Today's woman wears sneakers. She wears them because they're practical, because they're comfortable, because there are a thousand obstacles to face in the urban jungle around every corner. BUT this woman also loves heels: gaining 10 cm and looking fabulous in her casual, perfectly accessorized outfit. However, one always considers the day's agenda when embarking on a 10 cm journey. What do you do when you go away for the weekend? Is it possible or not? We needed proof.
It's wise, if you're planning to wear your heels for a romantic weekend, for example! - to prepare for the different stages that will make up the stay. So I mapped out the "city-trip" weekend to see if, in theory, I would manage. 1- Getting to the train station with my overnight bag on my shoulder: I strongly advise traveling very light because it becomes difficult to carry a heavy bag when you're perched high. 2- Once on the train, sitting for 2 hours is the key foot-rest step before the big leap! It even allows you to secretly admire your shoes. 3- Leaving the station and taking a taxi... Easy.
To embark on a weekend in heels, it's essential to identify the stages where you'll need to walk for more than 10 minutes: a one-hour museum visit or a shopping spree are essential activities during a city trip, and during these, you'll need to optimize your walk – perched. First, changing rooms with outfits to try on allow you to temporarily go barefoot. Every barefoot moment between two heel sessions is precious and allows you to get back on your heels for double the planned time! Then, walking sessions are perfectly manageable if they are punctuated by breaks on a terrace.
The truth is, these heels elevated every outfit, they were magnificent and made me feel magnificent. Plus, it's rare that I wear this pair I adore so much, and seeing them on my feet delighted me... after all, a weekend of love in sneakers is fine, but in unforgettable shoes, it's bound to be unforgettable. If you're now convinced and want to take on this challenge too, I recommend checking out My Pretty French Shoes for the perfect pair, the right height, the right color – in a word, the one that will suit you beautifully.
