Diva-licious! That’s the only word for leopard print heels. A pair of leopard print heels ought to star in the wardrobe of every woman who wants a classic that never goes out of style, and never gets boring.
Don’t take our word for it. A quick online search for leopard print heels will turn up more spots than on a whole jungle full of big cats. You’ll find them everywhere, from traditional sites such as Spiegel to the trendiest places such as Torrid.
Popular Leopard Print Heels
For instance, Spiegel offers a leopard print leather pump accented with a bow tie on the vamp of a rounded peep toe. The 3-inch covered stiletto heel is an excellent height for women who haven’t worn high heels in a while. A 3-inch level makes it possible to practice walking in a more comfortable high heel before tackling the heights of 4- and 5-inch heels. A good example of the latter is Naughty Monkey’s “Shock and Awe” party pumps in leopard print pony hair, with a 1-inch platform and a 4-inch heel.
While moms are checking at the high heels at their favorite traditional sites, their daughters are rockin’ the Tan/Black Leopard Fabric Ithika Heels by Jessica Simpson offered by Torrid.com. Talk about some fierce jungle cats! These peep-toe beauties are covered in a fine ribbed-weave fabric, with a leather and brass ring strap detail on the vamp. They reach for the heights with a 5-1/2 stacked wood heel and a 1-inch covered platform midsole.
What’s more, heels don’t have to be towering to make a pair of leopards roar. Neiman-Marcus offers a Manolo Blahnik leopard print thong heel that comes in beige, orange or red. This slip-on with a thong strap has a 2-1/4-inch cover heel that’s as charming as it is comfortable. This is a great height for anyone who’s just learning how to manage the art of walking in high heels – if you can manage the $500 price tag.
Speaking of walking in high heels, don’t make the mistake of thinking you can simply slip on a pair of 5-inch spikes and walk away. Walking in high heels is an art that has to be mastered, both to be fully enjoyed and to avoid falling and injuring yourself.
Here’s the way a true diva conquers the heights:
Put on your new leopard print high heels and stand in front of a full-length mirror. Don’t you look absolutely fabulous! Now turn slightly in each direction to get a feel for the heels. Then walk slowly across the room, turn and walk back. Be sure to take your first walks across hard-surfaced floors or low-pile carpets to avoid catching your heels on something slick or shaggy.
Pay attention to your posture while you’re walking. Stand up straight, keep your legs together and put your feet out straight in front of you. Keeping practicing until you can walk, turn, walk and stop without a wobble.
Now you’re doing the diva thing in your jungle-hot leopard print heels!
