Aching feet
Ankle injuries
Posture issues
Joint degeneration
Osteoarthritis

Muscle stiffnes
Bunions, i.e bony growths at the base of big toe.

The last picture in the image section explains this high heel damage diagrammatically. Extensive studies on high heel wear were conducted by American biomechanists and biology scientists from the United Kingdom. The results confirmed the risks of damage and further added that wearing high heels will have negative effects on women’s lifestyle. Wearing high heels over a period of time not only drastically reduced the flexibility of women’s feet, but also made them less efficient in flat-shoed activities like running. And women wearing high heels generally have a tendency to walk slowly, which in turn hampers their walking styles and much needed physical exercise.

Therefore, it is always better to wear flat, light and flexible footwear for long term health. Sacrificing health as well as comfort for the sake of fashion is not a good idea. It is a common sense that higher the heels of a woman’s wear, the greater would be the risk of her damage, as mentioned above. If you are a fashion freek, you can consider wearing cute pair of flats or non-heeled boots, both at work and social gatherings. And if you cannot help but wear high heels, it is a good idea to at least regulate your wearing habits, like flat shoes for work, and high heels for occasional parties and social gatherings. Women who are compelled to wear high heels frequently must do stretching exercises regularly, like standing on a step with toes, making the heels drop down. This may reduce the damage to a certain extent.
