes. If you feel embarrassed, make it look like a joke.
Step 2. Remove your shoes and socks
Heeled shoes are much more snug. To wear them better you should use a pair of thin nylon stockings, or sheer knee-highs.
Step 3. Put on your shoes with heels
Put them on like you would any other type of shoe, simply by sliding your foot into them. Make sure it's the right size. If they are too tight they could hurt you and if they are too loose it could be difficult to walk on without falling.
Step 4. Try walking on it
Walking in high heels can be difficult at first, especially if you are a man. You could ask your friend for advice who often wears shoes like this.
Step 5. Practice gradually
You won't make a good impression wearing heels until you learn to walk in them safely. Start with lower, wider heels and gradually move to more difficult styles to wear.
Advice
- Choose shoes of the right size. If they are too small or too big they will hurt your feet and you will not be able to walk on them. Go shopping for shoes at the end of the day, when you try them on your feet will be more tired, and therefore more voluminous. You will reduce the risk of buying shoes that are too tight.
- If you don't know how to walk in heels, you can ask for the advice and help of a friend. There are also online video tutorials on how to practice and become confident.
- If in the women's departments of shoe stores you can't find your size, search the internet, you will surely find models for men or for larger sizes in general. Men usually wear at least two more sizes than a woman, it might be something less in the case of open front sandals. Heels are usually designed for thin feet, look for larger-sized models in department stores.
- You can choose to match the sandals with a matching nail polish, especially black, pink or red. It is always advisable to coordinate your shoes with the rest of the clothing.
- Some girls may help you wear heels the right way.

- Do not take your shoes off and on again in the same day, if your foot has swollen they may not fit.
