Ever since I saw the enormously high heels making their appearance I have been concerned about the health hazards they pose to women. Unable to wear one and a half inch heels now I only know too well what havoc these enormous stilts can cause to feet, calves and back. Wearing a favourite pair of boots I kept getting back ache and couldn't figure out why. I then wore flat shoes and did not have this problem which is why I have worn flat ballet pumps ever since.
Reasonable heels make a dress or suit look more stylish, no doubt, but the overly high heels do not do the same trick because they are just that, overly high heels, which defeats the object of looking stylish and well dressed. The statistics below prove a point when it comes to health hazards.
High Heels, High Risk

High Heels, High Risk
- Close to half of US women wear high heels even though 71 percent say the shoes hurt their feet
- From 2002 to 2012, more than 123,000 injuries from wearing high heels were treated in US emergency rooms
- High heels change the dynamics of normal human walking, leading to an unnatural posture that adds tremendous strain to your hips, lower back and knees
