HIGHLY alarming!

You look taller, leaner and simply more glamorous with spindly stilettos and towering wedges but their stilettos threaten to leave alarming effects down at heel causing bunions, corns, bent toes and trapped nerves.

Effects of stiletto and the cost to recover:

While we all love our high heels, wearing them for prolonged periods is bad news for our health and our wallets. Foot operations on women to remove bunions, to straighten toes disfigured by ill-fitting shoes, mostly high heels and accident in their heels, with twisted ankles and tripping over the most common mishaps. Cosmetic surgery is also increasing in popularity with treatments including 'plumping' in which dermal filler is injected into the ball of the foot to make walking more comfortable.
what happens:
Stilettos force the wearer to raise their heel, so the lower back bends to compensate.This puts pressure on nerves in the back and can cause sciatica, a condition in which trapped nerves cause pain and numbness as far down as the feet. A damage to the Achilles tendon, which runs up the back of the leg from the heel.

Remedy:
We need to wear mix of flat and comfortable shoes instead of just high heels matching our choice to allow our bodies time to recover inorder to be painfree sooner and to avoid long-term health problems. Sticking to heels no higher than 11/2in can help.
