Introduction[edit | edit source]
Its a popular notion that high heels can increase a Woman's physical attractiveness, thus enhancing her health and fertility. [1]
Legs in high heels are seen to be more attractive than legs without high heels. Legs that are in heels are perceived to be longer than those not in heels. The longer leg length is seen to be more sexually attractive to the opposite sex. the use of high heels give the perception that Women are being safeguarded by their partners. Women feel more sexually attractive as well. [1]
High heels are seen to superficially increase Women's attractiveness to Men through altering their gait, reducing their stride length, and increasing their pelvic tilt and hip rotation. in addition, the curve in Women's lumbar spine is increased, which also increases attractiveness. [1]
High heels do have psychosexual benefits which make their use more preferred, however there are many detrimental effects associated with high heels, making their use a public health challenge. [2]
There is an association between psychosexual benefits and the negative effects on musculoskeletal health, which makes high heels a social and controversial issue. These effects and aspects will be discussed. [2]
Musculoskeletal Health[edit | edit source]
A biomechanical review has found that there are incorrect variations to the neuromechanics of walking gait, and kinematics and kinetics of structures within the body from the spine to the toes, which can create a risk for various conditions. [2]
Hallux Valgus[edit | edit source]
Osteoarthritis[edit | edit source]
Various biomechanical reviews show evidence that there is a risk of osteoarthritis, though there isn't evidence of epidemiological studies.
