The impact of heels on foot health

High heels are a common fashion choice, but they can affect the health of your feet in several ways. They change the body's natural posture, shifting weight toward the forefoot and putting extra pressure on the toes and metatarsals. This can cause deformities such as bunions and hammertoes. Additionally, lack of proper arch support can lead to problems such as plantar fasciitis. It is always important to choose and wear high heels safely and comfortably to minimize these effects. To help you better understand your shoes, Dr. Orlando Díaz, Orthopedist and Traumatologist, provides us with ideas and advice from the specialist's perspective.
