Important tips for those who wear heels every day

Give a woman a pair of stilettos and she will conquer the world! Perhaps Merlin was right, because it is difficult not to pay attention to the elegant silhouette of the legs, which is created thanks to the stiletto heel. But is it so easy to conquer the world in heels?

Heels: benefits and harm

Just as there are supporters of such shoes, there are also its opponents. Moreover, some of them paint terrifying prospects for lovers of dress shoes, from sciatica to dementia. What does dementia have to do with it? Go figure. But there is some truth in some arguments. Let's figure out what's what.

Important! It is worth mentioning that only physically fit ladies can wear high heels without harm.

If such shoes are worn for a long time and incorrectly, there is indeed a possibility of unpleasant consequences.

1. While walking in stiletto heels, the position of the foot changes. The load is transferred to the front, especially the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe. Constant heavy load on it can lead to its deformation.
2. Another possible consequence of improper foot position is Achilles tendon deformity. In the heel position it is practically not involved. After bringing the leg to its usual state, it may hurt. Some doctors say that over time the pain may become constant.
3. In this position, the person's body is slightly tilted forward, which leads to strain on muscles that are usually poorly used. As a result, curvature of posture may occur.

So, the consequences described above do occur, but we emphasize that with the wrong approach to the matter. Is it possible to avoid these consequences and wear heels every day?

How to wear heels every day without pain or harm

Don’t be afraid of the dire consequences and give up high-heeled shoes. You just need to prepare your body for them.

• You can avoid deformation of the metatarsal joint by purchasing special inserts that are glued to the sole and reduce the load on the joints of the foot.
• You also need to choose shoes with the right instep. It should be comfortable and distribute the load evenly.
• You should not buy cheap high-heeled shoes, as they may be improperly designed and cause harm.

Important! The toe of such shoes should be slightly raised, and the heel should be located at 90° to the floor.

Now about why heels are a matter of trained people.

• You can avoid injuries and strains of the Achilles tendon simply by training it. Stretching is beneficial for our body in general, and especially for the leg muscles. By doing stretching, you will make the tendon flexible and it will not be afraid of “shrinking”, which some doctors predict as a consequence of wearing heels.
• The same goes for posture. In the correct position, our spine is supported by a good muscular corset.Train all the muscles in your body so as not to spoil your posture with stilettos, especially those that are little used in your usual position.

As you can see, the whole point is that you need to approach everything wisely and preparedly, including heels. Their correct use and training can prevent unpleasant consequences. And, of course, everything is good in moderation: give your feet a rest both during the day and for several days in general.

So, having figured out what will happen if you wear heels for 5 days in a row, we come to the conclusion that there is nothing bad if you approach the matter correctly and with proper preparation.
