My left foot would do that until they reattached the tendon.

I was thinking more or less about position of the ankles shown in the pictures rather then the affect that any uneven or damaged surface might cause. I have also noticed that the natural construction of the human leg causes the feet to cup slightly from the inside towards the outside of each other, tilting slightly towards the center to a point where when the heel is placed on the ground, the ankle is bent slightly towards the outside creating an impression that the heel is more to the inside than in the center of the foot. It appears that the higher the heel, the more noticeable the illusion.

Hey youngster, Sometimes its not the shoes but the surface; walk on cobblestones or wet slippery surfaces (in stilletoes). You have no choice. The only time I have fallen was on a rounded uneven surface of cement 'tiles'. But I have had a leg slip out from under me.

I think leaning heels look awful and dangerous. I expect an ankle injury at any moment. When my heels start to lean, I check the tip. If the heel tip is not worn, then the shoe is faulty and needs to be disposed of and replaced. Seeing others with leaning heels I ponder about the reason - either he/she has never spent time learning to walk correctly or the heel tip is badly worn and needs replacing. Walking in high heels can be challenging and many never manage to get above a medium 3 inch heel. I always admire those girls and boys who can walk correctly without leaning in heels of 4 inches (10cms) or higher, and walk with confidence, looking superb

I just celebrated my 68th birthday. I have been wearing high heels for more than 50 years. I have never experienced any problem like what is shown here. For the life of me, I don’t understand how anyone could function wearing shoes that fit as shown. Besides being unsightly and most uncomfortable, they could be considered downright awkward and dangerous. Needless to say, if I had that problem, I wouldn’t ever wear heels.
