Summarize this article in one sentence.
If you’re new to heels, your natural inclination may be to walk toe to heel – resist that temptation! Walking toe to heel provides less stability and looks unnatural. Place your heel down first, then roll to your toe in one fluid motion.  Avoid putting your whole foot down as though you're wearing flats. This will look and feel jarring.  If you're wearing very tall stilettos, land on the outer border of the heel and then roll to your toe. Tall heels may snap if you land directly on the heel. The design of heels forces your stride to be shorter than usual. To combat this and keep yourself upright, take smaller steps to compensate. How much smaller really depends on how tall your heels are and how long your legs are, so experiment at home before you wear your heels in public.  Cut your step size in half and see how that feels. Adjust as needed. Avoid taking tiny baby steps, which looks awkward and unnatural. When you roll fluidly from your heel to your toes, spread your toes slightly inside your shoe. This will give you a little grip and distribute your weight evenly, helping you maintain your balance as your weight shifts to that foot. Moving quickly in heels can look awkward and increase your chances of taking a tumble. Instead, slow down a little. Take each small step as deliberately and naturally as possible. You may feel like you’re walking unusually slowly, but to an onlooker, you will probably just look confident and relaxed!  If you start to feel off balance during your slow stride, don't stiffen up. Try swinging your hips slightly in a figure 8 motion to help you maintain balance. Keep your head up and your shoulders back as you walk in heels. Straighten your spine and tighten your core gently to take some of the pressure off of your feet. This will help you keep your balance, since heels tend to make you lean forward in an effort to feel more stable. In an effort to keep your balance, you may find yourself craning your neck forward while you’re walking in heels. This is especially true if you need to walk a little faster than your heels comfortably allow. To counteract that inclination, lean back ever so slightly. This will compensate for the neck position and make your walk look more natural. Be sure to maintain good posture as you gently lean back. Choose a point straight ahead that you can focus on. Don’t look down at your feet! Look at the goal, and imagine a straight line extending from your feet to that goal point. Then picture yourself walking a perfectly straight line to reach it. Remember to take small steps and walk slowly. It's easy to lose traction and slip when you're wearing heels. To prevent this, invest in tiny pads that you can affix to the bottom of your heels for better grip. You can buy these at shoe stores, big box stores, and online. For a quicker fix, rough up the bottom of your heels with a piece of sandpaper.

Summary:
Walk heel to toe. Take smaller steps. Spread your toes inside your shoe as you take each step. Walk slowly. Maintain good posture. Lean back slightly. Imagine yourself walking in a straight line. Get better grip by applying specially made pads to the soles.
