I’ve always ignored the many stories about how bad and dangerous high heels could and would be to health. Doctors and other specialists always warn for problems with the feet, ankles, calves and back. Also I’ve been warned of course, several times.
The big high heels news last weekend was that the queen of high heels, Victoria Beckham, was spotted (again) on flats. Several blogs, papers and news sites are writing about this horrendous and shocking news. Gossips are going around she can’t wear high heels anymore due to feet problems. Other gossips just say she takes a more laid back approach to her appearance.
Let’s assume Victoria does have some feet problems. A while ago I’ve seen some pictures of her when she was wearing stiletto pumps, revealing much of her feet which didn’t look very well. How could this happen? Are specialists right about the dangers of wearing (too) high heels? Well, I think specialists are right in a way. Wearing too high heels too many times could give problems one way or another. Victoria was always wearing towering heels. She has admitted several times she never wears something else. It looks like she will also get another title: the queen of the bunions. Simple due to the fact she wore too high heels too many times.
So, here is my piece of advise: You can safely wear high heels, as long as you don’t wear stiletto’s every day. Change the height of the heel daily. I won’t wear stiletto’s three days in a row. In some cases two days, but on day three definately a lower heel. If you have sore feet at the end of the day, take your shoes of when you’re home and make your feet relax.

Very good advice indeed!
It’s a good thing to differ heel height and wear flats in between, to relax your feet, legs and back.
And of course, on days that you need to walk long distances you can always take a pair of flats with you as well, so you can change into a more comfortable pair when you need to walk.
