DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEELS (Part 1)

Heels are a woman's best friend. The right kind of shoe can boost your confidence and transform your entire look. Those who are close to me knows how crazy I am about heels. However, there are a great number of heels and knowing the names of heels can save you much time in finding the exact pair of footwear you want and give you more options to choose from. Before we talk about the different types of heels let's answer some common questions ladies ask.

HOW DO I CHOOSE COMFORTABLE HEELS?.

* The best way to choose comfortable heels is to try them on to know if they fit perfectly.

* Put into consideration 'when you'd be wearing them, how much walking or standing you'll need to do, what surfaces you'd be on and how often you already wear heels'....

WHAT TYPE OF HEELS SHOULD I WEAR?.

The heels you wear should suit both your style and the occasion. E.g Stilletos are great for dinner dates and in corporate environments, while Cuban boots are good for an evening walk around the city.

CAN HEELS BE COMFORTABLE?.

Heels can be 'relatively' comfortable but you just need to get used to them. If you're used to wearing flats, you'd have to build up some stamina because heels does a lot of things, it just doesn't give us a signature look, it also changes how we walk and how we stand. If you're a beginner, opt for low blocked heels or wedges to give you comfort, balance and stability.

Every heel has its own typical name. A lot of women cannot deny their affection for heels. Want to know the name of that heel you love so much? Or get a chance to decide which you love best? Then, follow me as I reveal the different types of heels.

1. STILLETOS: Stilletos is seen as the founder of heels. Stilletos elongates the legs, it is about 4 or 6 inches tall with a pointy thin heels. Stilletos suits all body types especially petite and average height ladies.

2. PUMPS: Pumps are simply high heels and are the closest to Stilletos; the only difference is the very flat base. Pumps are classic and every lady should own at least a pair. Pumps are perfect for your weekly engagements and can be effortlessly combined with any outfit.

3. ANKLE STRAP HEELS: If you're really not into Stilletos heels, strap heels is a good substitute as the strap on the ankle helps to hold the ankles firmly and keeps it from swinging too much.

4. PLATFORM HEELS: It is called a platform heel because of the thick sole. The thick sole aids comfort and also adds a few inches to the height of the heel. Platform heels are best for night outings.

5. WEDGE: Wedge is the best option for beginners. Wedges are comfortable and balanced. It comes in different heights and sizes.

6. CUT - OUT HEELS: Cut - out heels have creative patterns which turns your feet into a fashionable piece of art. It is usually 3 to 4 inches high.

7. PEEP TOES: It is called peep toes heels because it has the toes peeping out. It is very comfy, easy to slay and helps to give the feet some breathing room.

8. GLADIATOR HEELS: These heels are so sexy and is great on short dresses. They can be high but the ropes tied around the legs keeps it firm in place.

9. SLING BACK HEELS: These heels has a strap only at the back which secures the feet on the shoe.
