High Heels and Midlife Crisis

It's true that nothing can lift the spirits like a sassy new pair of high heels. But if it seems those heels were a lot more comfortable in your 20s and 30s then they are in your 40s, 50s, and beyond, you're right.
Feet change with age, say experts, and some of those changes can make wearing high heels a lot less comfortable. One of the most common: a loss of fat in the bottom of the foot.
"As you age, you lose some of the fatty deposits that normally protect the ball of the foot -- and some of it also slides forward towards the toes," says Morin.
When we slip our feet into those strappy stiletto sandals and step down, he says our weight is thrown on the spot where we have less protection.
"In extreme cases you actually have the bony ends of the foot grating down into the sole of the shoe with almost no protection at all," he says.
Not only does this cause pain, but it may also increase your risk of stress fractures and osteoarthritis in the feet.
And while some doctors attempt to repad the foot using injections of silicone or wrinkle filling injections like Restalyne, both Morin and Mogul say it's not a good idea.
"These injectables are not meant to withstand the pressure of body weight; they don't last and they tend to move around from the weight," says Morin.
Moreover, the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society warns women against these and other strictly cosmetic procedures for the feet. Calling the trend alarming, they warn consumers that risks -- including infection, nerve injury, and difficulty walking -- frequently outweigh benefits.

High Heels and Foot Pain: What You Should Know

Anytime you wear shoes that are tight or constrict the natural shape of your foot, doctors say it's bound to cause foot pain. But when you add high heels in to the equation, podiatrist Stuart Mogul, DPM, says pain can quickly escalate to damage. "In addition to restricting the foot, you are also increasing the weight on the area that is restricted, so you're not only crushing your toes, but you're crushing them and then putting weight on them, and that's a problem," says Mogul.  Among the most common problems he sees are painful, aching bunions -- those bony protrusions that usually pop up at the base of the big toe and distort the shape of the foot.
     "High heels don't cause bunions, but they sure can aggravate them. Both the heel height and the point of the shoe can play a role," says Mogul.  Moreover, he says some women who have bunions also have a displaced bone on the bottom of the big toe joint, which changes the way the foot "tracks" or acts during motion.  "If the foot is then placed in a high heel, and pitched forward, the pressure on these bones increases and bunion pain grows worse," he says.

Tips & Warnings of Wearing High Heels

When climbing stairs, make sure both sole and heel land together firmly and simultaneously on each step. When descending stairs, only the sole of the shoe needs to be planted on each step.
Learning to walk in high heels is mostly a matter of practice.
While high heels can make your legs look better and longer, they can also wreak havoc on your feet, especially when worn regularly over long periods of time.
Avoid driving in high heels - you don't have quite as much control over the car, and you can damage the back of your shoe. Keep an extra pair of flats in your car, or consider driving barefoot.: How to Walk in High Heels | eHow.com
