I have a pair of 3-inchers that are so easy to walk in, but also a pair of 1.5-ers that I wobble on. I find in general that I need a slightly thicker heel and cheat for height by going with a platform pump. Kitten heels and spindly stilettos are just complete no-nos for me.

I have a shoe shopping planned for after work today, and I couldn't sleep since saturday night 'cuz I was too excited over it (now i feel like claiming i'm sick and skipping out of work early lol). One question though, is there a trick on how to WALK on stilettos like these? I own at least 2 pairs of stilettos but i'm really bad at walking on them.. any tips?
