The Real Harm in High Heels: How High Heels Affect Your Body?

[Anonymous]

Do we have to wear high heels?

Do we have to wear high heels to look sexy?

Why everybody thinks that we should wear high heels to look formal, or hot? I think that's what society taught us. I think it is possible to look formal, or hot without wearing them.

I don't want to be a victim of fashion!

Some says that high heels are what makes us look feminen. Why should I torture to my own body? I call it as a torture because of these reasons:

While wearing high heels the body's central gravity shifts forward and it effects your posture in a negative way. In order to gain balance your body will make some adjustments starting from your toes to your spine. It will also give you back pain and nerve problems in long term used.

High heels are the one of the main factors leading to foot problems in women.

Wearing high heels for a long time may lead to damage on your leg tendons. It shortens your muscles and gives you back pain and muscle spasms. It also changes the natural shape of your foot.

It's like this. I know high heels aren't good for my back, and I know from experience they can make you feel like you're walking across broken glass, but I will probably still never stop wearing them. I don't do it for guys, or to look sexy. I do it because I like the way they look, and I think it's fun, and when I see a pair of gorgeous stilettos, or cute wedges, I do drool a little.

I like heels on a night out but i won't lie they hurt so much. I find wedges and that just as sexy for me to wear and not just heels all the time. And to be honest if a man won't be with me as i dont wear heels enough then he not worth even caring about

I think high heels are stupid; if we have to run for a train or something, do you expect me to carry you?

old fashioned guy here and even I know that high heels were made to make a woman more shapely. Also know that is a terrible reason for a woman to permanently injure herself just to look good. I am a personality and after that very few looks matter to me anyways. I love woman who can get sweaty now that is hot. and you don't need heels to get sweaty

im an aerospace engineer. fun fact. the maximum stress we design aircraft floors are for high heels, not luggage, not the drink cart, but the concentrated stress of a woman's high heel. In the 60s women were punching holes through pan-am flights with their shoe daggers.

Yeah yeah we know it's painful and possibly dangerous if you don't have strong legs.

However, the heels add 10% sexiness for every inch you add and up to 50% more sexy is possible. For men, they go with the sexy women 1st. It's up to the ladies to decide: you what the extra bonus to sexiness or not?
