What to Pack for Your VIP Heel-Walking Session

Darling, if you’re reading this, you’ve done one of the most glamorous things you can do: you’ve booked a VIP Heel-Walking session with Walking in Heels. Champagne moment! Whether you’re prepping for your first confidence-boosting class or coming back for a seasonal strut, consider this your chic guide to gliding through the door (or logging into Zoom) with total poise and not a single ounce of stress.

Let’s squash those pre-lesson nerves before they even have a chance to wobble. Walking in Heels is as much about feeling empowered and seen as it is about mastering posture and turns. So let’s talk through exactly what to pack, what to wear, and how to ready both your soles and your soul for a truly transformative (and fabulously fun) experience.

Your Essential Heel-Walking Checklist

Confidence might be the most important thing you bring, but these bits and bobs will help you feel prepared, practical, and ready for that star entrance.

1. Bring the Heels You Want to Master

• – **Your Trickiest Pair:** Always wanted to conquer those sky-high stilettos hiding at the back of your wardrobe? This is the moment. Bring any pairs you’d love to walk in with more confidence, be it skyscraper platforms, kitten heels, wedding shoes, or statement boots. The more, the merrier!
• **Event Shoes:** Have a big do coming up (wedding, prom, work event, Halloween party)? Pack the actual pair you’ll be wearing for real-world practice.
• **Everyday Favourites:** Comfortable go-tos are great for warm-ups and for learning good form you can apply to any style.

2. Outfits That Make You Feel Fabulous (And Let You Move)

• – **Dress for Confidence:** Pick clothes that express who you are, maybe something you’d wear to the big event you’re preparing for, or just an outfit you feel unstoppable in. Skirts, dresses, or trousers are all welcome, comfort is queen.
• **Practicality Counts:** Choose pieces you can move in. Avoid super-restrictive styles so you can stretch, pivot, and pose to your heart’s content.

3. Accessories & Essentials

• – **Spare Tights or Stockings:** Handy for testing how different fabrics affect your shoes’ grip and feel. If you usually wear bare legs, that’s gorgeous too!
• **Plasters or Cushions (Optional):** For peace of mind if you know you’re susceptible to blisters, though we’ll share plenty of tips for avoiding these later.
• **Water Bottle:** Hydration is another secret weapon for those confidence-boosting struts.

4. Your Mindset: Open, Playful, and Ready to Shine

• – **Leave Perfection at the Door:** This is a judgement-free, joy-filled zone. Every wobble is a step towards a stronger walk and a bigger smile.
• **Come With Curiosity:** Ask questions. Express your worries. We’re here to solve every heel dilemma, from balance woes to style pairings.
• **Expect Video Feedback:** If you’re happy, we’ll capture before-and-after clips to show your transformation. Think of it as your own personal glow-up reel!

What’s Provided at Your Session

At Walking in Heels, we’ve thought of all the little touches to make your experience comfortable, private, and polished, so you can focus on elevating your stride:

• – **Private Studio (for in-person sessions):** A safe, stylish space just for you, with mirrors, props, and plenty of space to strut your stuff.
• **Personal Attention:** Maribel, your expert coach and cheerleader (and Lucie Clayton Finishing School graduate!), will guide you every step of the way.
• **Video equipment (if you’re comfortable):** See your progress and keep memories for motivation.

For virtual sessions, simply make a bit of space, practice in front of a mirror (if you have one), and let us bring the glamour right into your living room.

What You *Don’t* Need to Worry About

• – **Judgement (There’s None Here):** We coach people of all backgrounds, abilities, genders, and heel experience levels. This is your space to blossom at your own pace.
• **Prior Knowledge:** This isn’t a test. You don’t need to know the difference between a pump and a peep-toe, just come with an open mind.
• **Buying New Shoes for the Session:** Work with what you have! If you’re considering shopping for new ones, ask Maribel for expert advice on fit and style at your session.

Top Tips From Maribel Before Your VIP

• – *Relax and enjoy, it’s meant to be fun.* Don’t let nerves steal your sparkle.
• *The more honest you are about your heel hurdles, the more personalised your results.*
• *You’re worthy of confidence at every skill level, own your unique walk.*
