ABC13 talked to an orthopedic doctor about how high or low your heels should be so you don't get a foot injury.
Orthopedic doctors warn that wearing stilettos or high heels could mean major foot damage in the long run.For some people, the higher the heel, the better.ABC13 spoke to some heel-lovers who said wearing four-, five- and even six-inch stilettos improves their posture and makes their legs look sexy.
According to Dr. Alade, height matters because if the heel is too tall, people tend to walk on their tippy toes, and that can cause contracting of the Achilles tendon in the back of the leg. He wants people to also beware of a narrow shoe toe-box that aggressively forces your toes together."Mechanically speaking, constantly having something that's pushing your toes together, cramming them together, can cause the toe to drift over and actually cause a bunion," Dr. Alade said.
