Hey everyone, today I wanted to talk about a topic close to many women: footwear, specifically high heels. Ladies, I get it; high heels can make you feel confident, powerful, and stylish. But, as a foot doctor, I’m here to advise you why wearing them every day might not be the best idea.

Reasons to Avoid Wearing Heels Daily

First off, let’s talk about your poor feet. When you wear those high heels, your weight gets shifted onto the ball of your feet, causing increased pressure and strain. Ouch!

Here is the picture of the X-ray showing pressure points on the foot.

Over time, this can lead to a list of foot problems in the future, like bunions, calluses, and even stress fractures. Not exactly the stuff of dreams, right?

Another reason not to wear high heels is that when you wear them, they can squeeze your toes so much that you can develop a bunion.

Take a look at this picture.

Squeezing your straight toes over time into a bunion, and it’s not just your feet that suffer. Wearing high heels can throw off your entire posture, leading to back pain and even joint issues down the line.

How To Wear Heels Without Affecting Your Feet?

So, what’s a fashion for a woman to do?

Well, I’m not saying you have to say goodbye to your special heel forever. But consistency is the key. Save them for special occasions and find supportive shoes with a lower heel for everyday wear.

Your feet will thank you, trust me.
