As we all know women love wearing heels which seem to be getting higher and higher every year. However wearing high heels for long periods can cause many problems ranging from aching feet to hammer toes. High heels can also cause problems for other areas of the body including your knees, back and hip. It's staggering to think that 80% of people with foot problems are women. Pregnancy is one of the main factors as your body changes and your weight increases, coupled with wearing high heels only increases the chances of feet problems. Add this to the fact the women walk up to 3 miles more than men everyday no wonder women suffer more.
