Is it bad to always wear high heels?

[Anonymous]

I've practically only worn high heels since high school. I really love how they look and like being elevated.
But I'm afraid this is bad for feet.
When I'm barefoot, I tend to walk on my toes, especially when I'm walking fast or when I'm standing for too long because my feet get tired when they're flat on the floor. It's the same when I'm wearing flat shoes but I only wear them for sport or when it's snowing.
I hope this is not too bad for my feet because I really love high heels in daily life.

Yes it's bad if you overdo it. You're supposed to naturally balance your weight between your heels and your toes but when you wear heels, you put almost the entirety of your weight on your heels.

This creates a chain effect and causes extra stress on your knee and perhaps hip joints too. That could make you more likely to develop arthritis and other joint problems.

I literally wear heels 99% of the time. Without taking into account when I'm barefoot at home of course.
I naturally place my weight on my toes. That's why I'm often on my tippy toes when I'm barefoot.

Because you have that phantom feeling of still having heels on. The thing is it's really difficult to balance your weight when you are actually wearing heels. You just put the weight on your heels and only when there's some pain then you shift it to the balls of your feet to relieve that pain.

You've become somewhat digitigrade nowm

[Asker]

Yes it makes sense. My body is totally used to this so It may not be as bad

[OneManOnly01]

It actually is bad. You might get those joint problems and women are actually more prone to arthritis and some other joint problems.

You can't save yourself from a bad habit just because you're 'used' to that bad habit

I try to be barefoot but wearing flat shoes 24/7 will be difficult to me

[OneManOnly01]

Try to gradually improve

[Asker]

I'm trying but I always end up walking on my toes

There can be some long term issues with wearing heels all the time.
That said I'm all for it, but for your overall health I would suggest that you start wearing flats more often.
That way you will still have cute feet when you get older.
And there are some really cute flats and flat sandals out there.
My wife has a closet full of them.

[Asker]

I feel strange with flat shoes as I don't wear them for years. Like I'm barefoot but with something under my feet

[Fireguy17]

That is because you are stretching out muscles and tendons in a way they aren't used to.
It will get better.

[Asker]

Yes I guess but I'm still not at my ease with flat shoes at the moment

[Fireguy17]

start slowly, it won't happen overnight.

You can get back issues, as well as bunions in the long term.
You can always switch out to a kitten heel or something, or go barefoot when at home.

[Asker]

I don't have bunions for the moment and I try to be barefoot when I can.

High heels are looking so sexy on girls feet, specially when they wear open toe high heels (while revealing polished toes under that) but sometimes you need to wear sneakers or different kind of shoes for your health, because you are staying on your feet all day long...

[Asker]

I actually feel better in heels

[Yellovv]

Which kind of high heels do you have?

[Asker]

All sort, even flip flop ones but they're not very comfie

[Yellovv]

What is your foot size, also are you using nail polish on your toes?

[Asker]

I'm size 8 and I'd say my nails are polished 80% of the time

[Yellovv]

Good size actually, which colour of nail polish are you using generally?

[Asker]

I like red and black but most of the time it's just transparent but look better than nothing

[Yellovv]

My favourite is purple and black, they are looking so nice on girls feet, also well-groomed female feet are amazing...

[Asker]

Yes I hope everybody has well groomed feet with heels

[Yellovv]

Yeah definetly looking so sexy, do you think you have nice feet?

[Asker]

Yes I like seeing my feet in high heels but what I prefer is the posture I have with them

[Yellovv]

Yes of course, did you ever get compliment about your feet?

[Asker]

Nope but on my shoes yes

[Yellovv]

What do you think about foot fetish?

[Asker]

I didn't ask this question to talk about fetish?

[Yellovv]

Just I want to ask what do you think about it

[Asker]

I don't care. All taste are in the nature

[Yellovv]

I say that because I really like to see well-groomed female feet, specially when they stay barefoot..

[Asker]

Oh I stay barefoot if you want to know

[Yellovv]

Girls have very nice feet, I saw first polished toes when I was kid, I saw our next door neighbour's daughter she was 25 I think that time, how exackly my fetish start, till that time I can't help it, I like to see well-groomed female feet, I hope you understand what I mean...

[Asker]

She was barefoot?

[Yellovv]

Yes she was, also she were polishing her toes in their garden but I can able to saw and made me feel something different...

I think they look amazing but I think that long term it can be damaging if worn a lot
