All of us must be having at least one pair of those shiny killer stilettos. Women look powerful and stylish. They make your legs look longer than they actually are. But are you aware that wearing heel all the time may not be good for your body on a long term basis. Let’s find out why?
- As the heels are kept elevated for a longer period of time, the calf muscles and Achilles tendon can shorten permanently and the person may not be able to wear flat shoes. This is can be rectified only through corrective surgery

Problems with High Heels
The higher the height of the heel the greater is the pressure. Wearing high heels will eventually cause the knees to pain and one may also suffer from Osteoarthritis.
- The place where the toe fits in is usually so tight that there is very high possibility of your feet developing corns.
- The bones and the nerves of the toes may get compressed to a great degree and cause problems.
- High heels make you raise your heel putting pressure on nerves in the back causing Sciatica, a painful condition that traps nerves, triggering pain and numbness as far down as the feet.
- Many women also develop hammertoes, where tight-fitting shoes force them to crumple up their toes, shortening the muscles inside and leaving them permanently bent.
So ladies keep your stilettos for some special occasion and don’t wear them often.
