Wearing
high heels is also especially stressful on the joints of the foot because all
of the body's weight rests there; the foot is then forced into a narrow,
pointed toe box, compounding the problem.
The
wearing of high-heeled shoes is a prime example of women inviting foot
problems. Doctors of podiatric medicine see no value in high heels (generally
defined as pumps with heels of more than two inches). They believe them to be
biomechanically and orthopedically unsound, citing medical, postural, and
safety faults of such heels.
Heels also alter muscle and tendon structure. If you choose to wear heels, try not to wear them all the time and do regular stretching.
