The toe tips of the high-heeled shoes are mostly narrow and small, so that the toes are imprisoned in a narrow space and subjected to extrusion. In the long run, the female's big toe inclines toward the small toe, and it is more serious with other toes or the bones of the feet are prominent.

Hallux valgus seriously affects the appearance of feet, so there are beautiful "heel shoes" hidden in a pair of "ugly" feet, but also brings great pain. In addition, it may also cause bone and joint hyperplasia, such as bursitis, and more serious problems will affect walking.

According to the survey, among the women with hallux valgus, the majority of women wearing more than 10 cm high heels for more than five years.

At the same time, the foot acts as a peripheral nerve, which has the function of connecting the channels and collaterals and maintaining the circulation of the whole body. Therefore, when the feet are confined by space, the blood supply will be insufficient, which will cause physical discomfort.

Therefore, it is recommended to wear high-heeled shoes no more than 3 times a week, and soak the feet with hot water before going to bed, so as to relieve headache, insomnia, loss of appetite and so on.

In addition, high-heeled shoes are very dangerous for diabetics, because after they wear their toes, the wounds of diabetic patients can not heal like ordinary people, which may cause further infection, cause diabetic foot lesions and even cut off the risk.
