Wearing high heelers makes women look more smart, elevated and classy or say more sexier. But with all that beautiful catchy and classy look comes a cost or a price to pay at the long-run.
Your feet impact how your entire body moves and functions, and your shoes affect that stability and posture, making your choice of footwear very important because our body mechanics get completely altered with every choice of footwear.
You want comfort, stability and support for proper alignment – but you want to look good too. And we all know high heels look good!
What are some of the problems one can experience from wearing high heels??
- Extra pressure on the balls of your feet and knees, affecting walking speed and stride length, which alters your biomechanics
- Tense calf muscles
- Your hips and spine moving out of alignment
- The forward curve of your lower back decreasing or flattening out, which can cause muscle strains leading to back pain over time
When our body biomechanics are altered we at some point start experiencing strains because the stability of the body gets compromised and we have to adapt to new ways of gaining stability.
If you are wearing high heels frequently and experiencing daily back pain you should get relief with an assessment from a physiotherapist.

Hello Ferdinand, they should be worn in moderation and the shorter the heel the better.
