People’s two feet share the weight of the body equally, and from the point of view of the division of labor, the work of the heel is a little heavier than the forefoot. With one foot bearing fifty percent of the weight to calculate, the heel is responsible for about thirty percent, and the remaining twenty percent is allocated to the forefoot. Wearing high heels is bound to lift the heel, so that the overall center of gravity is shifted forward, the load on the forefoot is bound to increase. Some studies have pointed out that, in fact, wearing flat shoes on the human body is not beneficial, shoes with about an inch of short heel can help us more smoothly out of each step, can effectively reduce the strength of the lower limb rear muscles lifting the leg, comfort increased, but also to prevent strain on the tendons, why not. However, too high heel, even two inches, almost has been able to transfer most of the weight to the forefoot. Imagine, after wearing high heels, the heel landing time is actually shortened, so that the gait is lifted faster than normal. In fact, elegant ladies, after wearing high heels, you are just walking on your toes! Pain on High – Foot Pain The foot consists of bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, fascia, blood vessels and nerves, and any foot pain caused by trauma or deformation of the foot is called foot pain. Due to the change in the distribution of bearing points, wearing high heels will inevitably cause deformation of the foot, and the first part to be affected is the bunion joint, resulting in bunion, which is also the most common “beauty price” of high heels. Bunions, commonly known as “bigfoot” disease, are a common forefoot deformity in which the bunion is excessively tilted to the outside of the foot and the first metatarsal is retracted, with clinical manifestations mainly being bunion deformity, pain and bunions, and widening of the forefoot. Severe bunions can cause the second toe to extrude toward the back, forming a hammertoe. It often occurs symmetrically, and there is also flatfoot. Of course, wearing high heels brings beautiful trouble far beyond the “big toe” one. If your high heels are a bit abrasive feet, shoes and skin friction, shopping for half an hour will grow blisters, may at first we do not care too much, a long time to develop, these parts will be easy to grow calluses and corns. Medicine will calluses called calluses, is due to repeated extrusion and friction of the skin, epidermal hyperplasia formed. Corns are due to extrusion of the skin of the foot, epidermal resistance is reduced, pathogens invade the subcutaneous, continuous proliferation and multiplication and the formation of conical corns, corns central nucleus deep into the skin compression of nerves, or its tip has a bursa, bursitis occurs, walking with pressure will be painful. Most people have ingrown toenails, which are commonly referred to as toenails that grow into the flesh. If the toe is squeezed for a long time, the nail pierces into the flesh, causing redness and pain, which turns into “nail fungus”. Wearing high heels with a pointed toe for a long time can also cause claw toe. The claw-shaped toe is the toe like a claw can not straighten, tension stretching ligaments and tendons make the toe joints down, wearing pointed high heels, the toe is pressed in the sole, the bent joints by friction, growing thick calluses. We describe it as “the palm of the foot grows into the shape of a high heel”. To make matters worse, high heels are usually pointed, cramming five toes into the space of four, further exacerbating the problem of uneven pressure distribution. The term metatarsalgia is too specialized, but, according to a previous survey of high heel pain, metatarsalgia topped the list. Metatarsalgia, in layman’s terms, is pain in the forefoot. The more popular high heel shoes, with thin soles and thin, high heels, put the foot inside, the metatarsal bone is compressed for a long time, the damage to the metatarsal head area affects the nerve through the place, which thickens and eventually leads to the surrounding tissue hyperplasia, causing neuritis or metatarsalgia. Moreover, the nerve branches distributed between the second and third, fourth and fifth metatarsal bones are most prone to neuralgia or even neuroma, which in severe cases must be corrected with surgery. The heel is too high, while wearing high heels, but also to maintain an upright posture, the Achilles tendon will be in a state of long-term tension, often wear high heels people may wish to self-perception of their Achilles tendon, whether it is not as flexible as it once was? In the long run, it will form Achilles tendonitis. Plantar fasciitis arises because when walking, the foot is bent downward, the higher the heel, the greater the degree of bending, the contraction of tendons and foot muscles becomes shorter. When you take your first step in the morning, the muscles of the heel and the fascia of the foot suddenly stretch, and over time, inflammation of the plantar fascia develops.
