Shoes are part of your everyday lifestyle now we take advantage of them and we never stop to think what does it don to our feet. I will start off with womens high heels, the everyday work shoes or going out for dinner with the mates they are definitely a very popular shoe amongst women. Studies from the spine health institute say these heels take a toll on your spine, hips, knees, ankles and feet.
In high heels womens chests are forced forward, their lower back is pushed forward (taking hips and spine out of alignment), theres more weight put on your knees and increase pressure on the balls of your feet.
Flat shoes are on everyones shoe racks, But what do they do to your feet?
According to Mike O'Neill a spokesman for the Society of Chiropodists flat shoes can "strain the achilles tendon that runs from the back of the heel and also the calf muscles in the back of the leg".
It has no shock absorbency which can lead to a heel condition called plantar faciitis which causes the cartilage in your foot to harden and swell.
