I feel more confident. What is it that’s making you self conscious? Being taller, not walking correctly in them, standing out, etc.?

You can practice walking in them at home by recording yourself walking around and making tweaks depending on what it looks and feels like. Unless you’re wearing pleasers out to the mall or something you are definitely not doing too much. But even then, fuck it, if you like them who cares? Life is too short to worry about boring, judgmental people

And pro tip, walk heel to toe in thicker, shorter heels, but focus your weight on the balls of your feet with taller, skinny heels (like pumps or stilettos)

i’ve tried pleasers and they’re easier to walk in than a regular heel

I would wear 4”+ heels in high school almost every day (I hated sneakers and sandals) and honestly I get that, walking on my toes has always been easier than the awkward heel to toe with shorter heels. Btw if you need encouragement to do it now, I’m only 26 and the arches of my feet cannot handle tall heels anymore :/ they get sore and cramped up. So enjoy it while you can!
