High heels are beautiful. The legs look much longer, the figure is slimmer, the gait is easier. But many are of the opinion that only a young girl can afford such shoes, and such shoes are contraindicated for women of elegant age who have passed half a century. But sometimes it’s so hard to part with high heels! Is it possible to wear your favorite stiletto heels at this luxurious age or should you change your shoes to old lady slippers with flat soles? Read on.
Interesting! It is believed that the highest heels were made in Romania. A fashion designer from this country named Mihai Albu created shoes with a 31 cm high heel.
Which heel is strictly contraindicated after 50 years?
Of course, you shouldn’t give up on yourself. At 50, you need to look fashionable and elegant. You just need to follow a few rules, including when choosing the right shoes. Shoes with high or ultra-high heels - more than 10 cm - are good only on the catwalk.
However, some time ago, fashion models tried to go on strike due to difficult working conditions. And their main misfortune was their uncomfortable shoes! The maximum heel height of casual shoes for an elegant woman should be no more than 5 cm. This is quite enough to elongate the silhouette and lift the fair sex above the ground (literally and figuratively). This heel height will be comfortable and will not cause inconvenience.
Problems associated with wearing high heels
When putting on such shoes, you need to be aware that the load on the knee joints increases greatly, and this threatens arthrosis. Deformation of the calf muscles occurs - they shorten and become denser, losing elasticity. All the weight is on the toes, not on the entire foot. This causes the joints of the toes to flatten, the metatarsal bones to become deformed, and lumps and curves to appear. When the center of gravity shifts, the spine also suffers, which ultimately leads to pain in the lumbar region.
So high heels can cause irreparable harm to health. But which fashionista was stopped by all these threats? Only those who felt them on themselves with age. Most often, alas, such health changes occur just closer to fifty. So, to maintain good health, you need to wear only flat shoes? In fact, the answer is not so obvious.
Are there any dangers when wearing flat shoes?
Oddly enough, many doctors claim that flat-soled shoes are traumatic. Such a sole deforms the foot, causing flat feet. Due to low shock absorption, the Achilles tendon is under constant tension, and the leg becomes more tired. Flip-flops and other flip-flops are especially harmful..
The gait in shale shoes becomes somewhat clubbed, the ligaments of the foot are very tense, and the muscles are stretched, the leg is not protected. All this together can lead to injuries much greater than when wearing high stiletto heels. In addition, slippers for a mature woman also pose another danger - they add at least a couple of years to life.
And what to do, how to get out of this vicious circle?
In fact, everything is simple. Need to wear a variety of shoes: You can also wear flip-flops to the beach; walking on the sand is much more comfortable in them; Sneakers are perfect for a walk in the park, and pumps with low and stable heels for going out.
Which heel is preferable after fifty?
For ladies over 50, when choosing shoes, three basic requirements must be observed: convenience and comfort, elegance and, of course, the use of natural materials. With age, the foot swells and ache more in artificial shoes, so preference should be given to natural leather or textiles.
For special occasions, elegant low-heeled pumps are suitable. The best height is no more than 5 cm. The combination of a classic outfit and a glass heel is considered the standard of elegance.. But be careful - This shape is suitable only for slender women. For ladies with full ankles, straight heels or the so-called “pillar” are more suitable. Ballerina shoes with a low, 3-4 cm, brick-shaped heel are perfect for almost any outfit and will look good on a serious lady. These shoes are durable and look stylish and modern.
Interesting! In Australia, the USA and Israel, it is customary to organize races in high heels. Both men and women participate. Charity races.Funds raised go to fight breast cancer.
For cold weather, elegant ladies can choose ankle boots or boots made of genuine leather or suede with 3-5 cm square heels. But if you need shoes for going out in the cold season, then boots that fit below the knee, with a stable heel up to 7 cm, of a classic silhouette, preferably suede, will give a mature lady status and will look amazing with any outfit.
