I have never had heels before, because of my height (I am 5′9 and hate being tall ^^;;)
I’ve been thinking about getting some, but I am not sure..
This is the most pathetic list of reasons for doing something ever:
- they change the angle of the foot with respect to the lower leg, which accentuates the appearance of calves
- they change the wearer’s posture, requiring a more upright carriage and altering the gait in what is considered a seductive fashion
- they make the wearer appear taller
- they make the legs appear longer
- they make the foot appear smaller
- they make the toes appear shorter
- they make the arches of the feet higher and better defined
- they make the lower leg muscles more defined
- they make the Gluteus Maximus more defined
Reasons for not wearing high-heels include:
- they can cause foot pain
- they can create foot deformities, including hammertoes and bunions
- they can cause an unsteady gait
- they can shorten the wearer’s stride
- See “Foot and Tendon Problems” below for many of the medical reasons.
- Women who wear high heels frequently have a higher incidence of degenerative joint disease of the knees. This is because they cause a decrease in the normal rotation of the foot which puts more rotation stress on the knee
I know flats are also bad.. So what does that leave me with anyways! T_____T
