Question

Q.2 A) Read the extract and complete the activities given below. (12)
When shoes were first made, they were made flat without a heel.
Since normal walking requires that the heel of the foot should strike the ground before the
toes, these early shoes used to wear out quickly at the heel, prompting shoemakers to
reinforce the heel, and so creating heeled shoes.
Women have been wearing high- heeled shoes for centuries in the pursuit of
fashion. However, regularly wearing shoes with high heels can be hazardous. The biggest
risk, perhaps, is losing your balance and breaking an ankle. Wearing high heels interferes
with your normal gait. They throw your weight forward, making it difficult to sustain upright
balance. They force you to use a lot of extra muscular effort to keep from falling
forward. Much of this extra effort is concentrated in the lower back arch, which can lead to
back pain. Experts warn that high heels can also result in a variety of foot problems,
including metatarsalgia, which is pain in the ball of the foot. Another condition called
Morton's neuroma, which is 10 times more common in women than men, is caused by the
thickening of tissue around a nerve between the third and fourth toes. It usually envelops in
response to imitation and excessive pressure, such as the burden of weight high heels place
on the ball of the foot. However, if one cannot resist wearing 'heels, the following tips can
help to keep your feet healthy. Always wear the correct fit. Have both feet measured the
next time you buy shoes. You will probably find that one foot is larger than the other
always buy shoes to fit the larger foot, never buy shoes that are too tight. Buy shoes later in
the day when your feet are a bit swollen. Never wear a heel higher than 6.5 cm. Only buy
heels that you are comfortable in.​
