They high heeled shoes be the height of fashion – but the health risks will bring you back down to earth with a bump. Five-inch heels are becoming the most sought-after shoes on the high street as shoppers take their lead from celebrities such as Victoria Beckham. But experts warn that the craze is to blame for a rise in the number of women coming to them with back and hip injuries.
One of the most common injuries from very high heels is a twisted ankle from falling over, but repeated wear can also strain the back, hips, knees and thighs. Alison Wyndham, a Fleet Street physiotherapist, added: 'Five-inch heels make you walk on your toes, and you're not supposed to walk in that position.' (Dailymail)
