Whenever we wear heels our posture isnt normal. The hips and the spine goes out of the normal body alignment which changes the body posture and body balance and more of the pressure is exerted on the lower body and mainly our feet have to bear it all. The pressure is on the forefoot, lower-back , knees, thighs and the pivotal joint too is affected. The increased pressure may lead to pain or foot deformities such as hammer toes, bunions, bunionettes and neuromas.
The downward foot position also causes the foot to be more turned to the outside and affects the feets function of balancing bodys weight. This change in foot position changes the line of pull of the Achilles tendon and may cause a condition called Haglund's deformity commonly called pump bump. Stiffening of the calf muscles is another complain. In order to maintain a balance while walking one has to walk carefully concentrating and watching the step. Therefore our feet have to bear a lot of pressure from the body.
There are several health problems that girls can face with regular use of high heels. As a lot of pressure is on the knees, there is a chance of osteoarthritis which becomes a more serious problems with ageing. High heels have a bad effect on calf ligaments and tendons therefore it stiffens and pains a lot. As the our feet are put to a more vigorous use while walking in heels, the joints and tendons in the hips and thighs are overused. This results in long-term prevailing body pain.

Most of the high heels that we buy give girls blisters in fingers or in case of sandals that are narrow from the front and closed, the pressure gets on the nail tips which gives a sharp pain in fingers. Blisters leave ugly marks on fingers.
