Anatomy of the foot and the effects of high heels
The anatomy of the foot is complex and consists of 26 bones, numerous ligaments and muscles that work together to ensure stability and mobility. The bones of the foot are divided into three main groups: Tarsals, Metatarsals and Toes. The arches play a crucial role in shock absorption and balance. When you wear high heels, the natural position of your foot changes considerably. The increased pressure on the toes and arch can lead to various problems such as pain, blisters or even long-term damage such as hallux valgus. This unnatural posture leads to the muscles and ligaments being overstretched, which increases the risk of injury. It is important to protect your feet and take regular breaks to minimize the negative effects of high heels.
Long-term damage from wearing high heels
Wearing high heels can cause considerable damage to the feet in the long term. Many women suffer from common foot problems such as hallux valgus, heel spurs and misaligned toes, which are not only uncomfortable but also affect their quality of life. Statistical data shows that a large proportion of the female population is affected by foot damage and most of them associate these problems with their choice of footwear. The incorrect strain caused by wearing high heels also has a negative impact on the joints. The unnatural posture distributes weight unevenly, which can lead to pain and injury in the long term. It is important to be aware of these risks in order to take preventative measures if necessary and protect the health of your feet.
