This is a very cool article from the Washington Post Health section, describing the physical impact on your spine, legs and feet from wearing high heels. It also discusses how walking in high heels impacts your posture and the way you walk. Although this article probably won’t stop you from wearing heels, it might get you thinking about how your body responds to this type of footwear. The human body is complex, and Muscle Activation Techniques may help restore balance after walking in these all day.
