If it is your first time in heels bring socks and it is suggested to wear stilleto booties open toe between 3.5âł to 4âłÂ heel to start and work your way to a higher heel. We also suggest heels with strong ankle support.

Knee pads so that you can slide around on the floor comfortably. Just make sure that your outfit allows you to move freely and doesnât restrict your movement in any way.
