Questions and Answers about High heel pumps with straps

Can I dance tango with regular high heel pumps without strap/laces?

Question:

Answer: Some people do, but I wouldn't recommend it. You need to use your feet when you dance. In a regular high heel pump, you can't point your toe without the heel slipping off. If you don't point and flex your feet when you're supposed to, your feet are going to look awkward.

Fashion fanatics take higher risk

17.05.12

More than 500 women were injured wearing high-heel shoes during the past 12 months - and the renaissance of 1970s-style platforms has put women in even more danger.

The shoes have an ultra-high-heel with a thick platform underneath the toe. Physiotherapists say many women believe it is a great way to add height without extra strain on the arch of the foot.

But musculo-skeletal expert David Woodbridge, from Functional Physio in Mt Eden, said the shoes were worse than a conventional high-heel because the wearer's centre of gravity was raised further and the stability was taken from underneath the toe as well as the heel. "It's like walking on stilts," he said. "It upsets your balance and throws the body weight forwards. There's a risk of acute and gradual-onset injuries."

The taxpayer picks up the strain.

ACC figures show that since the shoes became fashionable there has been a 13 per cent increase in claims caused by high-heels.

There were 503 between July last year and June this year, and 521 the previous year. For the 2008-09 year, there were just 454 cases.
