Inaccurate Myth: High heels lead to lower back pain.
High heels measuring three inches or higher may look great
and be trending in the fashion world, but they put significantly higher
pressure on joints, than their less fashion-forward alternatives, when they are
worn frequently. Research now shows that high-heeled shoes change the
coordination between the ankle and the knee, causing knee injury. These shoes
are also associated with a predisposition to Morton’s Neuroma. This is a
painful condition that affects the ball of the foot, commonly the area between
the third and fourth toes. If you choose to wear flat shoes instead, be sure
that they have ample support for the arches in your feet.
