For LADIES: Do you like to wear High Heels? Then please read this

[cateyes1]

 
Prolonged wearing of high heels can cause a permanent damages like bunions, hammertoes, leg tendons.. This are mainly caused due to pressure on ball of the foot. The higher the heels, the greater is the pressure. This can also affect the knee and back.
 So on wearing high heels continuously you are increasingly damaging you feet.
 If you love your health be cautious.

I havent been able to wear those for years. When I was younger I twisted my left ankle. About 20 years later I broke that same ankle in a car accident

I like my feet, but I like heels too.
Instead of wearing them for day-to-day, I like to wear them for formal occasions (or if I know I'll be sitting down a lot!)

I wore heels to my wedding (changed to flats for my reception) and in the short while I was at the alter, my feet were KILLING me!
I couldn't wear them for long periods of time if I wanted to!

I used to wear them too work and when i would be back in the recieving are would slip on slippers. Until i had a couple of bad wrecks and the Dr.s took them away from me. Then i got to wear sneakers toowork most of the time. Except when a meeting with the big wigs was happening. Now i don't ever wear them. Just a nice pair 1" flats. Oh joy.

I wore them for work in the past, and after working that job for a year, sneakers KILLED me-- it took months for the tendons to stretch again. I haven't worn them since except for dress occasions

But hey-- we're being sexists, here! what about they GUYS on FC that might wear heels???

[kimberlymgiles]

I actually know someone that has hurt their feet permanently due to wearing heels for a long period of time. I am not a big fan of high heels. I prefer comfort over beauty.

[dreamyxo]

No I do not like to wear heels.

I'm not good at walking in heels, I look like a little girl trying to be grown when I wear them. The only type of heels I wear are wedges and they're usually not that high to begin with.  The Skecher Tone Ups may have gotten some bad press, but I enjoy wearing them for the look.

I stand most of the day at work, so I almost never wear high heels. I love me a pair of cute heels, especially with a little pop of color, but I'll save that for going out on the weekends because it just hurts to much to stand in them for 8 to 10 hours a day!

I only wear them when required (school graduation for instance, ugh).  Otherwise, I wear sandals, tennis shoes, or nothing.

It makes sense that they do that though.  A lot of the time the pressure isn't on the ball of the foot, but between the ball and the heel for me.  Whenever I wear them, it's my arch that kills.

I also heard something about it shortening one of the muscles, I think, but I can't remember where I heard that.

I rarely wear high heels unless it's something formal, like a wedding. There have also been reports that flip flops cause damage to your feet because they have no arch support.

No high heels for me never have never will. I would probably break my neck if I tried.

I used to wear heels..... but; now, the only thing I hate more is bare feet!

[raven1114]

I can't stand high heels. I never wear them.

I love the way they look, but I rarely wear them.  I recently wore some to my brother's wedding, and my feet were killing me after a while.
