With medium-height heels reaching up to 5 inches high, there is an increase in the tension placed on the joint head of the foot, the big toe, and the back of the ankle. Despite the health risks associated with wearing high heels, many women refuse to stop wearing them. The most important thing a woman can do if she wants to continue wearing high heels is to stretch her calves and plantar fascia daily, as well as vary the heel height to minimize stress on the foot and ankle joints.
What happens to women who wore this footwear throughout their lives?
Almost sixty percent of women over fifty suffer from frequent and intense foot pain caused by bunions, a deformity that can affect proper mobility, also causing serious lower back problems and greatly diminishing the quality of life. In many cases, it leads to insecurity and can sometimes cause depression.
What happens to the foot?
The front of the foot is responsible for supporting up to 57 percent of the body weight. With 4-centimeter heels, this percentage increases significantly, reaching up to 75% when the heels are raised by about 2 centimeters. With the increased load on the forefoot, calluses often appear in the center of the feet, which are very painful and prevent free movement.
To prevent these painful deformities, it is recommended to avoid wearing narrow-toed shoes, as they do not allow the toes to be comfortable and force them to remain tightly pressed, causing pain and pushing the big toe to deviate.
Once the bone deformity has occurred, it cannot be corrected; only treatments that ease the pain can be used, as the deviation and loss of mobility cannot be recovered through any medical treatment, though in some cases surgery may be used to alleviate the discomfort a little.
We can conclude that it is better not to wear this type of footwear, which, although it makes us look very stylish and elegant, can also cause serious problems affecting the health of our feet.
Protectors
Therefore, a great way to get your feet accustomed to new shoes and vice versa is to hydrate the skin of the foot and use a shoe protector whose function is to: separate the affected part of the foot from the shoe material. This way, the shoe material will begin to soften with everyday use until it molds to the foot, and they can finally coexist without friction when worn.
The important thing is to understand that the shoe should adapt to you, not you to the shoe.
