The right heel fell into the asphalt

"I can't live without heels!" - declares a friend, with a creak pulling off her long-nosed boots with a high stiletto heel in the corridor, and, groaning, stands up with her bare feet on the flat surface of the floor. I understand that she is not cunning: you can get used to everything. Adapting to constantly worn shoes with large heels, the structure of the entire leg changes: some muscles develop, others atrophy. Walking seems to be familiar, but body weight is no longer distributed over the entire foot, but falls on the toes.

The center of gravity of the body moves, which changes the position of many internal organs and, as a result, leads to a noticeable restructuring of their activity. A woman in high heels, in essence, subjects her foot to extreme training, shaping its plastic and functional restructuring under the influence of her weight. This is called resistance training in athletes. The load that a fragile female leg experiences is comparable to the efforts of a heavyweight weightlifter. And how to be here? Don't throw off your uncomfortable shoes right in the middle of a party ?! Of course not. Such is the fate of women - to pay tribute to beauty.

You can make it easier training:

But the paradox: constantly reading information about harmfulness of heels, the woman is convinced: an extra couple of centimeters will never hurt her legs. From time immemorial, ladies have increased their legs with the help of a heel. Meanwhile, the high heel was invented by men! But they, as you know, are great egoists, therefore, coming up with this detail, first of all, they took care of themselves. Horsemen of the East nailed the heels to their boots in the XII century so that the foot would not slip out of the stirrup during a frantic jump.

And women's heels appeared at the court of Louis XIV. The legendary Marquise Pompadour was short, so she wore heels. They say that the king himself was not tall. Therefore, at the court, the fashion for huge heels instantly took root.

High heels still do not go out of fashion. Only their thickness and shape change. And again, hairpins are popular, as in the 60s; chunky, stable, straight heel …

Modern fashion considers classic stiletto heels boring, so now you can see heels of all sorts of shapes, and strip heels, narrow when viewed from the side, and wide at the back or a stiletto with large "amber" beads, will not look extravagant. In women's casual shoes, along with an elongated square or round toe, clear geometric lines are preserved. Asymmetrical details and cutouts are very popular.

For everyday wear, fashion designers recommend ballet flats, as well as shoes with rounded toes with wide flat heels 1-1.5 cm high, reminiscent of children's shoes.

Stiletto shoes with thin oblong toes are recommended for evening shoes. Shoes decorated with bugles, beads or fringes, as well as with buckles, shiny splashes or with embroidery are very fashionable.

The high heel can be of the same thickness along the entire length. In cross-section, it can have a different geometric shape - a narrow rectangle, a trapezoid, and even a triangle. Also in fashion are heels with a slightly curved "glass" shape and cone-shaped. The platform gives way to a wedge heel.

Bulky accessories are welcome: flowers, butterflies, leaves. They can be made of leather or fabric, they can match the color of the shoes themselves, or they can contrast with them.

It is permissible that several colors be used in spring-summer shoes. The top and heel, the details of the heel, or (this is especially true for open shoes) the lining (insole and inner part) may be different. The novelty of the season is covered insoles, the material for the covering is taken either in the color of the top or with a floral ornament, such insoles have a stitching with an indent from the edge of 5-10 millimeters.

From the materials relevant: calfskin of matte tones of gray, brown, grape colors and coated "metallic"; reddish-brown suede with a golden sheen, often with embossed or printed reptile pattern; microfiber in black and brown colors, faux fur (spotted Dalmatian, leopard) and even knitwear.

But we must not forget that in real life a woman needs to be in ten places at once. And in most of these places, the least appreciated is the length of her hairpin. When I worked as a TV journalist and came to work in high-heeled shoes, my director said, "Forget you're a woman," and sent me in cloudy weather to shoot a report about replacing pipes.

I, holding my umbrella over the video camera, bathed in the rain, standing ankle-deep in a muddy puddle. And then, with squelching legs and a tarnished reputation, I drove to the city administration or God knows where … Needless to say, in the evening I was wearing high heels, I noticed myself: a tired expression on my face, a weak reaction to external stimuli and a strange gait on bent legs … Such an image, most likely, led others to sad guesses about my uncomplicated personal life, about addictions … And such a reaction of unfamiliar but significant people, you must admit, does not help a woman to solve her problems at all.

Even if you cannot live without ordinary boats with the simplest heels, remember that orthopedists are unanimous - shoes should be comfortable and the heel should not exceed 1/14 of the foot length. With a higher heel, the leg is constantly in tension.

If you drive a car, keep in mind that heels increase the risk of an accident, the foot may simply not have time to move quickly or get caught on the pedal.

If you are overweight and short, avoid chunky square heels. A taller and narrower heel will help lengthen your legs.

If you cannot refuse heels (you will not go to a buffet table in slippers), try to choose the most comfortable shoes with stable heels (with an emphasis on the entire sole). Then there will be less risk of falling or dying from pain in your legs all evening.

Scientists have long been dealing with the problem of the importance of shoes in human life. Researches show: what we put on our feet is one of the most significant sexual attributes. For example, red pumps with high heels shout: "Look at me!" Their owner, a young girl, craves attention from men.

But brown half-shoes-low shoes of an orthopedic type quietly say: "Leave me alone, I only need comfort" …

It is believed that open toes in shoes or sandals act on men like a red rag on a bull, and the demonstration of the inner line of the bending of the foot is a completely audacious and provocative act that can make home-grown Kazans, who know a lot about women's legs, hold their breath.

A girl putting on boots in the "battalion" style demonstrates her sexual power, shows her unwillingness to fulfill other people's whims. Another chooses high platform shoes that match her height with men.

Clogs and heeled flip-flops draw attention with the sound of walking and draw the eye to a vulnerable, bare heel (remember the mythological story of Achilles). A woman who prefers such shoes as everyday shoes may well dress up in a dress with a high slit that exposes the thigh in the evening.

Considered a symbol of subordination, T-strap shoes are often used to complement extreme sexy outfits.

The color and condition of the shoe are also important - the newer and brighter it is, the freer the morals of its owner.

Heels also speak of character:

Evenly worn out heels and soles are on the shoes of energetic, balanced people. You can always rely on them in difficult times. If the shoes belong to the fair sex, then she is, in addition to all these qualities, also a wonderful mother.

The outer edge of the heel has a habit of trampling on initiative, strong-willed people prone to adventures and adventures.

If the inner edge of the heel is worn out, then the man wearing these shoes is timid and indecisive; the woman is soft, like plasticine, and modest.

The rogue can always be identified by the soles: they are worn out at the very tips.

Children's shoes - a special conversation. After all, even the most fashionable and original models for children should fulfill their main function - to help the little leg develop correctly.

Naturally, increased requirements are imposed on children's shoes. Convenience and functionality are two prerequisites for children's shoes. It should be strong, but not constrain the child's foot. Stability, lightness, hygiene are also needed.

The materials used for making children's boots are thinner, lighter and more harmless. Therefore, artificial and synthetic materials for the bottom and top of shoes are prohibited in preschool shoes and booties. In addition to natural leather, only low-toxic porous rubbers are allowed to be used for the bottom of shoes.

The design, however, must comply with strict parameters: to ensure the normal development of the foot of children, to be comfortable when putting on.

Heel - only low! Up to one centimeter high. Medium heels - up to 45 mm - are allowed only for girls' shoes (size 22, 5-26, 0).

You cannot make children's shoes with an open heel part, because a closed one better fixes the foot. This is a condition for its correct formation in the process of growth.
