I’m sorry, but this nonsense has to end. Women don’t realise how dangerous high heel shoes are for their ankles, back, and long-term posture.
I remember reading somewhere (cant find the godamn source for the life of me) that the risk of ankle injury increases by 150% for each cm added to the heel.
High heels are unnatural, dangerous, and uncomfortable. End this.
Eh… I wouldn’t recommend them for use during vigorous activity or on uneven ground. But they honestly aren’t that big of a deal for the majority of people. Around a cm of heel height is built into the vast majority of shoes. Most work boots and especially cowboy boots can have 3-4 cm of extra heel height without causing problems.
People with hyper mobile ankles or heels can be at higher risk of ankle injuries, but when people with higher mobile joints turn their ankles the sprains tend to be less severe. People with tight calves, heel spurs, hx of plantar fasciitis, or shortened Achilles can actually find high heeled shoes more comfortable than flats.
Everyone is different, just because you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in heels doesn’t mean everyone does.
