Hola Shirley S.

In this sentence, No sé caminar con tacones altos is correct — cómo isn’t needed because in Spanish, saber + infinitive already means to know how to do something.

If you added cómo, it would mean “I don’t know how (in what way) to walk…” — which sounds unnatural here.

Hope that clears it up!

Un saludo

Silvia
