Italian Stilettos: Wear Now, Pay Later!


How many ladies saw the chic pair of heels in the image above and image above and though "really nice shoes", and how many guys thought "these ladies sha, I hope they don't kill themselves one day?" We will lean towards the male sentiments this time. What I mean by the title of this post is not to pay the money later, but to pay later in terms of your health. In case you did not know, wearing stilettos have consequences!



High heels have a reputation for being bad for comfort, but this barely stops women from wearing them occasionally, with many wearing them daily. Women commonly make sacrifices for fashion, but at what price? Studies have shown that these shoes can be costly in more ways than one, taking their toll on your spine, hips, knees, ankles and feet, while altering your posture and gait. Research has been done to help educate and convince women to take this passion down a notch.

One in 10 women wear high heels at least three days a week, and a third have fallen while wearing them. Statistics show that high heels are one of the biggest factors leading to foot problems in women, with up to a third suffering permanent problems as a result of consistent wear.


In Summary, wear high heels regularly and for extended periods only if you cam afford to wear now, and pay later.


Now this image is rather nasty, but it does help to keep things in proper perspective.
