A recent research by a footcare Company, Compeed, has revealed that the largest patrons of high heels in Europe are the British women, and this could probably be due to their short stature

A survey of 2,000 men and women, and 60 podiatrists and chiropodists found that feet often turn sore after wearing high heels. Most people walked home barefoot after a night out. Further, wearing high heels also increased the risk of problems pertaining to sprains, strains, corns and bunions.

Research also showed that women were three times likely to squeeze their feet into uncomfortable shoes.

Mike O'Neill, a consultant podiatrist at the College, said: 'There is absolutely no doubt that women who wear high heels are putting themselves at risk of permanent injury in the name of fashion.'
