Can Wearing High Heels Damage Your Body?
You all have heard it. High heels will ruin your knees, will ruin your feet and cause all sorts of back pain.It's true!
But so does playing football, or skiing, or even jogging. Yet I do not hear a hue and cry about how everyone should stop playing sports because there's a chance you will suffer some bodily damage.
Life happens... deal with it.
That's what we do as humans on this planet. When early Hunter-Gatherers roamed early Europe, you did not hear the tribes Healer lecture the Tribal elders about how hunting and gathering would wreck your knees and cause back pain. They just went out and hunted and gathered and sometimes they got walked all over by a rampaging horde of Elk!
Life happens... deal with it.
And so it is with the wearing of high heels. It's true for some people, they develop back pain and sore knees. A friend of mine is right now in that predicament and can no longer tolerate heels and now looks admiringly at Doc Martens... the flat, flat workboot of Punks and Goths.
But others do not succumb to the effects of high heel wearing. For some, the higher heel has made their legs stronger and their balance almost perfect. They are able to deftly navigate a sidewalk littered with baby-buggies, beggars, churchies begging for your soul and steel venting grates, the small squarish holes a maw to which to swallow a stiletto, without so much of a grunt!
So the decrying of high heels as an unhealthy footwear choice is really a matter of taste. If you live in a city, such as mine, where most of the women walk like football players, and dress like they are part of a drunken angry mob, high heels are always associated with being a tramp. While in other more sophistcated cities the wearing of high heels is fashionable and trendy - it all depends on outlook.
Are you trendy enough to wear high heels? Are you confident enough? Are you able to take the precautions to wear them... by training to wear them, exercising your high heel ability before going to the wedding in heels for the first time since Prom. Leg lifts! Stretching! Deep knee bends. These are all necessary to wear heels... and then the practice of wearing them.
If gangstas can learn to walk in $5,000 Nikes with the shoe laces untied... then women can learn to walk in the infinitely safer high heel when compared.
And not only that... you can watch with bemusement as cars crash into other said vehicles while the drivers try to ctach a glimpse of your well turned and high heeled legs!
