Everybody knows that high heels can bring elegance and femininity to any outfit, but few know that they can also cause health problems when it comes to feet joints and even spine. Yes, high heels might have many advantages to your look but they might have disadvantages too.
Let’s talk about both, one at a time.
Although the advantages have immediate effect, the disadvantages are seen in time but only if we exaggerate wearing high heels. It’s best to don’t wear high heels every day, but alternate them with flats and other shoes with different heel sizes. If your job doesn’t allow you to wear Mary Jane shoes, and then come with them to work and change there with a pair of shoes with high heels, it’s better than nothing.
I like to spare my high heel shoes for special occasions so when I’ll wear them, the effect will be increased a lot.
While there are so many health problems which may occur by wearing too often high heels, don’t imagine you’re safer wearing only flats. Doctors recommend for our feet health to wear shoes with a slight heel, around 1-2 inches. Depending on your silhouette and weight, the higher the heels, the more problems might appear in time.
Hint: if you suffer from a blistered foot, use some rubbing alcohol on the part which rubs your heel before wearing the shoes.
– never buy smaller or bigger shoes than you need no matter how much you might like them, you won’t only look silly but you will damage your feet and… you have one pair of those, remember?
Hint: to enlarge a shoe with half size, fill two sandwich bags with water, place them into your shoes, put the shoes into the refrigerator until the water turns to ice and then get them out, leave the ice to melt, dry on the shoes and you’re good to go!
In the end, whatever your choice might be, with or without high heels, I hope I’ve helped you decide and make walking on high heels more accessible for you.
