High heels will be the death of me. Somewhere, in a closet in my house, there sit at least four boxes of my beloved pre-children shoe collection. I had at least 150 pairs. Beautiful leather with sky-high heels I wore everywhere, every day, in every kind of weather. Now I couldn’t imagine putting any of them on. And a new study about the danger of high heels only confirms that decision for me.
So what is the answer?
Stop wearing high heels. Really. Truly. Or you will regret it.
Walking in high heels causes discomfort in the lower leg, ankle and foot. They also slow movement of the ankle muscles and reduce step length and overall range of motion. It’s very easy to topple.
Sure, the days of legs elongated in gorgeous ways may be behind me. But I run. And chase after a toddler. And attend my son’s baseball games. I’d like to do all that with the use of both my legs.
It’s not worth it, ladies. Let’s all let the heels go. Our health is worth more than a few inches of height. Sniff.
