I was young and I was not even into hh... but I sliped and got my hand very unlucky bhind my back to catch my fall and broke my arm... so no need to wear hh to break something! "Women should stick to shoes with heels less than 4cm (1.5in) if they wanted to avoid a trip to hospital, he advised." Well now, do we have doctor do-good or what? I know some women who couldn't walk a straight line in beach flip-flops while others seem to have little difficulty on 6" skyscraper heels! Also, with my collapsed spine, it's not impossible for me to hurt myself just getting out of bed. Someone please tell the good doctor that the world is a dangerous place. I was a bit surprised to see this thread revived, but the last time I looked the world is still a danerous place. Keep on stepping, Guy N.

Anything can be turned to dangerous use even something as simple as a pencil. People should just relax and enjoy the great sensation high heels provide for us.

0 roniheels Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 BobHH, Thank you for sharing this with us. By now, people who want to wear high heels are aware of any "effects" that might occur when wearing high heeled footwear. It just truly amazes me that the articles concerning "the dangers of wearing high heels" keep appearing. People who want to wear high heels are going to continue to wear high heels as a personal preference. Yes, the information is informative and there are some good tips. But people will continue to wear high heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 eoneleg Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 We have heard this time after time........same old story. Athletes risk injury every time they walk onto the field or whatever venue they compete in but face up to the risks. Same thing with wearing heels, or in my case - a heel with crutches. I do very well on them, very graceful in a four or even five-inch (US) stiletto which I wear every day. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 legs777777 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Unfortunatly I cannot wear any high heels at the moment due to a running accident, twisted ankle and torn tendons in my right leg, some time to fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Walkonit Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Unfortunatly I cannot wear any high heels at the moment due to a running accident, twisted ankle and torn tendons in my right leg, some time to fix that. Ooof that sounds bad. Sorry to hear that. I will add though that it actually might be beneficial to start wearing heels during your recovery period. Once the swelling has reduced its important with any sports injury to begin strengthening and flexibility work. In the case of an ankle injury wearing heels increases flexibility and strength. Do it carefully though because if you try this too early your can re-injure your self. Dr. Walkonit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 roniheels Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Unfortunatly I cannot wear any high heels at the moment due to a running accident, twisted ankle and torn tendons in my right leg, some time to fix that. I once sprained my ankle so badly that after x-rays the doctor said, "I've got good news and not-so-good news. The good news is that your ankle is not broken. The not-so-good news is that an ankle sprain can take as long as a broken ankle to heal, depending on the severity." I did what the doctor told me to do and in four weeks I went snow skiing and had no problems. Take care of your leg and ankle and make sure they're healed properly before heeling again. Best of luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got any lower heels. I would actually recommend a 3 inch heel or less for any extended heeling for now, until your healing is complete. Higher heels while nursing an injury like that is playing with fire. Shafted, the boots that is!
