Health Tip: Wearing High Heels
By LadyLively on October 10, 2014
Wearing high heels may be fashionable, but they can wreak havoc on your body.
The American Osteopathic Association suggests how to avoid problems while wearing high heels:
- Choose a heel that is no higher than 1 1/4 inches, has a wide base and is thicker-than-average. Skip the stilettos.
- Pad heels with cushioned insoles to ease stress on your knees.
- Choose heels with a wide toe box that fit properly, with no room for feet to slide forward.
- Skip heels on days when you’ll be doing a lot of walking or standing.
- Don’t wear heels every day or all day long. Alternate with more comfortable shoes.
- Stretch your feet and calf muscles.
