Teetering Along ??
Are you teetering along in high
heels ?? I have been working with a Corporate client and am amazed at
how high the heels are around the office.
I actually wonder if these
women can see themselves as they walk? Mostly their posture is quite
strange. The high heels create this pivot between their bottom and
their boobs - both stick out at an unnatural angle. There is one young
woman who also wears a very tight skirt (at least one size too small)
and complains about having a sore back and would rather pay for chiro
and physio than "give up my heels".
Mostly, I wear flat shoes and on the occasional day when I wear heels, my feet and legs know about it for a couple of days.
What we do know from years of
research into the effects of wearing high heels is that it does put
extra pressure on the ankle, knee and hip joints. Over time this will
take its toll on the joints and leave women with aches and pains and
often requiring joint replacement.
While I am not advocating
permanent expulsion of all shoes with heels, I am suggesting that maybe
one day a week, or more often, you could wear flatter shoes; or perhaps
try the "New York look" and wear your sneakers with your suit to and/ or
from the office. There used to be more women opting for this.
