"Is it dangerous to wear heels that are too high?"

“Not necessarily, as long as the foot is well arched: which is not the case for all shoes.

New shoes therefore need to be carefully tried (as a pair), and it is advisable to practise walking perched 8 or 10 centimetres off the ground before going out for the day.

Having said that, the constant wearing of very high heels is tiring for the back and the joints.

So it is better to alternate: one day in stiletto, the next in moccasins.”
