High Heels are a very essential part of every woman’s attire. Women in the UK wear heels almost every day. The scientists here have a reason to worry. They are of the view that the nation could enter a sort of ‘arthritis crisis’ with the excessive use of high heels by the people.

Most people suffer from joint pains. Arthritis in the nation is a huge problem and is very common and severe in women. It has been revealed that the high heels that one wears have direct connection with the nervous system of the body. They lay a huge amount of stress on the joints as well as nerves, making the body stiff.

It was revealed by Professor Anthony Redmond that even though arthritis becomes more prevalent when one ages, it may happen at any point in life.

“Choosing the right footwear will help minimize the stress placed on the feet and joints during everyday activity and helps reduce the risk of injury and joint damage”, he said.

“For daily wear, the recommendation is to opt for a round-toed shoe with a heel height of no more than 2-3cm (one inch) and with a shock-absorbent sole to help minimize shock to the joints”, he said further.
