Michelle Obama is so smart she doesn't wear high heels


Pretty but not for everyday wikipedia

I read about Michelle Obama wearing flat shoes. She looks terrific I think no matter what she wears but her brilliant mind knows how bad high heels are for her. 

"Women do love their high heels, but if you wear them all the time, significant foot pain and other problems can ensue, either as a direct result of the heels or exacerbated by them," says Morris Morin, DPM, director of podiatric medicine at the Hackensack University Medical Center.

You could have problems such as corns, calluses and even worse - the ball of your foot gives you a lot of pain that gets worse and worse and worse.

So many women refuse to give up their high heels. I look at women admittedly for the most part under the age of 30 and sayy ouch. A survey conducted by the American Podiatric Medical Association showed 42% of women admitted they'd wear a shoe they liked even if it gave them discomfort and 73% admitted already having a shoe-related foot issue. I too used to wear shoes that were attractive but not comfortable - never again!

This is a really interesting article. If you are one of the people who wear high heels every day you may want to read the entire article at  Webmd.com
