High Heels and Foot Deformities

In a recent study almost 70% of women in the high heel study developed a foot deformity. Women are not used to wearing these massive uncomfortable high heels they do so simply because the look appeal to them. Will the look of Bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciitis, calluses, inflamed nerves and ingrown toenails appeal to these women too? They are likely to develop any one of these foot deformities soon.   High heels put the feet in a very uncomfortable position, pushing the toes together and wearing out the forefoot padding. Any of these deformities may cause a person to be embarrassed to show their feet, but worse than that it may require that one have Bunion Surgery Los Angeles and/or other types of foot surgeries.

 Although bunion treatment Los Angeles many not scare women out of wearing heels the pain from any of these foot deformities may. If one does develop a bunion wearing high heels may become more painful than ever. Because of the friction against ones shoe a bunion may become painfully enflamed making it more difficult to live with. The extent of the bunion may also be the deciding factor in ones bunion surgery. Because the more one wears heel the worse the bunion foot doctors suggest that one limits the amount of time one must wear heals and invest in the most comfortable pair possible.
It is possible to purchase comfortable high heels. In order to wear the type of high heel that is least likely to lead Los Angeles Bunion Surgery one should only purchase heels below three inches. If an individual’s foot is wide one should purchase wide shoes to accommodate all sides of the foot.  Shoes that are too narrow are bad for the feet, stick to shoes that allow breathing room in all areas. Individuals should invest in shoe extra shoe padding in order to keep the foot at its healthiest no matter what one is walking in.
Although Bunion Removal Surgery Los Angelesis effective and widely performed, the best medicine for preventable foot deformity is prevention. If one avoids developing foot deformities they will not have to deal with the pain of the bunion or the surgery, but if it is too late then one should look for a qualified foot surgeon and discuss their options for corrective surgery.
