"As any devoted STF knows, learning to walk in high heels is practically a requirement for being well-dressed. Teetering around on four-inch stems isn&amp;#x27;t always easy, which is why we rely on a slew of tips and tricks to help make it look like it is...but this latest one just may be the most pragmatic approach yet, which is why we&amp;#x27;re bringing it to you in honor of Reader Appreciation Day! What would you dolls say if we told you the only thing standing between you and the sky-high stilettos of your dreams is...a number two pencil!? Over at Fashion Pulse Daily, they interviewed podiatrist Dr. Suzanne Levine about maximizing your high heel comfort, and she suggested some foot exercises to make it less stressful, including &amp;quot;picking up pencils with your toes.&amp;quot; Once you strengthen those muscles, it&amp;#x27;ll make a long strut in a severely-pitched shoe feel less torturous! She also suggests rolling a ball back and forth under the ball of your foot. What do you gals think of Dr. Levine&amp;#x27;s little trick? Would you be willing to try it? Just how dexterous are you with your feet? Do you find that the more you exercise them, the easier it is to walk in high heels? Discuss! PLUS...get another strange tip for making stilettos more comfortable...AND...see why Manolo Blahnik says the beach is the best place to learn!
