Often times I have clients that come in who wear high heel shoes... here's an article about the cons of wearing high heels:

Also I must add that the calf muscle is the heartbeat of our lower extremity. It is the reason blood shoots up back into our body to recirculate. If your calf muscle does not work properly (which is often the case because wearing heels causes tightening of the calf muscle) the blood cannot recirculate which then causes blood to pool in the lower extremity. Pooling blood = blood clots and if one of those blood clots become dislodged it could mean an embolus (traveling thrombi) which is life threatening. (This condition is called Deep Vein Thrombosis)
If the thrombi is caught which often times it is because your leg becomes discolored, you will spend approximately 9 months on blood thinners to dissolve the clot... does this sound like a good time?
I have personally had 2 clients whom were on blood thinners for blood clots. Both clients were chronic heel wearers. I must admit, heels are cute but I will leave them in the store... I dislike needles even more!!
