Negative Impact on Your Foot:
- Pain on the ball of the foot.
- Ankle sprains.
- Due to heel height, ball of foot absorbs the full amount of pressure on the feet.
- The heel height can also cause feet to wobble, which may lead to ankle sprains.
- Use a padded insert to alleviate pressure on the ball of the foot.
- Always shop for high heels in the afternoon because feet tend to swell during the day, and buying shoes when feet are at their largest ensures a more comfortable fit.
- Also try slightly lower heels to reduce pressure.
