2 In “Everything about Achellies Tendon,” (2013), ondue strain results in over 230000 Achellies tendon injuries per year in the U.S. alone a Not Too Much. The greater a shoe’s cushioning and heel height, the less stretching the Achilles tendon does with each stride and the smaller the calf muscles’ range of motion b not too little. Racing flats, heelless spikes, worn out shoes, moccasins with no cushioning, heel heights lower than 1/2″ – 5/8″ (12-15 mm), and shoes with cushioning that is too soft are bad extremes on the no cushioning, no height side.
B one of the effects wearing high heels can increase the risks for joint degeneration and osteoarthritis
1 According to Danielle Barkema, a bio mechanist who conducted the new study at the Iowa State University in Ames “Wearing even higher heels puts individuals at even greater risk of developing knee osteoarthritis later in life. It can get to the point where there's bone-on-bone contact, and knee replacements are in order”. a Can lead to “osteoporosis” and joint irritation b Followed by pain in the knee
2 Pain in the knees and back will lead to pain on the feet causing Bunions. a Badly –fitting shoes can cause a bony swelling at the base joint of the big toe angling (Hagan,P “High heel horrors!
