Common Foot Ailments Caused by Wearing Killer Heels

Blisters. Commonly caused by friction or burns, women who wear high heels are prone to having them especially because of the foot swelling caused by the strain their shoes put on their feet, which in turn causes the skin to rub more vigorously to the lining of the shoes. Although blisters are for the most part harmless, they can be a nuisance when walking.

Bunions. These are bumps that occur where the bones of your toe meet your foot. Studies have shown that bunions occur more in women than in men, presumably because of wearing high heels. Bunions are not only unsightly, but equally painful. Stars like Victoria Beckham, popularly known for her love of high heels, is reported to be suffering from bunions and has already been advised to go under a bunionectomy. But Posh however refuses to take it as it would prevent her from wearing her trademark Victoria Beckham shoes – killer heels.

Hammer toes. If bunions protrude outward, hammer toes protrude upward as cause by the toes being scrunched up inside the front of the shoe when wearing high heels. Because of the pain in the joints, it’ll be very hard to walk when you’ve been afflicted with this condition, more often than not, only surgery can correct it.
