last updated Sunday 22nd May 2011 - 17:57
Inthe winter season of 2008 shoes had even higher heels than previously seen before and they were set to get even higher! Christian Louboutin currently had shoes on offer with heels of up to 7.1 inches. Mahnola Blahniks could be purchased with a 5.9 inch heel. It was been reported that the following season we would see heels of 8 inches on sale by Christian Louboutin!
Is it any wonder that since then, the fashion to carry foldable pumps in an evening bag has caught on?
Back in the 1970s, we were warned of the dangers of wearing high heels. We were told how it would alter our posture and make child birth more difficult. Whether this was an urban mystery or not is unsure but podiatrists and doctors now warn of spinal compression, joint problems, osteo-arthritis, bunions and calluses.
Who wears shoes with such high heels? Fashionistas and celebrities? The young at heart? Those seeking some instant pick me up from the “credit crunch”?
Women love shoes! It is a well known fact and men just seem bemused by it!
If wearing high heels can cause spinal compression, joint problems, osteo-arthritis, bunions and calluses then one would think wearing flip flops would be a safer option, flat with no pressure points to cause bunions or corns!
Apparantly not ladies. It has been reported that the NHS spend £40 million a year treating people wtih injuries sustained from wearing flip flops. Experts warn of prolonged use, which they say can bring the risk of shin splints and joint pains. Flip flops have been responsible for twisted ankles, broken wrists and arms, aching toes, stubbed toes! My own daughter broke both front teeth after tripping over wearing a pair!
