According to Live Science, 64% of women who wear high heels have regular ankle main.
There is also something really pleasant sounding called Pump Bump. Wearing heels is super glamorous until you get something called Haglund's deformity. This is a bony enlargement on the back of the heel. It is caused by the straps and rigid backs of pump-style shoes rubbing and irritating the heel.
This just seems really upsetting. According to Live Science, basically high heels hold the leg in a bent or shortened position for an extended period. One study found that after 20 to 50 years of wear, high heels could shorten the muscle fibers in a woman's calf by up to 13%!

Awesome! High heels create chronic stress on the big toenails causing improper growth, skin puncture, nail trauma or fungal infections, according to Live Science.
And let's not forget hammer toes. Wearing heels can cause your toes to curl up so the shoe fits.Eventually the toes will become so misshapen that they can't be straightened. That'll look cute in a pair of flip flops.
To keep your balance while wearing high heels, a woman has to tense her back, hips and calf muscles, according to Live Science.
The higher the heels, the worse your knees are. Joint and lower back degeneration are a real risk, according to Live Science.
The higher the heel, the more pressure there is on the front of the foot. Over time this can cause bruising. Heels can also cause metatarsalgia - pain in the area of the foot just before the toes. Age increases your susceptibility.
