Walking in heels and falling/tripping

I can relate, even though I am wearing flats- I am very clumsy! I told my dad his one job while we walk down the aisle is to make sure I don't fall!

Do you wear heels regularly?

If you don't- go for a small wedge/kitten heel or flats.

I don't see the reason to reach well out side your normal activity for your wedding to make it something you aren't.

Are you nervous about this particular pair of heels, or about walking in heels in general?

Practice walking in the shoes, and try wearing a similar style or height to work (if that's appropriate) to get yourself used to the height! Or you can always wear flats! I don't last long in heels at all and decided to go for comfort

I've never tried the stabilizers but you have time to purchase them and try them out.

Practice!

I have experience walking in heels and I busted my butt on my wedding day seconds before the rehearsal. I did not scuff my heels because I wanted them to look nice for photos and that was my biggest mistake. Fresh heels + hard wood aisle = Me on the floor and everyone freaking out

I have never used those stabilizers, but my best advice (aside from wearing shoes you're comfortable in) if you insist on going for higher heels is to walk like you're on the runway. Just practice at home at first but the more you walk "with a purpose" (head up, back straight, moving quickly, and with definitive steps) the better off you will be. If you focus on how unstable you are, you're going to end up looking like a baby deer just learning to walk.

Buy dupe heels. Payless version of whatever it is you would like to wear. Then wear those often leading up to the wedding, so it can become 2nd nature. Definitely break in your real ones. Try your real ones at your venue to make sure you have traction. If you don't there are a couple of things you can do. Score the bottoms of the heals at the ball, add a small piece of duck tape at the ball, or if it's normal flooring, not a runner, you can have the floor mopped with 1 part coke 2 parts water. It will help give the floor some grab.

Consider a platform wedge for stability... I won't wear skinny tall heels anymore.

I have to walk down this GIGANTIC stair case and I am as clumsy as they come. Hoping my dad can keep me on my feet haha

This is why I'm wearing flats.

Have you already chosen your shoes? If not maybe find shoes in a heel closer to what you are comfortable in. If you have, and you are positive they are the ones you want to wear, then put them on and practice as much as possible in the house.

I typically walk heel to toe. I don't know if that's proper, but it gives me stability. I don't worry about rushing. Nice, even steps.

And I always think of Charlize Theron's words of wisdom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2cUtdv99ig

This is literally my biggest fear on the big day, I am a huge klutz. I had originally planned to wear a pair of wedges but I fell in love with a pair of heels on Etsy, thankfully they aren't terribly high (about 3 1/2). I don't plan on going for the stabilizers, I am just going to get myself used to them and move slowly. I bought a pair of Kate Spade Keds to wear after the ceremony and dances so I am not stuck in heels and worried about falling on my behind all night
