Will wearing pumps a lot be bad for my feet in the long run?

[debbiedenise]

I have heard and read a lot of the current research against pumps and heels. Some women don't wear them at all. I must admit though, I love wearing pumps. I have been known to even wear them with jeans simply because I like the look. Although, I might carry a change of shoes if I will be wearing heels for an extended time. Will this do damage to my feet over time? What do you think?

I don't know. You can read fear porn about how bad they are for your feet, just like you can find fear porn on just about any topic you can think of.
At the same time, lots of women wear them all day with out incurring problems.

I had one particular girlfriend. She was 32 years old, 5'1", and wore heels all the time unless she was exercising or in the house. She didn't wear tall spike heels very often. I think she usually wore 3" to 3.5" wider heels.
One time we walked around San Francisco all day, up and down hills, while she was wearing wedge sandals and she never complained a bit.
I can attest that she was super fit and healthy. And her petite feet were flawless.

Wear high quality shoes that fit. If your toes are cramped, then you will deform your feet and end up with bunions. If you can't afford to buy designer shoes new, try resale and thrift shops in wealthy areas. My wife has found amazing shoes, barely worn, for very little money.

I love them too.

I stick to well made ones with a 3-4 inch heel. So far so good

Wearing pumps regularly can indeed lead to some foot issues over time, like foot pain, bunions, and even lower back pain. To mitigate these effects, consider choosing pumps with a lower heel and ensuring they have good arch support. Mixing it up with more comfortable shoe options and giving your feet a break is wise. If you're a fan of pumps, just ensure you're not wearing them constantly, and you'll likely find a good balance. 😊

You should be fine , considering you like wearing them and you are comfortable in them , plus you bring an extra pair of shoes just in case they start hurting your feet , so as long as you aren’t in severe pain and constantly wearing them while being in pain , then you should be completely fine. Me personally loves a girl that wears heels and shoes that give her an arch , it’s a huge turn on to me. I have been with some girls’ that said she hates wearing them because it hurts her feet , so I understand her decision but then I will say can you wear them for a few minutes in the bedroom , that’s all I need lol

Absolutely. you're actively crippling your feet if you wear them more than just for special occasions. and since in your body, everything is conneted, you're hurting your legs and your spine as well. so essentially your entire body takes damage if you this all the time.

I don’t think so; just be sure to take plenty of calcium, because if you don’t, you’ll be at a higher risk of osteoporosis later in life, and wearing tight or uncomfortable shoes could exacerbate that.

How far are you thinking of going, on your long run 😃 ?

Training shoes would be better with a little heel supporting your feet.

yes it will but also make you look really sexy if you have nice feet
