Anyone wearing high heels must walk very carefully. They must be able to maintain balance to avoid falling. Consequently, if done frequently, it can influence a person's daily walking style or habits when not wearing high heels.
This means that your walking style will indirectly change and appear unusual. Additionally, you will also be at a higher risk of experiencing foot injuries such as sprained ankles.
2. Triggering Varicose Veins
Not many people know that wearing high heels can trigger the appearance of varicose veins. Varicose veins commonly occur as a symptom of disrupted blood flow. Varicose veins can occur due to the widening of the veins in the legs. The risk of developing varicose veins is higher if you underestimate the negative effects of wearing high heels.
Because wearing high heels restricts foot movement, it indirectly hampers blood circulation in the lower legs, which can trigger varicose veins. If left untreated for too long, varicose veins can cause swelling and pain.
3. Joint Pain

The next impact of wearing high heels is causing joint pain. Of course, for those of you who are used to wearing high heels, you often feel sore and painful in several parts of your body. Usually, the areas that feel painful include the joints in the feet and back.
This condition is exacerbated by the pressure on the back. As a result, blood circulation in the back area becomes less smooth. Thus, it causes pain as if being pinched in the waist and back.
4. Risk of Spinal Disease
Not only causing pain, in the long term, the impact of wearing high heels can also trigger spinal diseases. Because, as mentioned earlier, when using high heels, the body's weight will be concentrated on the back. So indirectly, it will also affect the alignment of the spine.
An imbalanced spine condition is certainly very dangerous. This can cause various problems such as pain, numbness, pain in the lower back, and tingling.
5. Influencing the Growth of Toe Nails
The habit of wearing high heels can also affect the growth of toe nails. Wearing high heels too often can cause disorders in the toe nails, making them appear fungal. However, these disorders are actually caused by friction or impact with the narrow high heel shoes.
As a result, the toe nails may not be able to grow normally. In fact, they may grow inward. This risk increases even more if the high heels worn have pointed or sharp fronts.
6. Risk of Knee Injuries

Another negative effect of wearing high heels is the risk of knee injuries. Not only because of the risk of falling, but wearing high heels in a safe manner can also cause knee injuries. This can happen because when wearing high heels, the entire body weight is concentrated on the knees. As a result, the knees are more prone to injuries.
7. Aggravating Bunion
Bunion is a lump that often appears in the area of the big toe joint. Well, wearing high heels too often turns out to aggravate bunions. The reason is that when wearing high heels, it will force the big toe and other toes to move forward and merge at the end. This will trigger the lump that appears in the big toe joint to become larger.
So those are some of the negative effects of wearing high heels. So, you still have to be careful. Don't force the situation for appearance's sake, but neglect your health instead.
