There's a reason some people love wearing high heels—and it's not that they're especially comfortable. It's because they're (hands down) the most flattering footwear. But take a scroll through Instagram, and
you'll find the funny fact that models and bloggers have a trick for occasions when heels aren't an option, and what we'll now refer to as "Barbie feet." While Barbie's plastic feet are permanently moulded into a pointed position, Instagram pros are whipping out the pose when they want to elongate their legs in photographs.
To master this pose, there's only one requirement: to act like you're wearing an invisible pair of high heels, even though there's nothing but air under your arches. From the front, it can be hard to tell you're doing anything at all, but from the side, you can see that you're balanced solely on the ball of your foot. Read on and you'll find a breakdown of exactly how to nail this photogenic trick.
