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.
