Harmful Female Footwear: A Public Health Perspective

Footwear fashion is an instance of a socially formed attitude affecting somatic population
health. High-heeled, particularly pointy-toed shoes are posed to structurally distort and
overload feet leading to musculoskeletal sequelae. Here we compiled multilanguage website
images presenting female footwear produced by the top manufacturers to assess the advertising
effects on the prevailing height of heels worn by women. The method was based on the analysis
of websites using the command "woman shoes" in scores of languages of the Internet Google
browser. We then compared the results of the internet search with those of a live street
surveillance of the footwear worn by 100 adult women in the downtown Warsaw metropolis
in Poland. We found that stiletto heels with pointed shoe tips significantly predominated in
images representing the countries belonging to the Western cultural sphere compared to less
affluent world areas where low or flat heels prevailed. However, we noted a gradual departure
from the fashion of high heels over the last decade, confirmed by live street surveillance, liable
to reflect changes in the website presentations of top shoe manufacturers consistent with
increasing awareness of potential harm by high heels. Yet the female aptitude for wearing more
physiologic shoe models appears to exceed that resulting from marketing campaigns. Doing
away with high-heeled pointy-toed shoes requires intensification of pro-health preventive
measures in the field of public health.
