Walking in high heels

The 5 do's:

Start with a pedicure! Do not even think of wearing high heels without perfectly manicured toes, or you can not consider yourself a lady!

They hurt less the more you wear them, so persevere and practice!

Don't ever set eyes on a pair of shoes and "love" buy them! You need to walk around in the shop for around 10 minutes to know if they fit your arch.Try them on a hard surface as carpet is deceiving.

Start off with a low heel of one or two inches and build your self up to four inches. Your ankle and foot will need to get used to the arch of the shoe at each height.

When walking keep the gap in between your legs as narrow as possible, your legs straight and keep the toes facing forward. This will make walking more ladylike and less like Popeye!

Follow those 5 rules and you are in for the catwalks!

When Crocs Attack

Hurry!

By now, you have probably heard the story of Crocs – not the rugged skinned reptiles but the equally strange – looking shoes that have become a global phenomenon. It’s quite late: Three good friends form Boulder, Colorado, go sailing in the Caribbean, where a foam clog one had bought in Canada inspires them to build a business around it. Despite a lack of funding and the derision of foot fashionistas, the multicolored Crocs – with their Swiss-cheese perforations, cushy orthotic beds, and over- preventing material – become a global smash. Celebrities adopt them. Young people adore them. The company goes from $ 1 million in revenue in 2003 to a projected $ 322 in 2006. Crocks Inc.’s IPO in February was the richest in footwear history, and the company has a market cap of more than $1 billion. But there is more than luck to Crock’s astonishing success.

There is an additional story that is equally interesting. It's about the invention of the accessories to the Crocs. Read here (Link) how a stay-it-home mom invented something that made her $ 10 million richer in less than a year.
