High Heels and Pumps Now, Foot Pain Later
That is the conclusion of a new study that looks at the link between shoes and foot pain.
The researchers found that women who had mainly worn supportive footwear like sneakers or athletic shoes in their early years cut their risk of foot pain later by more than half, compared with women who had worn shoes that gave average support, like hard-soled or rubber-soled ones.
But both of those groups were in a minority. More than 60 percent said that in the past they generally wore high heels, pumps, sandals and slippers, all of which researchers rated as higher risk. Women who wore those were at the most risk of hindfoot, ankle and Achilles’ tendon pain.

Some women like high heels; i.e. the height of the heel is equal to the length of the foot and pointed. It can be used as a defensive and very effective tool where other options are minimal... :)

Poorly-fitting and high heel / pointed shoes often cause these problems. Aging and being overweight also increase your chances of having foot problems.
If a woman wears high heels, she will not have to walk anymore, she will be carried for the rest of her life. No need to worry!
