What effect will high heels have on the body?

In the mid-1980s, high-heeled shoes were once popular in some big cities in China, and the heels became higher and thinner. Although it was later replaced by the rising sports shoes, there are still many young women who prefer to wear high heels.

But wearing high heels needs to prevent it from doing some harm to health. Wearing high heels for a long time often makes the lower limbs tired and causes chronic low back pain. This is because the gravity line of the body moves forward and increases after passing through high heels (heel height is more than 6 cm). In order to maintain balance and prevent the body from leaning forward, the chest and waist must be more straight, the waist should be straight and convex, and the knee joint should be stretched back excessively. This will strengthen and contract some muscles that maintain an upright posture, such as the muscles of the back, buttocks and the back of the calf, which will easily lead to fatigue and strain of the lumbar muscles and iliopsoas ligaments over time. For people who stand and walk more, the harm is even greater.

The heel height of 3 ~ 4 cm is the best for daily wearing shoes, and wedge shoes are the best, so standing and walking for a long time will not make you tired. If you have caused arch pain, you should put on casual shoes, massage your arch with your hands, and do dorsiflexion of your foot, which will help you recover.
