The dangers of high heels

Doctors have issued a new warning to women about the dangers of wearing high-heeled shoes. This increases the risk of broken bones and ankle pain, they said.

Reasons such as alcohol abuse or high air temperatures may cause women who wear such shoes to fall while walking, and thus a number of injuries.

Such injuries can lead to long-term health problems, says Robert Evans, an accident and emergency physician at University of Wales Hospital in Britain. Evans advises women to keep their heels at a height of no more than 4 centimeters (one and a half inches) if they want to avoid these problems. He asserts that he has witnessed an increase in the number of women who are hospitalized due to injuries caused by their high heels. He says that no less than “half a dozen” of the women are referred to the section where he works every week because of such injuries. Varying losses. Their injuries ranged from broken bones to sprained ankles, and reached the point of dislocation in some cases, and even caused permanent disability in others.



But he is disagreed, at least in part, by the president of the British Society of Emergency Medicine, Dr. Martin Shale, who says that he has not noticed an increase in the rate of injuries among women recently, but he does not deny that wearing high heels may lead to results that are not insignificant.

“This is something we can see very clearly, and I’ve touched it over the years,” he says. “Falling from high heels causes very serious problems.”

He also finds that what Evans says is very logical.
