High heels shrink calf muscle fibers so states a British Study.
"UK researchers say they have uncovered why women who often wear high heels can find it painful to wear flat shoes."
Fox news warns that women who have worn high heels should not switch to flat shoes.
Of course we have always known that wearing high heels consistently was not good and the the muscles would be altered in some fashion; what we did not know is that the calf muscles fibers, as shown by the British study, was thirteenth percent shorter.
Controversial advice about treatment abounds. It is highly unlikely that women, even those who prefer to wear high heels to work, will live wearing them around the house. And how about gardening, and walking for exercise. At times, even the most urbane of women must resort to flat shoes. What advice for them?
Alternate flats with heels and massage the muscles in attempts to soothe the tightened muscles and gradually get them to become more flexible.
