Not only women believe that heels look beautiful. An elegant girl running on the heels with the melodious heel-knocking will be for sure noticed by men. Girl feels taller on the heels, more confident and attractive. But a constant walk on the high heels brings a lot of disadvantages: after several hours of «beautiful» walk you can feel the incredible fatigue and the doctors all over the world advice to wear high heel shoes not so often. What is better to choose: beauty or health? Or maybe there is a compromise?

You will not believe, but the heels for the first time were invented by men and for men. High heels were comfortable for riding, helping to manage the horse and keep striving. At that time the height of the heel was 6-8 cm. In the 16 century in France, Catherine de Medici ordered a pair of shoes on the heels to underline her high position in society. It was the first time when a woman wore heels. But that tendency was stopped till the end of 19th century, when designers came back to the heels, but this time it was symbolizing women attractiveness.

Why are the high heel shoes so attractive for us? First of all, it is a great opportunity for girls with short height to look higher and feel confident. Secondly, high heels visually elongate legs; make the figure slimmer. Beautiful walk on the heels is an art.

All heels can be divided into several types. By the forms such as «bottle», «pins», «wedge heel », «platform», etc. by the height: low (up to 5-6 cm), medium (5-8,5 cm), high (8.5 cm and more). Each girl chooses for herself the most convenient high heels. Doctors recommend to wear high heel shoes up to 4 cm, as this is considered to be not only safe height, but also useful. It should be known that the height of the heel is not measured from the floor, but the height of the underside of toes.

Why are high heels so dangerous for health? As a result of displacement of the center of gravity, it increases the load on the back, shifting the vertebrae, pelvis and internal organs. So the results can be the curvature of the spine and inflammatory diseases of internal organs. That is why young girls whose skeleton have not yet fully formed, are prohibited wearing high heeled shoes. Besides, when we wear shoes on heels, body weight is distributed unevenly on the feet, especially on toes. Note that after wearing high heel shoes for a long time, the sneakers are very inconvenient. Recently, scientists have found a link between the high-heel shoes and infertility, as well as a violation of the brain in women.

Such dire consequences may occur in the long time period, therefore the girls very often think that perhaps they will not be affected by it and continue to enjoy the beauty. It is better to prevent disease than treat it later. There are several ways to combine business with pleasure: to wear heels and cause injury.
1. Pay special attention to the choice of footwear. The best time for shoes shopping is the evening, because in the morning the feet are in a normal size and at the evening they change a little bit and if you buy in the morning, it is possible that the same shoes might be small. Before purchasing try on selected shoes, stand on both feet and walk a little in the shop, as well as in a sitting position, because the length of a foot in that way is shorter about 0.5 cm. While selecting the high heel shoes measure your opportunities: wear shoes and lift yourself on the toes so that the distance between your heels and the floor is about 2 cm, see if you are unable to do that, it means that this shoes is not for you.
2. It is very important to give a rest to your feet periodically: walk barefoot, use massagers for legs, try not to sit cross legged and do not sit in the same position for a long time.
3. Try to wear different shoes. Doctors recommend wearing high-heel shoes not more than 3-4 hours a day.
4. Do not take risks if you have a predisposition to various diseases of the feet or your work is constantly «on legs». In this case it is better to “say no” to high heels.
