The Cost of High Heels

Wearing high heels may feel empowering, but they impact your body in ways you may not expect.

Posture Problems

High heels shift your body's balance, leading to unnatural posture and increased spinal stress.

Gait Alteration

High heels make your hip flexors and knee muscles work overtime, changing your natural stride.

Back Pain Alert

The lumbar spine flattens, and the mid-back curves excessively, causing chronic discomfort.

Knee Strain and Osteoarthritis

High heels increase knee torque and compression, accelerating wear-and-tear arthritis.

Achilles Tendinitis Risk

Prolonged heel use can cause the Achilles tendon to tighten, leading to inflammation and pain.

Bunions, Neuromas, and Plantar Fasciitis

Increased forefoot pressure leads to painful conditions like bunions and plantar fasciitis.

Corns, Calluses, and Blisters

Tight toe boxes cause friction and pressure, resulting in corns, calluses, and painful blisters.
