Heels are a necessary evil when it comes to formal wear, but they take a toll on your spine and thus overall posture. But that does not mean you should oust this foot wear which contributes huge to your personality. So, you just need to shun the myth and accept the reality.
This means that you need to be a bit careful but you can carry on with heels. Here are a few of the myths and the reality,
Wearing heels for long hours affect spine
High heels cause gait imbalance and thus cause the wearer to walk unnaturally. High heels, especially those over 2 inches high, may cause body weight to be distributed excessively on the toes and the person leaning forward. To compensate for this, the person tends to lean backwards causing overarching of the lower back. This unnatural posture for a long time can take a toll.
What to do then?
This was the reality mentioned above. Now comes the myth that heels should be avoided for this reason. Rather you can alleviate the strain on your spine by maintaining balance in terms of using high heels.
Preferably wear high heels when you are not expecting to stand or walk too much. Wear them sparingly by using other types of footwear on other days. On days when you are wearing high heels, do not forget to stretch your calf muscles and feet at the end of the day so that they recover from their journey in those high heels.
