High-heeled shoes are known to contribute to a host of ailments, including ankle sprains, bunions, hammertoes, knee problems, and low back pain, and researchers now say that shortened calf muscles and stiffer tendons in the calves can be added to the list. A new study shows that spending five or more days a week wearing heels at least two inches high shrinks a woman's calf muscle fibers by an average of 13% and thickens the Achilles tendon—which connects the calf muscle to the heel—by 22%. When a woman like this wears flats or walks around barefoot, the muscles and tendons are stretched, causing discomfort.
