According to Dr. Oliver Zong, New York City Podiatrist, “The average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day. Multiply that for 365 days a year, over a period of ten or more years, imagine the bruising and crushing and tearing that your feet undergo.” It’s no wonder that wearing high heels and poorly fitting shoes can cause serious and permanent foot problems.
Here are 10 reasons to stop wearing high heeled shoes;
1. Wearing high heels for a long time and for many years, not only changes the shape of the foot, but can also cause permanent deformity, which may require cosmetic surgery for correction. If you are vain enough to wear high heels for more than special occasions and limited occasions, then perhaps your vanity considers the wrong shapes of your feet and toes, as they are larger. Even if you want to endure the pain of walking and standing, you won’t be too happy about the contorted shapes of your feet and legs after long coats and walking in high-heeled shoes.
2. High heels not only make your toes tight and squashed, but also cause toenails, blisters, and foot infections. For this reason, not only paying for shoes, but paying extra medical bills and over the counter for temporary foot relief products .
3. High-heeled shoes distort your body shape and balance. throw the weight that makes your body condition to work harder to maintain balance without needing to fall. Extra effort is contracted in the lower back which can also create pain.
4. The high heel of the shoe often leaves cup marks and dust marks on the floors. Thus, not only the shoes are degrading to the body, they damage the pavements they walk on.
5. Shoes are designed to protect your feet. If you need to run or walk fast, you are likely to either trip and fall and break a bone or sprain your ankle if you wear high-heeled shoes. If you have to remove your shoes to defend yourself against an intruder, you’ll probably regret that you even wore high heels.
6. It is difficult to enjoy lots of dancing or walking in the evening if you think all the time how much your feet hurt or pain and how badly you want I sat down and put my feet out.
7. If you think you look prettier in high heels, or slimmer or taller, think how unattractive you look when you close your shoes with the circulation of your feet squeezed by high heel pain. At least you will walk with a foolish and ungodly gait.
8. Do you ever hear the pump hum? This is a nickname that podiatrists use for people who wear high heels who have developed a hard callus that looks like a bone pulled from the heel bone by stretching it. It happens because the back of the high shoe is constantly rubbing against the back of the foot.
9. According to a survey by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 80 percent of women who responded said that their feet hurt and 60% of those women admitted to wearing uncomfortable shoes for at least an hour a day.
10. You may have heard or seen Miss America strutting in front of millions of people in high heels during the evening gown competition. Talk about an embarrassing moment If a person who literally trains himself to walk elegantly in high-heeled shoes, and falls in one of the most important moments in his career, because of the shoes, that tells you something. High heel shoes are just “not natural”.
