Sexy High Heels
High heeled shoes create a sexier and more flattering figure. They do this by tilting the hips, accentuating the bustline and making the legs look longer. However, high heels can cause a great deal of discomfort- calf pain, heel pain, bunions, corns, calluses, ankle sprains, neuromas, hammertoes, pump bumps and ball of foot pain.
How do I encourage women to wear more sensible shoes? It's almost impossible. I do tell my well-heeled patients to limit their time spent in heels-never all day, just for a few hours. They should buy shoes at the end of the day that fit comfortably across the widest part of the foot. I t is important to wear gel or silicone insoles for a comfortable cushioning effect as well.
