Why do people still wear high heels? I asked myself that question a while ago, after owning over 20 pairs of them. They were appropriate for the job I had but after a long shift my feet would be killing me, and it wasn't till I changed jobs that I completely stopped wearing them. Why were they invented I wondered, and I found out that they were good shoes for horsemanship and essential to the fighting styles of Persia. "When the soldiers stood up in his stirrups, the heel helped him to secure his stance so that he could shoot his bow and arrow more effectively." The design causes more harm that people know. "The pressure on the back of the heel bone can cause Haglund's deformity, a bony growth, also known as a pump bump. The daily wearing of high heels can also cause the Achiles dendon to shorten, increasing the risk of plantar fasciitis. Toe injuries." Now that you know you might consider whether or not you still want to invest your money in these beautifully designed style of shoes.
