It is a common feature now a day to use high heeled and pointed foot wear. Most of the users do not know the bad affects of it. High heeled foot wear of more than 2 inches cause more strain to the ankles, knees and ultimately to the hip joints. With the result the cartilaginous tissue on the joints gets damaged and slowly arthritis sets in.

High heeled foot wear also causes imbalance in the gait while walking results in the twisting of the foot and fractures. Therefore users of high heeled foot wear should not use high heeled of more than 2 inches to prevent joint problems.
