The Perth-based independent shoemaker said: "Everyone has their comfort zone. Some women run around all day in two inches but find it hard to step up to three. "Thankfully it is possible to train yourself how to wear heels. It's like exercise - you teach your body to get used to the sensation. "In high heels, all the muscles in your legs, bum and feet work differently. If you're used to flats, start low and go up a notch at a time." Helen says it is worth buying good quality shoes with built-in support and cushioning. She said: "The balance of the shoe is critical - the toe should be raised slightly when you look at it on the shelf. "Also check the back. It should be slightly pinched at the top if it's good quality." THE MODEL FORMER Miss Scotland Nieve Jennings is a dedicated heel wearer. Her favourites are a pair of 5in Christian Louboutins, similar to those sported by Posh. She said: "Heels are a beautiful, feminine treat every woman should enjoy. "I've just learned to suffer the pain. After five fashion shoots in a day, the backs of my heels and the arch ofmy foot ache but I've never needed to use insoles. "High heels should never be clumpy - a thin stiletto is best. I give my feet a rest in Gucci trainers or [[http://www.inugg.com/ | ugg boots]] but mostly I'm in heels. I'd tell people who aren't used to heels to buy only soft leather shoes and get sponge soles." ==Tozzi sets scene for more drama== NOT content with being an actor on the rise, Cronulla's Tahyna Tozzi has launched a career as a film producer. Tozzi, 22, said she had started Avakea Productions in Los Angeles with fellow Australian starlets Teresa Palmer and Nathalie Kelley.
