A study recently said that women wearing stilettos walk differently than those who walk in flats or in barefoot. In a nutshell, the study points out that wearing high-heeled shoes alters the muscles and tendons of the feet in such a way that the woman wearing the shoes walks short and more forceful even when she walks barefoot.

In a nutshell, the study points out that wearing high-heeled shoes alters the muscles and tendons of the feet in such a way that the woman wearing the shoes walks short and more forceful even when she walks barefoot. This is because of the shortening of the calf muscles due to the positioning of the legs whenever one is wearing heels. Although the question of whether this muscle shortening matters or not, researchers advice to wear heels once or twice a week. If it is proven that such shortening of calf muscles really have a huge physiological impact, would you wear a “healthy” stilettos?
