It is not unusual to see celebrities and others who want to make a statement wearing extreme high heels. These heels are usually in the range of three to seven inches tall. It is amazing that anyone can walk on such heels, let alone prance up and down the street or burn up the dance floor. Extreme high heels are not healthy for the feet. Extreme high heels can lead to foot problems, leg problems
. and backaches, especially as young high heel or stiletto wearers start to age. Some women think extreme high heels look sexy and lengthen the legs. Some fashions do look better with a high heel and frumpy with a low flat heel. For women who want to take good care of their feet, there are great choices in lower heels that give the illusion of higher heels. Consider slim heels that are 21/2 inches in height. These have the look of stilettos with a comfortable height that can accommodate walking distances, dancing and a day at the office without damaging the feet or legs.
