What are the health risks of wearing high heels?

High heels boost your risk for serious foot pain down the road by a whopping 67%. Wearing heels that are two inches or higher every day shortens calf muscles and thickens your Achilles tendons, making the world's easiest exercise -- walking -- difficult. Chunky platforms are far easier on your feet, but because you can't feel the ground under you very well, tripping on uneven pavement is a daily risk.

Swap 'em for kitten heels and Audrey Hepburn flats. Not only are they stylish (flats are back, big-time), they're also unlikely to send you careening onto the sidewalk.
