Start off by walking on your toes. You basically have to learn to walk "backwards": walking barefoot or in flats requires putting your heel down first and rolling the foot forward to your toes, while in heels you either lead with the ball of your foot (the easiest way to start practicing) or plant your whole foot down at once.

Start by walking on your toes (not really your "toes", but the ball of the foot) because it's a sensation you're more likely to be familiar with. Once your comfortable walking in the shoes without letting the pointy little heel bear any weight, you can start rolling back onto it a little to get the feel. Get the rolling motion/time smaller and smaller until you're stepping your whole foot down at once.

As pointed out, walking like this uses different muscles than normal walking so you may be a little sore after the first few times, but it gets better with practice. Planting the whole foot down is better than constant ball-heel ball-heel stepping because it's faster, but you really have to be careful as the more weight you allow to be put on the heel, the more likely you are to turn your ankle.

Make sure you have good quality shoes. Makes a huge difference.

Don't lean forward. You have to consciouslly put your hips forward, and it feels a bit like you are leaning backwards at first, because of the change of centre of gravity.

Watch Julia Roberts walk in heels. Commit to NEVER walking like that...

Start with 2 or 3 inch heel, rather than 4".

And, finally, take up yoga to deal with the muscle and back problems!

Hold your toes up with your hands.

I found walking in wedges to be a nice beginning since a lot of the balance changes are there with less worrying about foot placement initially. Definitely go for chunky heels before you move on to stilettos.
