The document discusses the health effects of wearing improper footwear. It notes that the feet bear the body's weight all day and need rest. It then examines specific issues that can arise from wearing ultra-high heels, stilettos, pointed toe shoes, wrong size shoes, platforms/wedges, ballerina flats, pumps, and tight boots if worn for long periods. Problems include ankle sprains, fractures, blisters, bunions, corns, arthritis, and nerve compression. The document concludes with tips for choosing comfortable, properly fitting footwear.

2. • When it comes to foot fashion, women often go to
great lengths to make a statement. Sometimes, this
comes at a high price – one’s health. The feet do the
heavy lifting all day long, and the soles of your feet
need their rest. Did you know that the soles contain
more sensitive nerve-endings per square centimetre
than any other part of your body? Wearing the wrong
footwear can lead to various health problems
including lower back pain, spine problems and even
headache.

3. • Let’s look at some of the adverse effects certain types
of footwear, when worn for long periods of time, can
have on your feet and body:

4. Ultra-high heels
• These can cause ankle sprains
and chronic pain. They can
even cause painful knots at
the end of the heel. Chronic
stress to the foot bones can
sometimes lead to hairline
fractures. Heels which are no
more than 2 inches high are
recommended.

5. Stilettos
• Stilettos have very narrow
heels due to which the entire
body weight is concentrated
and rests on a very small
area. When wearing
stilettos, you are more likely
to sprain your ankle. In fact,
the risk of developing
osteoarthritis rises with a
severe sprain or fracture of
the ankle.

6. Pointed toe shoes
• These shoes squeeze the
entire front portion of
the foot and can cause
blisters and bunions. A
bunion is a painful lump
at the base of the big to,
which causes the toe to
bend unnaturally.

7. Wrong size shoes
• This can lead to
formation of blisters and
corns. It even increases
the risk of arthritis due to
constant rubbing of the
joints. Make sure there’s
space of at least one
centimeter between your
longest toe and the end of
the toe of the shoe.

8. Platform shoes and wedges
• This footwear puts
pressure on the
metatarsal bones,
especially if the heel
is much higher than
the toe area.

9. Ballerina flats
• These do not offer enough
arch support and can
cause many serious
postural problems and
plantar fascilitis, which is
an inflammation of the
tissue that runs between
the arch of the foot and
the heel. Flip flops can
have a similar effect.

10. Pumps
• These can cause
permanent bone
deformity and pain in
the Achilles tendon,
apart from causing
painful blisters.

11. Thigh-high tight boots
• These can compress the
personal nerve, which is
near the outside of your
calf. Boots with zippers
are better than skin tight
boots.

12. Keep Some tips on mind before buying footwear
• There should be enough room in your shoes for your toes
to fit comfortably.
• Shoes should have comfortable padding.
• The footwear must be wide enough to accommodate your
entire foot; feet should not be out around the sides or
back, or be squeezed in.
• Shoes should not slip off at the back while walking.
• Choose comfort over style. Reserve high heeled shoes for
special occasions and wear them for a short period of
time only.
