The waist bends back, the negative gravity curve of the human body is greatly changed, the excessive back extension of the waist, the back muscle contraction and tension, and the lumbar facet joints and joint capsules are in
Tense state
In the long run,

,
Hallux valgus
And other symptoms.
[3]
Because the bones of the toe joint protrude to the inside, wearing high-heeled shoes for a long time will put pressure on the bones of the front foot, affecting the muscles attached to the thumb, causing the thumb to move in the direction of the rest of the toes. If women don't tie high heels

Wearing high heels properly can improve a woman's body shape and increase the tension of the calves and abdominal muscles.
