High Heels Cause Long-Term Damage says the headline.
We needed scientific research to tell us this?
Twenty years ago I had a colleague who was having serious physiotherapy because she was unable to put her foot flat to the ground, caused by spending too many years wearing 4 inch heels.
Recently there was an article which suggested it was better not to wear heels all day and then change into flat shoes for the journey home because the flat shoes were dangerous!! Personally I've always thought high heels must be dangerous because they're extremely painful to wear even just for a few minutes. I've never worn high heels anyway – the highest being about an inch. As a result I've had no problems with my feet or legs.
