High heeled shoes


  • Stiletto heels

Incidence

Knee osteoarthritis appears to be twice as common in women as in men, although pressure on the knees is the same when men and women walk barefoot. Wide-heeled shoes increase the inward twisting force on the knee by 26% compared with 22% for narrow-heeled shoes. This force in turn increased compression on the insides of the knee joints.
