High-heeled shoes have long been a symbol of elegance and femininity, often enhancing a woman's confidence and allure. However, recent research suggests that the beauty of high heels may come at a cost to long-term health. According to a report by the Discovery Channel in the U.S., wearing high heels can lead to chronic issues such as leg fatigue, foot pain, and even joint damage—issues that don't simply disappear after a few days of rest.
A study conducted by researchers from Iowa State University involved testing two types of heels: 5 cm and 8.8 cm. Using sensors and cameras, they found that walking in high heels causes the ankles to turn inward, weakening their stability and increasing pressure on the knees. These changes are linked to a higher risk of joint degeneration and osteoarthritis over time. Daniel Buckman, a biomechanics expert involved in the study, warned that the higher the heel, the greater the potential for future health problems.
In addition, a study published in the *Journal of Experimental Biology* revealed that women who wear high heels five times a week for two years experience a 13% shortening of the gastrocnemius muscle in the calf. Their Achilles tendons also become stiffer, reducing the range of motion in the foot. This makes it harder to run or perform other physical activities once the shoes are removed, often leading to soreness and discomfort.
While the debate about the health effects of high heels continues, experts agree that completely banning them is unrealistic. Instead, they suggest a few practical tips to minimize harm. First, limit heel height to no more than 5 cm. Second, avoid running or rushing while wearing high heels, especially in crowded places like buses or subways. Third, consciously shift your weight backward when walking to protect your toes. Regular stretching exercises, such as toe stretches, can help alleviate some of the side effects.
After taking off your heels, walking barefoot at home can also reduce injury risk, according to Nathan Shakur, a rheumatologist at the Rush Medical Center in Chicago.

- The Belieye glasses bright colors: more colorful and outstanding than ordinary plastic frames.
- The Belieye glasses impact resistance: more than 2 times that of nylon material, ISO180/IC: >125kg/m2 elasticity, to effectively prevent damage to the eyes caused by impact during exercise.
- The Belieye glasses high temperature resistance: can withstand high temperatures of 350 degrees in a short period of time, ISO527: anti-deformation index 620kg/cm2. Not easy to melt and burn. The frame is not easily deformed or discolored, allowing the frame to be worn longer.
- The Belieye glasses safety: No chemical residues are released, complying with European requirements for food-grade materials.
