We all know that sky-scraper heels are bad for your feet. Our sexy stilettoes take a constant battering in the press with warnings of how our feet will end up looking like gnarled old tree when we’re older. But now even flatees can’t get away without a bit of a press bashing, my beloved ballet-pumps apparently aren’t doing my feet any favours either. According to the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, many don’t adequately support your feet and can cause arch and heel pain if you wear them regularly, which I do.
So to avoid foot disfiguration we are advised to choose a firm, thick heel under 3cm and a wide or square toe. OK that’s fine if you’re a man but what the hell are us stylish ladies supposed to do? All is not lost, I’ve taken heed of the society’s advice and discovered there are still some fashionable shoes out there that aren’t going to make your feet look like your grandmas.
