The Top 10 reasons on why you should avoid wearing high heels
With the country reopening and getting back to normal life, we believe that high heels will be worn more by people. Although high heels look great, wearing this type of footwear can lead to serious long-term health issues.
Here are the top reasons why you should avoid wearing high heels:
high heels push your pelvis forward while walking which can put enormous pressure on your lower back
wearing high heels can weaken leg tissues and/or leg ligaments
high heels force your toes into permanent, unnatural hyperextension position
using high heels long-term can disfigure your feet and lead to foot health issues such as hammertoe
high heels increase the probability of ankle sprains when walking on uneven surfaces
wearing high heels for a long period of time can lead to urogenital problems
wearing high heels will lead to your foot developing an unnatural curve which can be extremely painful
high heels can lead to severe joint pains and symptoms related to arthritis or premature osteoarthritis
high heels put your leg muscles at a constant risk of being sprained or damaged
high heels put increase pressure on the knee joints and could lead to knee problems
