Generally, women love to walk with ladies high heels.
This allows them to gain a few centimeters, gives their leg an impression of length and "back up the buttocks". Studies show that 58% of women wear heels between 1am and 8am daily. Unfortunately, walking every day with high-heeled shoes can cause many physiological problems and accentuate back pain. I present to you in this article the various advantages and (especially) disadvantages of the shoes with heels for the women. The disadvantages of high-heeled shoesWearing high heels dramatically changes our posture and the different stresses exerted on our muscles and joints during walking. The weight of the body is supported by the front of the feet (especially the toes), which leads to many modifications at the biomechanical level: Shortening of the calf and Achilles tendon, which are in permanent contraction. Increase of the pressure of the order of 23% on the joints of the knee. Hyperextension of the hip and retroversion of the pelvis. Of course, these important changes in the general posture (which becomes unnatural) can lead to many pathologies in the long term: Faster cartilage degradation at the knees3), and early onset of osteoarthritis that disables any type of movement. The premature wear of cartilage will give you pain when walking, and will prevent you from practicing certain sports such as running. In addition, it is important to emphasize that women are naturally more likely to develop osteoarthritis than men, especially during menopause. Hardening of the calves which are always in contraction and shortening of Achilles tendons, causing pain in the heel when walking barefoot or flat shoes. More frequent appearance of Morton's disease4), which corresponds to a swelling of the healing tissue around the nerves of the 3rd and 4th toes, causing severe pain during walking. Risk of sprain much higher due to instability of the ankle. The higher the heel, the greater the instability and the higher the risk. The heel surface of the shoe also plays an important role. Choose larger heel bases and avoid stiletto heels. Metatarsalgia more common, due to a redistribution of body weight on the forefoot. Metatarsalgia is characterized by pains in the forefoot, where is the head of the metatarsals. Risk of lower back pain due to over-solicitation of the lower back muscles to create retroversion of the pelvis. Once again, studies show that the higher the heel, the greater the stress on the lumbar area. Increased tension in the shoulders and neck due to the inclination of the supports. This can lead to dizziness, headache and visual disturbances. Heeled shoes for healthAs you can see, the prolonged wearing of high-heeled shoes is not without consequences on your health. All these pathologies can be accentuated according to several factors: Overweight. The more important your mass will be, the more the different tensions exerted on your knees, ankles and back will be important. If you have too much weight, I strongly advise you to regain your fitness weight before wearing heeled shoes intensively. Inadequate musculature. Insufficient physical activity leads to a lack of muscle mass and faster pathology development. If you wear high-heeled shoes regularly, I strongly advise you to make a point of honor to develop your abdo-lumbar belt to avoid lower back pain. Inadequate diet that creates chronic inflammations (excess of refined sugars, excess of saturated fats ...). To fix this, make sure you have a healthy eating plan with all the nutrients you need, and balance the acid-base balance. In addition, staying properly hydrated is very important for the joints. To stay away from all these pathologies, here are my tips: Decrease the size of the heel. Indeed, the higher the heel, and the greater the pressure on the knees! According to the studies, the pressure on the knees increases by: - 22% with 2.5cm heels - 57% with 5cm heels - 76% with 7.5cm heels Choose wide heels. Avoid stiletto heels.Do not wear heels every day! Try to alternate at least a day with heels, and a day without. If you are overweight, avoid wearing high heels. I understand that you enjoy wearing this type of shoe. Nevertheless, you must remember that they put your body in an unnatural position. As I often say, health comes first! The benefits of high-heeled shoesBeyond the aesthetic aspect, heels have relatively few advantages ... Here are some assets that this type of shoe can have for certain pathologies: If your ankle is sore, wearing heels allows you to put the weight of your body on the front of the foot, not on the heel. This can be useful the time of the pain, but do not overdo it and favor the heels of maximum 5cm with a wide base to avoid any sprain ... If you have tendonitis in the Achilles tendon, wearing a heeled shoe helps relieve tendinitis. If you are young and you suffer from instability of the patella, the wearing of heels improves the stability of it. As a general rule, I advise you to wear heels for special events such as a special evening or a meal. Avoid as much as you get used to the shoes with heels to go to work. If you cannot avoid, choose heels up to 5cm, with a wide base.
